Rakul Preet Singh has broken her silence after being named in reports about Income Tax searches. On Monday, the actress took to her social media to clarify that she has no involvement in the matter.
She wrote, “It’s heartbreaking to see that there’s a growing trend amongst the self-styled online reporters and some mainstream media journalists to sensationalise the news without verifying facts. Let’s therefore set the record straight once and for all. The search was not pertaining to me. Let it be known that I am from the Armed Forces background and had no Godfather in the Industry. I have come up through sheer hard work and, as a responsible, law-abiding citizen have been paying my due taxes since the age of 20 years.”
“I am not involved in any kind of illegal Foreign remittance in a personal capacity or on behalf of any Production house. I would also add here that I do not hold any Benami property on behalf of anyone anywhere in the country or abroad. Neither has ANYONE ever gifted me any property at any time, nor do I accept such expensive gifts as a principle.”
I urge all those who published these false, malicious and speculative reports to retract them and clarify the facts.
I understand that everyone running a media business, however big, has their own commercial pressures. But it cannot come at the cost of the facts. And certainly not at the cost of someone’s reputation and livelihood.
