Actor Nadeem Khan, who appeared in the blockbuster film Dhurandhar, has been arrested for allegedly raping a domestic worker over nearly ten years under the false promise of marriage.
The 41-year-old woman filed a complaint claiming that Khan repeatedly assaulted her during this period, prompting authorities to take action. Khan was taken into police custody on January 22 and remains detained, according to official sources.
Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, was a major success at the box office, drawing widespread attention for its thrilling plot and high-octane action sequences.
Khan’s role in the film brought him into the spotlight, and following news of his arrest, interest in his work has surged. Fans and media outlets are revisiting his career, including his performance in the spy thriller, to understand more about the actor’s professional history.
Reports say the complainant alleged that Khan had promised marriage but later refused, leading her to approach the police. Indian media reports also noted that the woman had previously worked in the households of other actors.
The case has reignited debates about accountability and workplace abuse within the entertainment industry, with Nadeem Khan’s recent high-profile work in Dhurandhar intensifying public scrutiny.
