Sussanne Khan recently garnered limelight after she was alleged of cheating a real estate firm. A case was filed against her by Emgee Group of companies for projecting herself as an architect to win a contract. Sussanne however falsifies all the allegations made by the company.

Here's the statement issued by Sussanne Khan's team on the issue:

"Sussanne Khan and The Charcoal Project were hired in the year 2013 to envision a signature project in Goa by Emgee Group. Her role was that of Creative Director, who would put together all aspects of design to make the project come alive.

As Creative Director, Sussanne Khan, in a completely transparent manner hired further talent for architecture. From the very inception, Sussanne Khan in clear terms had made it known that she will be using a leading architect who would work closely with her to design the project. At no point did Sussanne Khan suggest that she herself is an architect. Thus, Rooshad Shroff was engaged formally as the architect of the project.

All legal agreements between Mr. Mudhit Gupta and Rooshad Shroff and Sussanne Khan and Mr. Rooshad Shroff clearly indicate that the Emgee group was fully aware of this fact.

All marketing collaterals including the brochure and invitation cards show Rooshad Shroff as the architect of the project. This is stated in black and white and clearly illustrates the reality and the facts of the situation. These collaterals and brochures were produced for the Emgee Group and Mr. Gupta, thus how could they be unaware of the facts?

In time, Mr. Mudhit Gupta had a difference of opinion with Mr. Rooshad Shroff and thus Sussanne Khan hired a second architect, Mr. Burgees Italia.

The Emgee group and Mr. Mudhit Gupta have now claimed that Sussanne Khan misrepresented herself as an architect. The supporting documents attached with this press note illustrate these accusations to be untrue and baseless.

Sussanne Khan has initiated a civil suit against the Emgee group and Mr. Mudhit Gupta in the year 2015. This latest action by the Emgee Group is a blatant attempt to twist facts and put pressure on Sussanne Khan."

Earlier Sussanne quoted, "As a counter-blast to the said proceedings, Mudhit Gupta, with the only intention to harass and pressurise me to give into his frivolous counter-claim, initiated the criminal complaint." And "Such complaints do not scare me rather it encourages me to stand up for the truth. The allegations in complaints are false and defamatory. I will take appropriate proceedings in accordance with law."
