Upasana Singh sues Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu for “breach of contract”

Mumbai: Popular actress and excellent comedian Upasana Singh has worked in numerous TV shows over the years. Her character of ‘Bua’ that she played in the show Comedy Nights with Kapil, became quite popular and she is still remembered for that role.

The actress recently grabbed attention after she sued Miss Universe Harnaaz Sandhu, accusing her of not honouring an agreement signed for the promotion of a Punjabi movie.

Upasana Singh filed a civil suit in the Chandigarh district court, seeking damages for the alleged breach of contract.

Upasana also claimed that she signed Harnaaz for Bai Ji Kuttange much before she was crowned Miss Universe 2021.

As per Upasana, Harnaaz was supposed to give 25 days for the promotion of her Punjabi movie titled ‘Bai Ji Kuttange’ but she has not been replying to her messages or emails. She also claimed that the film was initially postponed because Harnaaz could not promote it and now that it is releasing on August 19, the Miss Universe is again unavailable.

“She was a beginner for us but she then became Miss Universe. As per the contract, Harnaaz was supposed to give 25 days for the promotion of the movie. All actors and actresses are supposed to promote movies. Even big stars follow this. We have all this in our contract. I sent multiple messages to Harnaaz asking her for dates. We were supposed to release the film on May 27. She did not reply to any of our emails, message, or phone call. Now the film is released on August 19. We have been trying to contact Harnaaz. I told her to give me 5 days instead of 25 for the film’s promotion. But she refused for the same,” Upasana Singh said in Punjabi while interacting with the media personnel outside the court.

“I gave her a chance when she wasn’t the Miss Universe but a struggler. I had put all my hard-earned money into this film. This is not a small movie,” she added.

Meanwhile, apart from Harnaaz, Bai Ji Kuttange also stars Dev Kharoud and Gurpreet Ghuggi and is directed by Smeep Kang. Apart from producing the film, Upasana Singh has also acted in it.
