Preity Zinta SLAMS Congress for false claims about BJP and 18 crore loan

Bollywood actress Priety Zinta has been making headlines in the controversy surrounding a statement made by the Kerala unit of the Congress party; they alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been managing the actress's social media handles and facilitated the waiving of her ₹18 crore loan from the New India Cooperative Bank. The Congress party's official page on X (formerly Twitter) claimed that the actress exchanged her social media handles to escape the loan, and the bank's depositors are left in distress.
