Rakul Preet Singh Breaks Silence on IT Raid Reports: ‘I Do Not Hold Any Benami Property…’

Rakul Preet Singh has broken her silence after days of reports linking her name to alleged Income Tax Department searches, issuing a strongly worded statement in which she denied financial wrongdoing and criticised sections of the media for publishing what she described as unverified claims.

Reports had recently claimed that searches were conducted at multiple locations allegedly connected to the actor and her father-in-law, film producer Vashu Bhagnani, over suspected financial irregularities. Rakul, however, has now said that the search in question did not concern her.

‘The Search Was Not Pertaining to Me’

Addressing the reports through a statement shared on Instagram, Rakul stressed her background and said she has consistently complied with her tax obligations.“The search was not pertaining to me.”

The actor said she comes from an Armed Forces background, had no “Godfather” in the film industry and built her career through hard work. She further stated that she has been paying her due taxes since the age of 20.

Her statement comes after several days of speculation surrounding the reported tax searches.

She also categorically denied holding any benami property for another person, whether in India or overseas.“I do not hold any Benami property on behalf of anyone anywhere in the country or abroad.”

She accused some online reporters and mainstream media journalists of prioritising sensationalism without adequately verifying facts, arguing that commercial pressures should not come at the expense of an individual’s reputation or livelihood.“But it cannot come at the cost of facts.”

The actor described the situation as “heartbreaking”, saying inaccurate reporting can have consequences beyond generating headlines.

Her response represents her first detailed public clarification since reports surrounding the alleged searches emerged.
