TV Actress Kashish Kapoor Robbed by Her Own Domestic Help: ₹4.5 Lakh Stolen in a Shocking Theft Case in Mumbai

In yet another alarming incident of celebrity-targeted theft in Mumbai, television actress and former Bigg Boss 18 contestant Kashish Kapoor has become the latest victim of a shocking robbery. The accused? Her own domestic help, who had been working in her home for the past five months.

According to official reports, the domestic worker fled with ₹4.5 lakh in cash, part of which he stole over time and part during his dramatic escape. The theft occurred in the actress’s residence located in New Ambawadi Society on Veera Desai Road, Azad Nagar—an upscale area in Mumbai’s Andheri suburb.

This incident is one in a growing list of robberies targeting celebrities and affluent individuals in India’s entertainment capital.

A Trusted Worker Turns Thief

The accused, identified as Sachin Kumar, had been employed in Kashish Kapoor’s household for nearly five months. As per the arrangement, he would arrive daily around 11:30 a.m. and finish his chores by 1:00 p.m., after which he would leave the premises.

Kashish had kept ₹7 lakh in cash in one of the drawers of her wardrobe. She had saved this amount partly for personal use and partly to send money to her mother residing in Bihar. However, when she attempted to withdraw some cash for the transfer, she was shocked to find only ₹2.5 lakh remaining. A staggering ₹4.5 lakh was missing.

Despite carefully searching the entire wardrobe and surrounding areas, there was no trace of the stolen cash. Upon confronting her household members, including Sachin, the actress noticed that he appeared visibly nervous and evasive.

Escape with ₹50,000 in Hand

Realizing something was off, Kashish tried to question Sachin further and even asked to check his belongings. However, he refused, growing increasingly anxious. Before she could take any further action, he snatched ₹50,000 in cash and fled the apartment.

Kashish immediately filed a complaint with the Amboli Police Station, who registered a case under relevant sections related to theft and criminal breach of trust.

Since then, a special task force from the Crime Branch, along with local law enforcement, has been deployed to track down the accused, who is currently absconding.

Rising Crime Wave Targeting Celebrities in Mumbai

This theft is not an isolated case. In recent months, Mumbai has witnessed a spike in thefts and burglaries targeting celebrities. Thieves and domestic staff with inside access have increasingly been exploiting the trust placed in them by actors, influencers, and high-profile individuals.

In a similar case, actors Yuvika Chaudhary and Prince Narula recently reported a theft from their home. Even Bollywood’s most iconic couples have not been spared—Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan reported a break-in at their residence. In yet another alarming incident, Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan fell victim to a theft committed by one of her household employees.

Actress Shilpa Shetty also reportedly experienced a similar situation in the past, where a long-term domestic worker was found guilty of stealing valuables.

Security and Privacy at Risk

Incidents like these have raised concerns about the screening and verification process for domestic workers, especially in the homes of celebrities who often travel, attend events, or stay out for long hours.

An insider in the entertainment industry commented:

“In a city like Mumbai, where the industry runs on trust, it’s terrifying to think that someone you see daily, and trust with your home, can rob you. This affects not just your finances but your peace of mind.”

Inside Kashish Kapoor’s Rising Career

Kashish Kapoor, though best known for her appearance in Bigg Boss Season 18, has worked steadily in Hindi television and web series. With her strong screen presence and outspoken nature, she quickly became a fan favorite. Over the past few years, she has maintained a relatively private personal life, though active on social media where she frequently interacts with her fans.

Her journey in the entertainment industry has not been without struggle, and the recent theft comes as both a personal and professional setback, especially at a time when she was preparing for several upcoming projects.

Police Investigation Underway

The Amboli Police are now conducting a thorough investigation. A senior official confirmed:

“We have registered the FIR under Section 381 (theft by servant) of the IPC. A manhunt has been launched to trace the accused Sachin Kumar. We are also scanning CCTV footage of the society and neighboring areas.”

Police are also investigating whether the theft was pre-planned or a result of opportunism. Given that Sachin had been working in the house for months, authorities believe he may have been tracking the movements of the family and the location of the cash for some time.

Impact on Celebrities and Their Mental Health

Incidents like these not only lead to financial loss but also trigger anxiety, fear, and emotional trauma. Celebrities often live under public scrutiny, and when their homes—perceived as safe havens—are violated, it results in a deep breach of trust.

A psychologist based in Mumbai explained:

“For public figures, the idea of safety is already fragile. They’re constantly followed by the media, and now they cannot even trust those within their homes. It can lead to paranoia and emotional distress.”

Safety Measures Being Adopted

In the wake of increasing crimes, several actors and production houses have reportedly started installing advanced home surveillance systems, including biometric locks, AI-enabled cameras, and motion detectors. Background checks of staff are also being more thoroughly conducted through registered security agencies.

Local police have also urged citizens, particularly celebrities, to avoid keeping large amounts of cash at home, and to always use secure lockers for valuables.

Public Reaction and Online Support

Fans and social media users have expressed their shock and sympathy toward Kashish Kapoor following the incident. Many took to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share messages of support and to condemn the rising cases of domestic theft in Mumbai.

A comment read:

“This is so scary! Celebs trust these people with their homes, and this is how it ends?”

Another said:

“Heartbroken for Kashish. No one deserves to be robbed by someone they trusted. Hope she gets justice.”

A Growing Trend That Needs Urgent Attention

Thefts involving domestic help are increasingly becoming a serious threat in urban India. While celebrities are often highlighted due to their fame, common citizens too are vulnerable. The trust between employers and domestic staff is sacred, and when broken, it leaves scars beyond financial loss.

The case of Kashish Kapoor is a grim reminder that even in the most secure neighborhoods, vigilance must be constant. As Mumbai continues to expand as the city of dreams, it must also evolve in terms of safety and accountability.

Final Thoughts

Kashish Kapoor’s experience is not just a crime story—it is a wake-up call. It is a reflection of how fragile trust can be, and how celebrities—despite fame and fortune—are just as vulnerable as anyone else. As the city’s law enforcement gears up to catch the culprit, it is hoped that justice will be served and preventive steps will be strengthened.

For now, the entertainment industry watches closely, and the public stands in solidarity with Kashish, hoping she finds not just justice—but also peace.
