Chandrachur Singh, who was seen sharing screens with actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai in Josh, has made headlines due to an alleged legal battle involving his ancestral property. The actor, who was also seen with Sushmita Sen in the highly acclaimed series Aarya, was recently seen in Aligarh in connection with a dispute regarding his family haveli and related assets.
The actor has alleged that his own family members tried to illegally take possession of the ancestral assets. Notably, Chandrachur's brother, Abhimanyu Singh, is a film producer. The Josh actor stated that he spent his childhood in Aligarh, where his entire family lived together at the time. However, following his uncle's death, he claims that a conspiracy is now being plotted to sell off their ancestral haveli.

Accordingly, the actor has requested official action to prevent illegal encroachment.
