Ramayana actress Rakul Preet Singh has taken to social media to clarify reports linking her to the recent Income Tax searches. The actress strongly denied the claims being circulated about her and said the reports were published without verifying the facts.
Rakul said, “The search was not pertaining to me,” making it clear that the Income Tax search was not related to her. She also said that she comes from an Armed Forces background and has built her career through hard work.
She further stated that she has been paying her taxes since the age of 20 and denied any involvement in illegal foreign remittances, either personally or on behalf of any production house. She also denied holding any benami property for anyone in India or abroad.
Rakul urged those who published what she called “false, malicious and speculative reports” to retract them and clarify the facts. She added that commercial pressures in the media should not come at the cost of facts, reputation and someone’s livelihood.
With her detailed statement, Rakul has now put her side of the matter on record and sought clarity over the reports surrounding her name.
It’s heartbreaking to see that There’s a growing trend amongst the self styled online reporters & some main stream media journalists to sensationalise the news without verifying facts.
Let’s therefore set the record straight once for all. The IT 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 Foreign 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.
