Referring to the case, Nancy said "Asif Akbar is my peer. I didn't want to file a case against him, but I was forced to do so as he has been maligning me for quite a while now. I have been humiliated by my family, which is why I had no other recourse but to file the case."
She said she had sung 12 duets with Asif, all of which were published by Asif's own production company, ARB. I received Tk2 lakh in signing fees as royalty.
"I am due receive 25 percent royalty as per the terms of the agreement, but Asif has still not paid up. He offered me a new album instead, to which I didn't agree. Ever since then, Asif has publicly maligned me, accusing me of being mentally unbalanced. This is offensive and unacceptable", she said.
Nancy claimed that Asif had discussed her on YouTube, news media, and television shows. Such behavior is unbecoming from a senior artist of his stature.
"I have left the entire matter to the court to decide, and I have no further comment to make in this regard," she added.
