Priyanka Chopra says she has never seen cash amounting to Rs 6 Crore, so there is no question of having had it in her house during the recent IT raid, as reported by Mumbai tabloids.
Priyanka was speaking at a press conference in Mumbai on Monday, January 31, to refute the report.
As to the presence of her rumored beau Shahid Kapoor at her house during the raid, Priyanka said since her mother, who usually stays with her, wasn't at the house, she asked Shahid, who stays three minutes away, to be there on her behalf.
Priyanka told the assembled pressmen that she was deeply hurt by the unsubstantiated headlines that unaccounted cash totaling Rs 6 crore was recovered from her house.
"You believe in rumors when they run it as front-page news, without checking its authenticity. Neither you ask the accused person whether the allegations are true or not, nor do you substantiate it with any paper work," she said.
"I had never experienced anything like this before. Whatever happened has deeply hurt me and deeply affected me. I have already said whatever I had to say and we have continuously cooperated with the investigating authorities."
Priyanka prides herself in being amongst the highest tax payer Bollywood star.
"I still feel proud that I am counted among the few highest tax paying Bollywood stars and hope to be so as long God continues to give me the opportunity," Priyanka said.
