Full story of Robin Uthappa….
I would like to clarify on my involvement with Strawberry Lensaria Pvt Ltd, Centaurus Lifestyle Brands Pvt Ltd and Berries Fashion House in the Piff case against me. In 2018-19, I was made the director of these companies because I supported them financially. I did not have an active role in the functioning of the company. Being a professional cricketer, TV presenter and commentator, I did not have time to run these companies.
I had to take legal steps: Uthappa Uthappa wrote- I have no role in those companies. The concerned companies themselves have provided documents confirming my non-involvement. These companies failed to return the money lent to me. In such a situation I had to take legal steps. Which are pending in the court. I have resigned from the post of director many years ago.
