Alia Bhatt’s Ex-PA: In an unexpected development, Vedika Prakash Shetty, Alia Bhatt’s former personal assistant, is at the center of a financial scandal that is rocking Bollywood. Insiders say she may have embezzled more than ₹80 lakhs, if not more, by reportedly faking the actress’s signature and gaining access to private accounts; however official statistics have not yet been verified.
Vedika reportedly oversaw Alia’s daily routine, handled private documents, and participated actively in Eternal Sunshine Productions’ activities during her more than two years of intimate collaboration with the star. Now, that intimate access begs the unsettling question: Did she betray that trust from the start?

Lights, Camera… Fraud?
Sources close to the actress say Vedika always seemed “a little too involved” in Alia’s affairs. “She used to act like she knew everything and kept things to herself. There were moments when we doubted her intentions,” an insider revealed.
Following a months-long search in Bengaluru, where she was supposedly hiding, Vedika was captured by the Juhu Police. It is reported that she moved to so many places in and around India to hide. It is also said that she covered most parts of India with this money just to hide, and finally got caught. Authorities said that for hiding this long time, she might have used false documents. Police have confirmed that for this also she might face severe penalties under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Personal Assistant or Purse Assassin?
Experts caution that improper use of financial and personal records can result in identity theft, illicit money transfers, and harm to one’s reputation, particularly when a celebrity like Alia is involved. To ascertain the scope of the purported fraud, investigators are presently going through Vedika’s bank records and other digital traces.
