Last week it was heard that the Income Tax Officials found Rs. 6 Crores (£83,000) in Priyanka Chopra’s home. The raid occurred at around 7:30am and it was said that Shahid Kapoor was spotted in her apartment in Versova, looking rather sleepy.
However after all that uproar last week, Priyanka Chopra‘s accountant has come to her her rescue denying any rumours that Income Tax official found unaccounted assets worth Rs.6 crore after the raid. The cash found was less than Rs.50, 000 (£700), according to the accountant.
According to her accountant; any property purchased by her or her family have been declared at every given point in time. The accountant also stated that no undisclosed assets were spotted during the search.
However last week it was claimed that Priyanka Chopra had purchased several flats in the same complex as she lived in, and let them out. Other properties were purchased in the name of others and that she only accepted cash from any of her performances. However her accountant claims that Priyanka Chopra is one of the highest tax-payers amidst the film industry.
Priyanka Chopra will be next seen in her upcoming film Saath Khoon Maaf a story of an Anglo-Indian woman Susanna Anna-Marie Johannes, a beautiful woman who goes on to kill all her seven husbands. The film is all set to release on the 18th February. Later followed by Don 2 (Directed by Farhan Akhtar opposite Shah Rukh Khan) , Anurag Basu’s Silence (Opposite Ranbir Kapoor) and Krrish 2 (Directed by Rakesh Roshan).
