Legal notice issued to Karan Johar

Iqbal Channa, a Punjabi film producer, and father of six year old child artist Ahsaas Channa has sent a legal notice to Karan Johar. The reason being that Johar has taken his daughter to New York, for the shooting of Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, without his permission. Channa separated from his wife Kulbir Kaur Badesron and child more than a year ago. He filed a petition in the Mumbai family court to stop his wife from taking the child out of the country. The court passed an order which restrained Kulbir from taking her daughter out of India till the final disposal of the application. Unfortunately for Iqbal, the order came a day too late as they had already left for the States.

Channa accuses his wife of turning their daughter into a "money-making" machine. Further, he feels that the daughter's education is being neglected. Ahsaas is the same child who played Sushmita Sen's son in Vaastu Shashtra and has also appeared in a number of commercials. What scares the father the most is that his daughter has started behaving like a boy, keeping in with her on-screen image. According to Johar's advocate, Shyam Keshwani, it was a matrimonial dispute and neither Johar nor Dharma Productions can be held responsible.
