Preity Zinta lashes out on journalists for false reports

Preity Zinta lashes out on journalists for false reports

Preity Zinta has made a name for herself for her looks and acting abilities. Kal Ho Naa Ho, Dil Se, Veer Zaara are several of her classical hits. Now, the actress has been looking for a good comeback on big screens. Suddenly, her name appeared in a bank scam where a loan worth Rs.18 crores has been written off. 


She responded on X, stating that she did not join BJP and no one wrote off her loan. She clarified that she fully paid the loan and never took any kind of favors from any political party. She wrote, "I operate my social media accounts my self and shame on you for promoting FAKE NEWS ! No one wrote off anything or any loan for me. I’m shocked that a political party or their representative is promoting fake news & indulging in vile gossip & click baits using my name & images. For the record a loan was taken and FULLY PAID BACK - over 10 years ago. Hope this clarifies and helps so there are no misunderstandings in the future." 


Preity Zinta, then continued spit fire on journalist Sucheta Dalal who works for Moneylife India and stated that without fact checking no one should report misinformation. She wrote, "So much misinformation going around but thank god for social media and thank god for X ! All through my career I have seen so many so respected journalists get so many stories completely wrong & never have the decency to correct the story or apologise. I have also gone to court and spent a tonne of money fighting cases that go on & on & on. I think it’s time we start holding them responsible right here so there is some accountability in the future."


After stating that she fought lots of court cases, she named the journalist directly and requested to cross check before posting anything. She further wrote, "I’m definitely going to start naming all these journalists that write articles without following up or investigating the stories. If you don’t value my reputation then sorry I don’t value yours @suchetadalal. Next time pls call me and find out if the story is true or not before mentioning my name. Just like you,  I have spent years working hard and building a reputation so if you don’t care about mine I don’t care about yours. I’m done being a bigger person. This ends here." 


Well, the actress who is known for her smile and positivity on cricket field, even when her IPL franchise Punjab Kings losses year after year, seems to have seriously been upset with this matter.
