Actress Dia Mirza has quashed reports that her name has come up in the Narcotics Control Bureau’s investigation into Bollywood’s alleged drug links. In a Twitter thread and Instagram post, the actress has denied consuming drugs and has written that she has never 'procured or consumed any narcotic or contraband substances of any form in her life'. Earlier reports suggested that Dia was under the NCB radar and might be summoned for questioning soon. However, the actress was quick enough to react to such reports and refute them.
“I would like to strongly refute and categorically deny this news as being false, baseless and with mala fide intentions. Such frivolous reporting has a direct impact on my reputation being besmirched and is causing damage to my career which I have painstakingly built with years of hard work. I have never procured or consumed any narcotic or contraband substances of any form in my life. I intend to pursue the full extent of legal remedies available to me as a law abiding citizen of India. Thanks to my supporters for standing by me,” she said in a statement shared on her Instagram page.
