Saurav Gurjar Faces Complaint Over Alleged False Marriage Promise, Sent to Judicial Custody

Saurav Gurjar faces legal action after woman's complaint

Actor and professional wrestler Saurav Gurjar, known for playing Bhim in Mahabharat and for his appearance in Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, has been detained following a complaint by a 29-year-old woman who has alleged that he deceived and harassed her after promising to marry her.

According to reports citing the complaint and police proceedings, Gurjar was detained by Gachibowli police at Mumbai Airport on September 20, 2026. He was subsequently produced before a magistrate and sent to 14 days of judicial custody. The allegations are under investigation, and they should not be treated as established facts unless proved through due legal process.

What does the woman allege?

The woman, described in reports as being based in the United States, allegedly met Gurjar through Instagram in 2021. According to the complaint as reported by multiple outlets, the two subsequently entered into a relationship.

She has alleged that Gurjar promised to marry her and persuaded her to leave her job in the United States to pursue a business venture with him.

The complaint further alleges that the two lived together at different points in the United States and India. The woman claims that Gurjar later distanced himself when she raised the issue of marriage and that the situation affected her personal and professional life.

These are allegations contained in the complaint. There has been no finding of guilt against Gurjar in the information currently available.

Police action and judicial custody

The case moved beyond a complaint after Gachibowli police detained Gurjar at Mumbai Airport.

He was then produced before a magistrate, who ordered 14 days of judicial custody, according to reports on the proceedings.

The legal process is now expected to determine the facts surrounding the woman's allegations. At this stage, the available reports do not establish the final outcome of the case.

Who is Saurav Gurjar?

Saurav Gurjar has worked across television, films and professional wrestling.

He became widely recognised on television for portraying Bhim in the 2013 television series Mahabharat. He subsequently appeared in other television projects before making his Hindi-film debut in Ayan Mukerji's Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva, which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna and Mouni Roy.

Gurjar also pursued professional wrestling and was associated with WWE, performing under the ring name Sanga. His combination of a large athletic build and acting experience made him a recognisable figure across both entertainment and wrestling audiences.

What happens next in the case?

The immediate focus will be on the police investigation and the judicial process.

The woman's allegations concern an alleged relationship, a purported promise of marriage and subsequent conduct that she describes as deceptive and harassing. Gurjar's legal position and any response from his representatives will be important as the case progresses.

For now, the allegations remain allegations. A complaint, detention or judicial remand does not itself establish criminal guilt.

The Celebrity Hour Take

The case is significant because it involves a public figure and allegations concerning a personal relationship that have now entered the criminal-justice process.

However, the distinction between an allegation and a proven offence is particularly important in reporting a case at this early stage. The woman's account forms the basis of the complaint, while the investigation and subsequent legal proceedings will determine what can ultimately be established.

The Celebrity Hour will therefore follow the case on the basis of verified developments rather than speculation, social-media claims or assumptions about either party.

Sources & Verification

This report was prepared by cross-checking the latest available reports concerning the complaint, Gurjar's detention at Mumbai Airport and the subsequent judicial-remand order. The reported details of the woman's allegations have been attributed to the complaint rather than presented as established facts. Multiple reports also independently describe the police action and 14-day judicial custody.

The Celebrity Hour has not independently determined the truth of the allegations. Gurjar should be presumed innocent unless and until guilt is established through due legal process.
