Shetty's company sued for unpaid bills

Bollywood actress Shilp Shetty's management firm has been hit with legal trouble after her company failed to pay off debts worth £12,600 (€19,000).

Shetty's Cine Entertainment owes London law firm Carter Ruck £9,365 (€14,000) for legal advice and guidance given to her in the aftermath of the British Celebrity Big Brother race scandal earlier this year, while security company CTR Services also claims to be owed £3,000 (€4,485) in unpaid bills.

The Phir Milenge star's agent, Farnath Hussain, told UK newspaper The Sun he was "in the process" of paying off the debts.

The news comes as the Indian actress has reportedly been dropped from PR guru Max Clifford's client list after a series of clashes with his employees.

Shetty was caught up in controversy earlier this year on reality TV show Celebrity Big Brother, when she was the target of alleged racist bullying by housemates Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara.
