No, Preity Zinta didn't get her ₹18 crore loan written-off

What's the story

Bollywood actor Preity Zinta has strongly refuted allegations of a ₹18 crore loan write-off in her name by the financially troubled New India Cooperative Bank Ltd.

The controversy erupted after a Moneylife report exposed the bank's rampant financial mismanagement, including unauthorized corporate loans becoming non-performing assets (NPAs).

One such case, highlighted in the report, was an alleged ₹18cr loan in Zinta's name.

Legal clarification

Zinta clarified loan repayment through legal team

Zinta, through her legal team, clarified that she had availed an overdraft facility from New India Cooperative Bank over 12 years ago and fully repaid the amount more than a decade ago.

"More than 12 years ago, I had an overdraft facility with the New India Cooperative Bank. More than 10 years ago, I repaid in full the entire dues in respect of this overdraft facility," she stated.

On Monday, the X handle of Kerala Congress shared a news article about Zinta's alleged loan and wrote, "She gave her social media accounts to BJP and got ₹18cr written off and the bank collapsed last week..."

Zinta took to X to slam the allegations. 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."
