Former Mr. India contest winner Manoj Patil allegedly tried to attempt suicide by consuming sleeping pills at his residence in suburban Oshiwara in the wee hours on Thursday, police said. Patil, 29, a “self-made” athlete and a model, had a few days back submitted a letter to the Oshiwara police, demanding action against a Bollywood actor, who was identified as Sahil Khan as per multiple media reports, for allegedly defaming him on social media and creating problems in his professional life.
On Thursday, Sahil Khan held a press conference to reveal his side of the story. While talking to the media, the actor claimed that the case has nothing to do with him and the whole thing is between Manoj Patil and a person named Raj Faujdar. Sahil said, “Our lawyers are working on the situation now and we will file a complaint. This is a big racket. Those who are manufacturing fake supplements should be punished. And if I have committed a crime, then I should get punished too.” Sahil further added, “I don’t have anything against those who are supporting Manoj Patil. You are supporting him because your business/racket of steroids is going on.”
This comes after the Bombay High Court quashed two FIRs registered in Mumbai against Sahil Khan in 2015 on a complaint filed by Ayesha Shroff, the wife of veteran Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff, over allegations of cheating and criminal intimidation. Khan began his career with a music video of Stereo Nation Nachange Sari Raat. He became a household name with his lead role in the 2001 comedy Style, which was a huge box office success. He then went on to appear in Xcuse Me, which was a sequel to Style. Xcuse Me, also starring Sharman Joshi, was a moderate success at the box office. Khan also starred in Aladin and Ramaa: The Saviour, a jungle thriller.
