The issue was triggered when Zubair Khan, a contestant Bigg Boss 11, complained that the actor had insulted him on the reality show. After Zubair approached Bandra-based activist Shabnam Shaikh for help, Shera allegedly threatened to send 10 men to gang-rape her if she did not settle the matter quietly.

He said, "There are techniques to identify the voice of a person; forensic tests will show whether the voice on the call matches my voice samples. The number mentioned in the complaint is not mine, and I have never interacted with the complainant. The allegations made against me are false, let the police investigate."
