As of October 25th, 2025, Kannada television actor Asha Jois is embroiled in a legal controversy after being accused of blackmailing a 61-year-old woman.

The complainant, identified as Parvati, claims that she met Jois around three years ago, during which time the actor introduced herself as a member of the Shringeri Sharada Peeth's Jois family and a television personality. Parvati alleges that Jois tried to convince her to participate in a blackmail plan targeting Parvati's husband's employer, seeking ₹2 crore through intimidation.
