In a shocking turn of events, Bollywood actress Ameesha Patel has surrendered before the Ranchi Civil Court in connection with a high-profile cheque bounce case. The case, which dates back to 2018, was filed by Jharkhand-based film producer Ajay Kumar Singh, accusing the actress of fraud.

Despite several summonses issued by the court, Patel failed to appear, leading to a warrant being issued against her. However, the senior division judge DN Shukla granted her bail and instructed her to personally appear before the court again on June 21.

According to the complaint, Singh transferred a substantial amount of ₹2.5 crore to Patel's bank account for the production of a film titled "Desi Magic." Unfortunately, Patel did not proceed with the project, resulting in the issuance of a bounced cheque worth ₹2.50 crore.

This development comes at a crucial time for Patel, who was set to make her silver-screen comeback with the highly anticipated film 'Gadar 2,' where she stars alongside Sunny Deol. The surrender in the fraud case casts a shadow over her much-anticipated return to the big screen.

It is worth noting that the Supreme Court had previously stayed criminal proceedings against Patel for the charges of cheating and criminal breach of trust. However, the court allowed the proceedings for the offence of cheque bounce to continue in accordance with the law.

Despite these legal challenges, fans and industry insiders eagerly await the release of 'Gadar 2,' hoping that Patel's legal troubles do not overshadow the film's success. The talented actress's comeback has generated significant buzz, and audiences are curious to see her on the big screen once again.

As the saga unfolds, the entertainment world remains captivated by the twists and turns in Ameesha Patel's life, both on and off the screen. Only time will tell how this legal battle will impact her career and the fate of 'Gadar 2.'
