Cezanne Khan Accused Of Domestic Abuse
During the same interview, Aisha Pirani disclosed that she had also experienced mistreatment from Cezanne Khan. She stated that her children could testify to the abuse, sharing instances where Khan would confine her within a room or the house and engage in flirtatious conversations with other women via Skype. Pirani described Khan as a "Casanova" and quoted his recurring dialogue, saying, "I am married to you; I haven't given you my life." She further revealed that Khan would frequently resort to verbal abuse, using offensive language even for minor lapses such as forgetting to bring fruits, which he liked to consume at night. Certainly, here are a few more instances of Indian actors who have faced allegations of abuse:
