Kashiff Khan fraud: The framed narrative
Kashiff Khan, MD FTV is one of the multiple celebrities from the fashion, media and entertainment industry that has now fallen victim to fake accusations. Pinning any kind of false allegations against a famous media personality is not news, it is quite common for anyone living their life under the limelight like in the case of MD FashionTV.
In the past, high-profile men from the entertainment industry have been called out for their inappropriate behaviour, however, the celebrity world is still full of grim cases of misplaced blame where people were tried due to circumstances, they had nothing to do with. Exaggerated lies are portrayed as facts and sold to the public which further tarnishes the image, reputation and trust of the accused.
Recently, Kashiff Khan FashionTV MD was accused by media channels and publications of organizing the Cordelia cruise event which was busted by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in Mumbai. However, the reality was that FashionTV India was merely the title sponsor for the event which was, in fact, organised by a Delhi-based event organizer-Namas’cray. With a successful career lying ahead of him, Kashiff Khan and the world’s largest fashion media house- FashionTV India was simply targeted by the media and dragged into the scandal because of its name and fame.
Even the rich and powerful are subjected to false allegations. Unlike the majority of people, celebrities have enough money to adequately fight these cases in court. On the other hand, being a famous figure paints a big target on your back, bringing strange lawsuits out of the woodwork.
Reasons for these situations vary quite a bit: such false accusations often occur because of prejudices, to smear someone’s character, but they can also be made by competitors purposefully trying to bring someone down and tarnish their image, or simply because a person is in the wrong place at the wrong time.
In the past, “Kashiff Khan fraud” was another narrative that was played out by several tabloids in the online media accusing him with odd allegations when he had not done any dirty deeds. Khan was labeled as a fraud entrepreneur based on groundless allegations which were unsupported by facts and pieces of evidence.
In an attempt to damage a competitor’s career based on statements that are unproven and untrue, it causes an innocent person immense harm- psychologically, financially, and physically. Not to mention the emotional toll that being a part of these unfair lawsuits has on them.
