Mumbai: Bollywood actress Preity Zinta and the Kerala Congress found themselves locked in a heated exchange on social media after the party alleged that she had an ₹18 crore loan written off and had handed over her social media accounts to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

Zinta, known for her outspoken nature, lashed out at the allegations, dismissing them as “fake news” and criticizing both the political party and media for spreading misinformation.

“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. I’m shocked that a political party is indulging in vile gossip and clickbait using my name,” the Veer Zaara actress wrote on X.

Kerala Congress Responds, Seeks “Proof”

Not backing down, the Kerala Congress responded by asking Zinta to provide “proof” to substantiate her claims.

“Good to know you’re managing your own account, unlike other celebs who have handed theirs over to the notorious IT cell. Thanks for the clarification regarding your loan position. We are glad to accept mistakes if we have made any. We shared the news as reported by media outlets,” the party wrote on X.

Zinta further clarified that while she had taken a loan, it was “fully paid back” over a decade ago.
