Gupta addressed the claim of non-payment of salary, presenting bank statements as evidence of consistent payments over three years. 'The accusations regarding delayed salary payments are entirely unfounded, and my bank records clearly reflect timely payouts,' Gupta said.
He has engaged in police cooperation, providing statements and intends to counter the claims legally. 'This is not just an attack on me, but an extortion racket targeting Bollywood personalities.
