However, later the actor sent a “reconciliation project” to his wife. Shamas reportedly worked as Nawazuddin’s manager between 2008 and 2020, during which he was accused of cheating and deceiving Nawazuddin. The actor claimed that he had received legal notices from various government bodies for unpaid tax of Rs 37 crore that Shamas was supposed to pay. He also alleged that Shamas and Anjana blackmailed him with “cheap videos” and comments on social media. In response to the allegations leveled by Nawazuddin, Shamas wrote a lengthy note to the actor on Twitter questioning the defamation case and also revealed his other legal cases.
