Priyanka Chopra's Cousin Meera Chopra Files FIR Against Interior Designer As She Gets Duped

Priyanka Chopra's cousin Meera Chopra has filed an FIR against an interior designer?who "was relatively known to" her as "my entire family knows him" after she was duped by him.?

Chopra, who has acted in films like?1920 and Section 375, recently took to Twitter to write, "#womansafety should be the utmost priority where you live, but then why do lawmakers shy away from taking action? A girl living alone should be protected anyhow (sic)."

Explaining about the incident, she told Bombay Times, "I was duped by my interior designer. I had filed an FIR against him nearly two months ago, yet no action has been taken against him. These people should be answerable to the lawmakers and society. If nobody questions them then it only encourages them to do it over and over again".

Elaborating on what exactly had happened, she said, "I appointed this interior designer to do up my house in Mumbai. We planned the house interiors for Rs 17 lakhs. I paid him Rs 8 lakhs in advance as I was leaving for a shoot for 12 days and he promised me that in my absence he would finish a good amount of work.?

"When I came back, I was unhappy with his work. When I pointed it out to him he got aggressive. I asked him to return my money and stop the work. I am sure he only utilised Rs 1.5 lakhs for my house work, and so, I asked him to return the rest but he refused. It is only after this that I lodged an FIR against him."?
