“Saahil Khan threatened Ayesha Shroff about Tiger’s career,” a family friend reveals all

Going by what sources close to Jackie and Ayesha Shroff have to say, male starlet and Page 3 wannabe Saahil Khan's problems with the law are not going to go away easily.

Sources close to the Shroffs say Jackie who has remained a silent spectator to the murky allegations and insinuations regarding his wife but has taken very strong offence to what he sees as an attack on the sanctity of his family life.

"Jackie has asked his wife to keep silent. But he has got the proper channels on the job to take care of Saahil Khan's allegations. When it comes to his family, Jackie is fiercely protective. He will go to any lengths to safeguard his loved ones," says a family friend.

Initially, Ayesha Shroff had decided to let the law take its course regarding the money that Saahil allegedly owes her. However, she swung into action and filed a fresh FIR when her son's career was threatened.

The family friend reveals, "Ayesha received the first threatening message from Saahil's own phone. It said she had better withdraw her financial claims on him as he had nothing to lose while she had everything to lose. It was the second message from an unknown number that galvanized Ayesha into action. It warned Ayesha to settle the monetary differences with Saahil Khan, or else no one will go to watch her son Tiger's films because of her. A third message came saying Saahil Khan had promoted Tiger extensively on Facebook and all the people who supported Tiger's film because of Saahil's recommendation on Facebook would boycott him."

According to Shroffs' friend, Ayesha and Jackie have decided take Saahil Khan's allegation to their logical conclusion.

"In another message Saahil accused Ayesha of filing false charges. She wants to know how the charges can be false when he has gone to the media to talk rubbish about she and her family? Basically Ayesha kept mum as she only wanted back the money that Saahil Khan had taken and misappropriated. But Saahil chose to talk trash about Ayesha to avoid paying. Ayesha considers Saahil and his sister con-persons. Now after Ayesha's expose many other parties who have allegedly been cheated are expected to come forward," the source reveals.

Says the family friend, "Ayesha was completely taken in by Saahil and his sister. She invested in partnership ventures with them. When she realized her money was being misused she had decided to quietly take legal recourse to get her money back. When Saahil threatened to harm Tiger's career Ayesha decided to file a second FIR against Saahil."

According to the friend Jackie and the family are firmly behind Ayesha.

"Tiger told his mom, 'Let me my career suffer if it has to. No one can take away what is mine. Your dignity is more important than my career'," says the friend.
