After the conversation went viral on social media, Sharma filed a police complaint against Vicky Lalwani, along with his ex-managers Preeti Simoes and Neeti Simoes, for trying to extort INR 25 lakhs from him as well as alleging in a police complaint that both sisters used to take money from the people who arrived in Film City, Mumbai to see his show and Preeti-Neeti manufactured miss understandings between him and his fellow comedians of his show and arriving guests.
