It’s not news that Bollywood has ties with the underworld. Rich industries such as the film-making industry, tend to get a call from mafias. They make deals and create a business to earn profit. A common example relating to film industries is when the mafia finances the film, while the industry pays them hafta. Hafta is protection money paid to gangsters.
In the case of Dawood Ibrahim, the most well-known case is that of Anita Ayub. She was a beauty pageant contestant and was very close to the underworld. When Javed Siddique denied casting her in a movie in 1995, he was found dead, shot by one of Dawood’s men. Other cases include Mandakini, who has allegedly been in an affair with the don of D-Company, which influenced her casting in films.
