Revelations
She cheated on me, extorted money: Khan
Talking to SpotboyE, Khan has said, "She cheated on me while being in relation with me for eight years, thereafter she started demanding money putting me in fear which made me transfer her Rs. 5,70,000 (sic)."

Quote
'This girl has tarnished my image'
Khan, who is now married to one Shalini Suryavanshi, stated in the interview, "I am a happily married person now, but this girl has tarnished my image, name, and business by misusing the law and putting false statements without any proof (sic)."
Case
His lawyer called it a 'false rape case'
Khan's lawyer, Ali Kaashif Khan, called the complaint by his ex-girlfriend "false," claiming his client is being targeted. "We are highly disappointed with the order passed by Sessions court at Thane. The court has overlapped the judgments of the Supreme Court and High Court in false rape cases. It had failed to understand that long term relationships are not always rape (sic)," he said.
Claims
Woman didn't return any of Khan's gifts, claims lawyer
The lawyer further claimed that an agreement was signed earlier between Khan and his ex-girlfriend under which she had agreed to return all the gifts he gave to her, including a diamond ring and a gold chain. However, the woman failed to abide by that agreement. He added they have sought Rs. 1 crore in damages from the woman for allegedly defaming Khan.
