Leena Kapoor

Leena Kapoor is an Indian model and actress known for her works in Hindi cinema and Malayalam television. Born and raised in Delhi, she began her career as a model before transitioning into acting. Before her debut in films, Kapoor appeared in more than fifty Punjabi music videos, television commercials, and the Channel V series Love Net – Season 2. The following year, she appeared in the mystery thriller Wajah Tum Ho, directed by Vishal Pandya, playing a supporting role alongside an ensemble cast that included Sharman Joshi, Gurmeet Choudhary, and Sana Khan.

Controversy In August 2012, Kapoor (then aged 21) filed a written complaint with the Versova police in Mumbai, accusing Pakistani ICC elite panel cricket umpire Asad Rauf of sexually exploiting her over several months under false promises of marriage. Kapoor alleged that the relationship began after meeting Rauf in Sri Lanka in March 2012, where he assured her of marriage despite disclosing his existing marriage and two children, claiming his religion permitted polygamy. He characterised the accusations as an attempt by Kapoor to gain publicity.

Following the filing of the complaint, Kapoor reported receiving threatening phone calls from unknown numbers in Mumbai and Delhi, urging her to withdraw the case and warning of harm to her and her family. In May 2013, the ICC withdrew Rauf from the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy officiating panel.
