Veteran Tamil actress Radha has launched a police complaint accusing her sister, actress Ambika, and their brother, Mallikarjuna Kunjan Nair, of improperly using blank cheques from Radha's Chennai residence. The complaint alleges that five cheques, totaling Rs50.8 crore, were presented in Ambika's name without Radha's consent. Radha claimed she kept the signed blank cheques for routine expenses such as salaries, bills, taxes and garden maintenance when she traveled.
The complaint also ties into an ongoing family dispute involving property. Radha sought a police investigation and potential criminal charges if her allegations are proven. Ambika has refuted Radha's claims, stating the cheques were part of a family settlement, but the police investigation will determine the truth. Radha and Ambika were prominent actresses in Tamil cinema during the 1980s, with a history of acting alongside major stars like Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan.
