Actress Rakul Preet Singh has issued a formal statement days after reports regarding the Income Tax search operations at their home and office came out.
In light of reports circulating across digital and mainstream media channels, the actress has released an official statement to clarify the details.
Rakul Preet Singh issued the following statement: “It’s heartbreaking to see that There’s a growing trend amongst the self styled online reporters and some main stream media journalists to sensationalise the news without verifying facts .
Let’s therefore set the record straight once for all. The search was not pertaining to me . Let it be known that I am from the Armed Forces background & had no Godfather in the Industry. I have come up through sheer hardwork & 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 Foriegn remittance in 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 ANYONE has EVER gifted me any property at anytime 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 facts. And certainly not at the cost of someone’s reputation and livelihood.”
