The actor
preity zinta called the rumors about her loan being forgiven by a
bank in exchange for
bjp favors "vile gossip" on social media. Preity Zinta criticized the
kerala Congress for disseminating "fake news" in a post on X, claiming that the money in question was "fully paid back" ten years ago.
Preity Zinta was reacting to a message from the
kerala Congress account, which claimed that Zinta had donated "her
social media accounts to
bjp and got 18 Cr written off" from the New
india Co-operative bank. The
kerala Congress said that "Depositors are on the streets for their money," alluding to the RBI's new limits on withdrawals from the New
india Co-operative Bank.
In a sharply worded comment,
preity zinta responded to the post by saying, "No, I manage my
social media accounts myself, and shame on you for spreading FAKE NEWS! I didn't have any loans or anything written off. I'm appalled that a political
party or its representative is exploiting my name and photographs to spread false information, engage in disgusting rumors, and create clickbait. For the record, more than ten years ago, a loan was taken out and paid back in full. I hope this helps to clear things out and prevent future misconceptions.

bank to take action.
