Bigg Boss 18 fame Kashish Kapoor gets accused of ‘scamming a business’; designer reveals ‘outfit worth Rs 85,000 was returned in poor condition’

Bigg Boss 18 contestant Kashish Kapoor is making headlines for allegedly ‘scamming’ a designer. She reportedly damaged a couture gown worth Rs 85,000 and did not return the money.

Designer Smita Shrinivas claimed that the gown was returned in poor condition — wet, dusty, crumpled, and unusable. She shared a series of pictures of the gown and screenshots of chats with her team revealing details about the incident.The designer shared evidence, claiming that initially, a Rs 40,000 settlement was agreed upon. However, her team didn’t revert thereafter or initiate the payment. Netizens have now bashed Kashish for the same and asked her to respond to the incident.

The designer shared videos and photos of the green gown and mentioned how it was returned in poor condition.“KASHISH KAPOOR kashishkapoor302 SCAMMED ME OF ₹85,000. This isn’t just about one green couture gown. It’s about how small designers get exploited in the name of ‘collaboration’ and ‘exposure’. Dot Media Agency @dotmediabase took my gown for influencer Kashish. I shared exact size details (S), but she needed XS — they took it anyway.

The gown came back destroyed — wet, dusty, crumpled, stuffed inside-out. This was an ₹85k couture piece, weeks of artisan work.

Once in that state, it’s unsellable and can’t be reused,” wrote the designer.She further wrote, “I asked for compensation or for them to buy it. We settled on ₹40k (less than half its value) to end it peacefully. Then came weeks of excuses — ‘Will transfer tomorrow’, ‘Bank issue’, ‘I’m traveling’. Finally, Kashish blocked me. When I contacted the agency again, they said my ‘compensation’ could be a social media shoutout — as if that replaces the loss of a couture piece.”Kashish recently also made headlines after Rs 7 lakh was stolen from her house. She allegedly accused her cook of doing the same. On the work front, Kashish is best known for her participation in Bigg Boss 18.
