Saira Banu Settles Property Dispute with Builder After Cheating Case Closure

As of November 10th, 2025, the Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the Mumbai police has closed a cheating and forgery case that was previously filed by actress Saira Banu Khan against builder Sameer Bhojwani and others. Banu, the wife of late actor Dilip Kumar, had alleged in 2018 that Bhojwani and several others conspired to sell a prime 2,412 sq. yard plot in Bandra through forged documents.

However, Banu has now submitted a notarized affidavit stating that the complaint was filed due to "disputes and misunderstandings" between her late husband and Bhojwani. She has confirmed that all disputes have been "amicably and irrevocably settled" and that she has withdrawn all allegations of fraud and forgery against the accused. The related civil dispute in the Small Causes Court has also been resolved, with both parties agreeing to cooperate in the process of quashing the FIR.

While this particular case has been closed, there is still one more case pending against Bhojwani. This case was filed by Divyakant Khatau, a member of the Khatau trust, alleging that Bhojwani had forged documents to lay claim over another plot in Pali Hill next to the actor's bungalow. The police have already filed the charge sheet in this case, and it is currently pending trial.
