Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has hit back at Congress for alleging that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) helped her get an ₹18 crore loan waived off from New India Cooperative Bank. The actress categorically denied the claims, asserting that she repaid the loan in full over a decade ago.

On Monday, the official X (formerly Twitter) account of Kerala Congress posted: “She gave her social media accounts to BJP and got ₹18 Cr written off. The bank collapsed last week. Depositors are on the streets for their money.” Reacting sharply to the post on Tuesday (February 25), Preity Zinta called out the political party for spreading misinformation.

“No, I operate my social media accounts myself, and shame on you for promoting FAKE NEWS! No one wrote off any loan for me. I’m shocked that a political party is indulging in vile gossip and clickbaits using my name & images,” she wrote. She further clarified that the loan was taken over 12 years ago and was fully paid back 10 years ago.

Through her legal team, Preity released a statement saying, “More than 12 years ago, I had an overdraft facility with the New India Cooperative Bank. More than 10 years ago, I repaid in full the entire dues in respect of this overdraft facility, and the account stands closed.”

Recently, Preity has been active on social media, engaging with followers and sharing her experiences. A few days ago, she described her interaction with AI chatbot Grok3 on X as both “scary and fascinating.” Her post sparked speculation, with some assuming it was a paid promotion. Addressing the skepticism, the actress questioned the growing cynicism on social media, stating, “If one talks about their first chat with an AI bot, people presume it’s a paid promotion. If you appreciate your PM, you are a ‘bhakt.’ If you are a proud Hindu or Indian, then you are labeled ‘Andh Bhakt’.”
