- In December 2022, Sana filed a lawsuit against director Hansal Mehta for making a web series about the 2003 scam involving her family. In an interview, she claimed that the series was based on a book with factual inaccuracies, which violated her family’s right to privacy, dignity, and self-respect; however, the production company later argued that information about the family and the scam was already in the public domain as a result of which the right to privacy no longer applied. The Mumbai court, on the other hand, rejected Sana’s request to stop the release of the web series in the same year.
- In 2023, a biographical financial thriller series titled ‘Scam 2003: The Telgi Story’ was released on SonyLIV.
