When translated, it claims: “He came into my life and spoiled my career. He is also the one who got me addicted to drugs. He used to tap the phone and threaten me and take me to Dubai. If I don't get married, he said he would give the Janwada farmhouse to me, he said, I can have luxury. For being in a relationship with Jackie Bhagnani, He stopped people from giving me offers. The producers rejected me from 5 films because they were afraid of him. I told about this to KCR, Harish, and Santhosh Rao but they didn't care. Now, he came into my life again and brought a situation where I need to take divorce. Heroine Rakul Preet Singh made sensational allegations against KTR in a film magazine interview.
Fact Check:
The claim is False. Rakul Preet Singh did not make any such statement. No newspaper published such an article.
When we observed the viral image, we could not find any name of the newspaper nor did we find any date on the article. We also did not find any such statement on her social media handles. We also searched using the keywords, but could not find any news published in any of the Telugu newspapers, either in Telangana or Andhra Pradesh.
When we searched for the image of Rakul Preet Singh shared on the viral image, we found that the image is an old one, published along with other images under the title “Rakul Preet Singh Interview photos” in January 2016. The viral image also claims that Rakul made these statements in her latest interview given to a film magazine. When we searched for her latest interviews, we found an article published in India today on September 12, 2024. The article states that in her conversation with YouTuber Ranveer Allahabadia, she was once replaced in two Telugu films that starred superstar Prabhas. She also revealed that before her debut Telugu film, she was originally slated to appear in other movies featuring the Kalki 2898 AD star.
The YouTube video interview published on the channel Ranveer Allahabadia on September 11, 2024, is her latest interview and does not talk about KTR or any such topics. We can find the whole interview here.
Hence, the claim that Rakul Preet Singh made a statement alleging KTR for ruining her life is False. She did not make any such statement. No Telugu newspapers published it.
