MUMBAI: After reports said many celebrities are under the scanner of the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in connection with the Mahadev money-laundering case, as many as 17 Bollywood celebrities are involved in this process. This includes Shraddha Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Sonakshi Sinha and others, for attending or performing at the company's head Sourabh Chandrakar’s wedding in February earlier this year and the company’s success party in September 2022.
The Mahadev app enabled illegal betting on various online games like poker, card games, chance games, badminton, tennis, football and cricket. The app is allegedly run by Dubai-based Saurabh and Ravi Uppal. The company operates from Dubai where betting is legal, however, it's illegal in India.

While his name popping up in the Mahadev betting scam is the most recent, here are the times where controversies have haunted the ace stand up artist.
