On the Congress claim, a person asked, "When are you putting a defamation case on Rahul Gandhi ?"

Preity replied, "I don't think it's fair to vilify anyone like that, as he is not responsible for someone else's actions. I believe in handling problems or issues directly & not through proxy battles. I also have no problem with Rahul Gandhi, so let him live in peace & I will live in peace too (grinning face emoji)."

For the context, the Kerala unit of Congress had posted a news article with a caption that Zinta gave her social media accounts to BJP to get a ₹18 crore write-off and depositors are on the streets now that the bank has collapsed. A furious Zinta hit back with a counter post on Tuesday morning, slamming the political party for spreading fake news.
