Bollywood actor loses 1.5 Crores to an energy drink brand

Kushal Tandon, a TV actor, recently uncovered a scam involving an energy drink after a partnership with the brand soured. He has appeared in television dramas such as Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai, Beyhadh, and Barsatein - Mausam Pyaar Ka. In a recent instance, he took to social media to express his grievance about delayed payments of Rs 1.5 crores owing to the company under unpaid contracts. In a tweet, he urged other artists to beware of the Brand manager of that Company.

According to his post, the brand’s proprietor decided not to comply with the contractual obligations since he was owed Rs 10 lakhs for producing relevant advertisements. Tandon, a former contestant on Bigg Boss 7, complained about several broken agreements and constant follow-ups without delivered promises especially for Wait what’s the brand name that’s caused concern. “The last two months have been full of broken promises as we have been meeting with a lot of empty excuses with a promise for the end of the week on most days,” he emphasized the need for accounts and responsibility in the business relationships and contracts.

Tandon has raised the issue regarding the series of bounced drafts coupled with the unreliable promises made, while characterizing the conduct of the brand as disrespectful and unprofessional. He too pointed out that after rendering the services in line with the contract, he was ignored and instead of the payment promised, excuses were given.

Tandon made it clear that in order to ensure that people don’t suffer the way he suffered, he has overwhelming evidence against the company that he will use to salvage other creators. “Payments issued by cheques after there are promises and promises are continuously unhonored and bounced for the non-growing focus and non-accountability,” he said. Kushal's strongest appeal is for his creative audience, through his constituents that have been formed over the years, to repost his post to advance the concept against fraudulent practices within the industry.
