Bollywood actress Preity Zinta recently found herself at the center of a political controversy when the Congress party accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of assisting her in having an 18 crore loan waived off by the New India Cooperative Bank.
The Kerala Congress’s official X account also claimed that her social media accounts were being handled by the BJP. In response to these allegations, Preity Zinta swiftly gave a strong rebuttal, clarifying the situation.
During this controversy, one of her fans raised the question of whether she would file a defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Preity, in her typically neutral manner, responded by saying that it would not be fair to blame someone like Rahul Gandhi for the actions of others.
She further emphasized that she believes in handling problems and issues directly, rather than through proxies. She also mentioned that she had no issues with Rahul Gandhi and wished him peace, saying she would live in peace as well.
To further clear the air, Preity Zinta responded to claims made by the Kerala Congress’s official X account, which alleged that she had handed over her social media accounts to the BJP in exchange for the 8 crore loan waiver.
Preity firmly denied these claims, stating that she manages her social media accounts herself. She also clarified that the loan had been taken and fully repaid over the course of ten years. She expressed hope that her clarification would help eliminate any misunderstandings in the future.
On the professional front, Preity Zinta is set to make her return to the screen with the historical drama Lahore 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan Productions. The film will also star Sunny Deol and his son Karan Deol.
Meanwhile, the question of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan’s retirement has been a hot topic recently after he posted a tweet that read, “Time to go.” Fans immediately speculated whether the tweet signaled his retirement from acting and his popular quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). Following this, there was a flurry of questions directed at Big B both online and during a live audience interaction at the KBC set.
Amitabh Bachchan addressed the speculation by explaining that the tweet was simply a reflection of his tiredness after a long work schedule. He clarified that the tweet was written late at night and that he had dozed off before finishing it. He further mentioned that his hectic work schedule often led him to leave sets at odd hours, and by the time he reaches home, it’s already late, which may have contributed to his drowsiness while posting the tweet.
On the work front, Amitabh Bachchan is currently involved in multiple projects, including the much-awaited film Section 84, directed and written by Ribhu Das Gupta. He is also gearing up for the second installment of the blockbuster The Kalki 2898 AD, which promises to be another major milestone in his illustrious career.
