'Indian Matchmaking' fame Pradhyuman Maloo who was one of Sima Taparia’s popular clients in the Netflix show, got hitched to an actor-model, Ashima Chauhaan in 2022. The Mumbai-based entrepreneur has now been accused of domestic violence as his wife has filed a complaint against him. During the show, Pradhyuman claimed that he rejected 150 marriage proposals due to his high expectations about the girl he would marry. The latter soon became the talk of the town, and thus appeared in both seasons of the show.
According to a report in the Hindustan Times, Mumbai Police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) against Pradhyuman and his family for the alleged domestic violence against Ashima. As per the FIR filed, Ashima left her home in September 2022 and had to endure emotional and physical abuse by Pradhyuman and his family. She also stated that Pradhyuman’s family allegedly subjected her to blackmail and then started other forms of harassment.
According to the report of Hindustan Times, advocate Anmol Bartaria, who represents Ashima said, “The allegations in the FIR lodged are grave and concerning with domestic violence and constant mental and physical abuse at its core. The matter is in the investigative stage and should be carried in full swing. Ashima is in the process of taking appropriate legal proceedings against the accused in accordance with the law.”
