Rakul Preet Singh expressed her anger and issued an official statement clarifying that the recent income tax search was not about her. She firmly stated that she has no benami property in her name, has paid all her taxes since the age of 20, and is not involved in any illegal foreign remittances.

The Mumbai Income Tax Department conducted simultaneous searches across 12 locations linked to actress Rakul Preet Singh, her father-in-law Vashu Bhagnani, and Panorama Studios. The investigations were reportedly prompted by suspicions of financial irregularities, specifically regarding the transfer of funds abroad under the guise of film production and overseas distribution project financing.

Vashu Bhagnani is a veteran film producer and the father-in-law of actress Rakul Preet Singh. Rakul married his son, producer and actor Jackky Bhagnani, in 2024 at an ITC Grand Goa resort.
