Telly couple Kunal Verma and Puja Banerjee have indeed opened up about a devastating financial scam that has cost them their entire life savings. They shared their emotional ordeal in a candid vlog on their YouTube channel, stating, “We have to start from zero, and we won’t give up.”
Here are the key details of the unfortunate incident:
The Scam: The couple revealed that they fell victim to a fraudulent financial scheme that wiped out all their savings. While they haven’t explicitly named the individual, they confirmed that they were cheated by someone they had known and trusted deeply for about three years – someone who had become like family to them.
Emotional and Financial Toll: Puja Banerjee, visibly emotional in the vlog, stated that the past two to three months have been “extremely difficult” for them. The financial blow has been so severe that they have even had to mortgage their home to manage funds. They admitted to being in “deep shock” and struggling to come to terms with the fact that they may never recover the lost money. Kunal also expressed how deeply affected he has been by the betrayal.
Motivation to Share: The couple decided to go public with their ordeal after fans expressed concern over a recent Eid Instagram post by Puja, which hinted at their financial difficulties. They felt it was important to share their struggle with their audience, whom they consider family.
Resilience and Determination: Despite the immense setback, Kunal and Puja are determined to bounce back. Puja’s statement, “Zero par laakar khada kar diya hai par hum zero se waapis shuru karenge. (We have been brought back to zero, but we will start from zero again. We won’t give up),” reflects their strong resolve. They are asking for prayers and support from their well-wishers as they embark on this challenging journey of rebuilding their lives and careers.
Advice for Others: The incident serves as a stark reminder of the risks of financial scams, even from trusted individuals. Experts advise vigilance, caution against schemes that seem too good to be true, and the importance of verifying details before investing money.
