Celebrity manager Karishma Prakash has resigned from KWAN Talent Management Agency and no longer represents Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone.
Celebrity manager Karishma Prakash has resigned from KWAN Talent Management Agency and no longer represents Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone. Since reports emerged on November 4, the agency has now confirmed the news with an official statement. Prakash later in the day was also seen arriving at the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) office in Mumbai at 12:15 pm.
"Karishma Prakash tendered her resignation on 21st of October with immediate effect and it was accepted. She now has nothing to do with KWAN or with any of the artists that the agency represents, including Deepika Padukone. The ongoing investigations are on Karishma Prakash as an individual. We would request media houses and reporters to incorporate this fact while reporting on this issue," said Vijay Subramaniam, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of KWAN, in the official statement.
According to reports, the NCB recently had issued a second summons to Karishma Prakash. Earlier, it was reported that summons were sent to her parents' residence as well as to KWAN, but she did not appear and was said to be absconding.
Karishma Prakash Was Reportedly Untraceable
Karishma Prakash's name emerged more than once in the drugs case probe in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death. The NCB had claimed that Karishma was untraceable. It was reported by The Indian Express that the NCB searched Prakash's residence on October 27 and found 1.7 grams of charas and three vials of CBD oil.
NCB Sends Summons To Her Office And Residence
In September 2020, Deepika Padukone and Karishma Prakash both appeared before the NCB for questioning. Apart from the two, NCB had also called actresses Shraddha Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan and Rakul Preet Singh for questioning in connection with the drugs case in Sushant's death probe. All the actresses had voluntarily submitted their phones to the NCB for forensic investigation.
Karishma Appeared At The NCB Office On November 4
The NCB first began investigation after the Enforcement Directorate (ED) found some alleged chats discussing drugs, while investigating actress Rhea Chakraborty in the Sushant death case. Reportedly, the Central Bureau of Investigation and the ED are still probing the case.
