Mahabharat actor Saurav Gurjar found himself in judicial custody after a woman lodged a complaint in Mumbai alleging deception and harassment. According to the complaint, Gurjar met the woman through Instagram in 2021, and their interactions grew through WhatsApp. She stated that he promised to marry her and provide her with marital rights.
The woman further alleged that they cohabited while she was in the United States and subsequently returned to India. Gurjar allegedly persuaded her to abandon her job in the US by promising a joint business venture. The woman recounted that Gurjar's behavior made it impossible for her to concentrate on her career. Whenever she inquired about marriage, he allegedly blocked her phone number and refrained from her.
The report further noted that Gurjar resided with her from October 2025 to March 2026, but suddenly vanished without informing her.
Subsequently, Gachibowli police registered a case and launched an investigation. Gurjar was detained at Mumbai airport and transported to Hyderabad for legal proceedings. He has since been placed in judicial custody. The allegations are awaiting court evaluation. Gurjar's acting career commenced on television in 2013 with his debut on Star Plus's Mahabharat, where he portrayed Bhim.
He later participated in Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman between 2016 and 2017, playing Ravan and Bali. Gurjar made his cinematic debut with Brahmastra in 2022.
