Countering actor Sahil Khan's allegations that he was in a relationship with her, which prompted her to spend enormous quantities of money on him, Jackie Shroff's wife Ayesha has told a sessions court that such a romantic affair could not possibly have existed between the two as Sahil is gay. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Ayesha has claimed that Sahil's wife Nigar divorced him because he was gay and that she walked in on him having sex with a male staff member. Ayesha, represented by advocate Anjali Patil, has levelled these allegations against Sahil, her one-time business associate and friend, and his sister Shaista while opposing their anticipatory bail. In his application Sahil had claimed that Ayesha set up the film studio Karma Productions with the sole intention of using her family's wealth to fund her extravagant lifestyle under the garb of running a business. This was in response to Ayesha's allegation that Sahil cheated her of Rs 5 crore. In her response to this charge, Ayesha has said that the Khans demanded money from her on several occasions and she obliged them, dipping into her personal as well as company accounts. "They claim that I made payments to them via company account to hide from my family that I was taking lavish vacations with the accused. All the payments were made from my personal accounts directly into their accounts. These funds belong to my husband. And the two of us share the same Chartered Accountant. So hiding anything from my family does not arise," her reply read.
