Not accepting his love being rejected, Kawshigan sent a threatening letter that he will sue Tan for emotional trauma and "possible defamation of character". The threat turned out to be serious, as Kawshigan decided to undergo counseling after his unrequited love. However, the efforts to heal his wounded heart did not go as expected.

On July 7th of last year, Mr. Kawshigan filed a lawsuit with the High Court against his lover, claiming that due to negligence and certain statements from his lover, he suffered emotional trauma resulting in expenses for rehabilitation and therapy programs, as well as losses in income capacity and business partnership.
