The report further alleges that Saha had shared screenshots that she had preserved of chats with her celebrity clients.
While Jaya was questioned earlier this week, Karishma appeared before the agency on Friday.
Fellow Bollywood actresses Sara Ali Khan and Shraddha Kapoor have also been summoned for interrogation on Saturday.
