Rohit Sharma: Punjab Kings co-owner and Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has refuted the circulation of fake news articles suggesting her interest in roping in Mumbai Indians star batter Rohit Sharma as the skipper for her Punjabi outfit. Zinta clarified that she never discussed Sharma in any interview, despite holding the Indian captain in high regard.
Zinta Expresses Dismay Over Misleading Reports
Shikhar Dhawan, the current captain of the Mohali-based unit, is facing time on the sidelines due to an injury, and Zinta expressed her dismay at the timing of the false news reports. She emphasized that she has a lot of respect for Dhawan and finds the timing of these articles particularly disappointing given his injury.
Appeal for Responsible Journalism
In a statement on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Zinta denounced the fake news, calling it “completely fake and baseless.” She urged the media to refrain from circulating such misinformation and embarrassing all concerned parties. Zinta reiterated that the team’s focus is solely on winning games and making the most out of the IPL 2024 season.
Zinta’s response highlights the importance of verifying information before circulation and underscores the need for responsible journalism in the digital age.
