Actor Priyanka Chopra Seeks Legal Opinion On Exiting Deal With Nirav Modi
Actor and former Miss World Priyanka Chopra, roped in last year as the brand ambassador for Nirav Modi's designer jewellery, hasn't sued the billionaire but is getting legal opinion on how to cancel her deal, the actor's spokesperson said after the 48-year-old emerged as the target of a massive investigation into the Rs 11,300 crore scandal, termed India's biggest banking fraud. "There are speculative reports that Priyanka Chopra has sued Nirav Modi. This is not true. However, she is currently seeking legal opinion with respect to terminating her contract with the brand in light of allegations of financial fraud against Nirav Modi," her spokesperson said in a brief statement.
Ms Chopra, who scored Hollywood success with her hit series Quantico, has been associated with the luxury diamond jewellery brand as its brand ambassador since January 2017. "Priyanka embodies all the symbols of modern India while paving her own path, which also represents the ethos of our brand," the firm that has boutiques across three continents to sell its jewellery for prices varying between 5 lakhs to 50 crores had announced. The banking scandal, however, has led Ms Chopra to consider snapping ties with the brand.
