Preity Zinta, co-owner of the Punjab Kings, has responded to the circulating fake quote referencing her alleged statement about wanting Rohit Sharma on her team, calling it “#Fakenews.”
Amidst concerns about Sharma’s future with the Mumbai Indians, Zinta states her admiration for the cricketer and emphasises that she has never addressed him in an interview or made such a statement.

These articles are a perfect example of how misinformation is picked up without any verification & circulated online. I humbly request all Media to refrain from circulating this & embarrassing all concerned parties ?? All I want to say is that we have a great team currently & our only focus is to win games & make the most out of #IPL2024 Thank you. @PunjabKingsIPL” She wrote on her official X formerly known as Twitter account.
