Popular Punjabi actress and model Himanshi Khurana received a terrifying extortion call on Saturday, February 14, 2026.

Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Harmandeep Hans confirmed the threat, stating, “The information had been received and that a First Information Report would be registered”. Cops have ramped up surveillance around Khurana as a safety step and are probing the call’s origin.
