Preity Zinta decides against suing Rahul Gandhi

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has decided against filing a defamation case against politician Rahul Gandhi, despite being accused of getting loan written off from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Earlier, Indian National Congress accused the former actor of giving control of her social media accounts to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and getting her INR18 crore loan written off.

She made the announcement during a Q&A on X.

“When are you putting a defamation case on Rahul Gandhi?” a fan asked her on the social site.

She responded: “I don’t think it’s fair to vilify anyone like that, as he is not responsible for someone else’s actions.”

“I believe in handling problems or issues directly & not through proxy battles. I also have no problem with Rahul Gandhi, so let him live in peace & I will live in peace too,” she added.

During the same session Preity Zinta was asked if she has plan to step into politics in near future.

“No! No politics for me. Over the years, various political parties have offered me tickets & Rajya Sabha seats but I have politely declined as it’s not what I want,” she responded.

Moreover, the actor also clarified that she operates her social media accounts herself.

“No, I operate my social media accounts myself and shame on you for promoting FAKE NEWS! No one wrote off anything or any loan for me,” she clarified.

“I’m shocked that a political party (Congress Kerala) or their representative is promoting fake news & indulging in vile gossip & click baits using my name & images,” she added.
