However, on her return, she realized someone was really applying Arjun and her name to appeal models.”She confirms, “This did happen. The funny thing is that we don’t have any modelling company under our names. The only agency I had was back in 1992, which I shut after a few years.It’s sad that somebody is using our names to trick people.”Does she plan to take any legal action? “No, I don’t have the time. Unfortunately if you research my name on the Internet, the old agency still comes up.
So somebody is possibly attempting to use that information. I wish to state for the record, however, that neither Arjun nor I run any modelling agency.”
