However, the couple's lawyer Master David Honorat was quoted in the report as saying that by not paying rent, they wanted to "show their annoyance" after Mallika and her boyfriend were tear-gassed and beaten up by three masked intruders outside her Paris apartment last year in November.
The 350-sq-m apartment in question is reportedly located in the French capital's wealthy 16th Arrondissement. In the report, the landlord's lawyer Olivier Mayrand was quoted as saying that as of November 14, 2017, the couple owed his client €78,786.73.
"Ms Sherawat would have been the best-paid actress in 2016. We are talking about €46 million of income and a fortune of €140 million. We are far from the tenant in difficulty," he added.
However, the couple's lawyer stated that they were facing temporary financial difficulties.
