# Bollywood Drama Off-Screen: Ameesha Patel Hit with Non-Bailable Warrant in Cheque Bounce Saga! Imagine booking your dream Bollywood star for a lavish wedding, only for her to ghost the event—and years later, a **non-bailable warrant** lands in the mix. That's the wild reality for actress **Ameesha Patel**, star of hits like *Gadar 2* and *Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai*, as a Moradabad court cracks down on a 2017 dispute.[1][3][6] ### The Backstory: A Wedding Gig That Turned Sour It all started in November 2017 when event organizer Pawan Verma of Dream Vision booked Ameesha for a high-profile wedding performance in Moradabad. He paid an advance of around **Rs 14.5 lakh**, arranged her flight, hotel stay on Delhi Road, and more—only for her to not show up.[1][3][5] Verma claims discussions led to a partial cash refund of **Rs 10 lakh**, but a follow-up cheque for the remaining **Rs 4.5 lakh** (some reports cite Rs 2-4 lakh variations) bounced, sparking the cheque bounce complaint under the Negotiable Instruments Act.[1][3][5] Despite multiple court summons from the Additional Civil Judge (Junior Division), Ameesha didn't appear, leading to the **non-bailable warrant** to ensure her presence. The next hearing is slated for **March 27**—failure to show could mean arrest, echoing cases like Rajpal Yadav's cheque troubles.[3][6][7] ### Ameesha's Side: "It's Settled!" Ameesha's counsel, Abhishek Sharma, fires back: the matter was **resolved years ago** via a full settlement, with the entire amount returned. He calls the complaint a misuse and is confident she'll appear to clear it up.[1] This isn't her first rodeo— she's faced similar cheque bounce cases, like a **Rs 2.5 crore** Ranchi film dispute (settled after full payment) and others linked to events and films.[2][4][7] Bollywood's underbelly of bounced cheques has snared stars from Ram Gopal Varma to Koena Mitra, often tied to unfulfilled deals.[7]
