Tamannaah Bhatia has broken her silence on the ongoing reports linking the actress's name to an alleged Cryptocurrency fraud case. There were a number of reports doing the rounds claiming that the actress had been summoned by the Puducherry Police in connection with a Rs. 2.4 crore cryptocurrency fraud case.

In an official statement shared, Tamannaah Bhatia denied her involvement in the matter. She labeled the reports claiming otherwise as "fake" and "misleading" further assuring that her team is looking into the matter to initiate proper action.

"It has come to my attention that rumors are being circulated alleging my involvement and dealing with cryptocurrency. I'd like to request my friends in media not to circulate any such fake, misleading, and false reports and rumors. In the meantime, my team is looking into the same to initiate appropriate action," she said in the statement.

For the unversed, earlier in the day, February 28, several reports surfaced that alleged that the Stree 2 actress and Kajal Aggarwal were likely to be summoned by the Puducherry Police for questioning in a case linked to an alleged cryptocurrency scheme.

According to a report published in 123Telugu, Puducherry resident Ashokan filed a complaint with the local police claiming he and his 10 friends were duped by a Coimbatore-based firm of Rs. 2.4 crore after getting them to invest in a cryptocurrency scheme.

The complainant alleged that he was invited to the company's launch event in 2022, which Bhatia attended, and a subsequent function in Mahabaleshwar was attended by Kajal. The report claimed that the police had sought clarification from both the actresses. On the other hand, there has been no official statement from the police on the matter.

On the professional front, Tamannaah was last seen in the Netflix film Sikandar Ka Mukaddar. Written and directed by Neeraj Pandey, the film also featured Avinash Tiwary and Jimmy Sheirgill in the key roles.

In other news, Tamannaah took a holy dip at Triveni Sangam during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Saturday, accompanied by her family. The actress had described the experience as a "once in a lifetime chance" while speaking with ANI.
