Actress Preity Zinta, of ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Koi Mil Gaya’, ‘Lakshya’, ‘Veer-Zaara’ fame, has hit back at Indian National Congress’ Kerala unit accusing them of cooking lies and putting them out in the public domain.

She wrote, “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 or their representative is promoting fake news & indulging in vile gossip & click baits using my name & images”. She further mentioned, “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 (sic)”.
