Rakul Preet Singh Was Not in a Restricted Area: Gir Forest Clarifies ‘Jungle Safari’ Controversy

Mumbai

Actress Rakul Preet Singh is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Pati Patni Aur Woh 2. During the promotions, she was recently seen stepping out of a vehicle and walking around near Gir National Park. A video of the incident quickly went viral on social media, leading to controversy and accusations of violating forest rules.

In the viral clip, Rakul was seen casually walking in a forest area after getting out of her vehicle, prompting several social media users to question whether she had broken regulations by entering a restricted zone.

Responding to the controversy, the Gir Forest administration issued an official clarification on Sunday through its social media platform X. In the statement, the authorities explained that the viral video was shot outside the campus gate and not inside any restricted forest area. The administration clarified that the footage being circulated online does not show Rakul inside a prohibited zone.

Several social media users had criticized the actress after the video surfaced online. One user commented, “Rakul Preet Singh is roaming inside a restricted national park as if she is on a morning walk. How was she allowed to step out of the vehicle? Celebrities should not have separate rules.”

Another user raised concerns about privilege and alleged violation of regulations, while another stated that celebrities should not be allowed to behave arbitrarily.

It is worth mentioning that Rakul Preet Singh, Ayushmann Khurrana, Sara Ali Khan, and Wamiqa Gabbi were in Gujarat to promote the film “Pati Patni Aur Woh 2.” During the promotional activities, the team was also seen enjoying traditional Gujarati cuisine. Ayushmann, Rakul, and Wamiqa additionally danced to the film’s song “Roop Di Rani.”

The comedy-drama film, backed by T-Series and B. R. Studios, is scheduled to release in theatres on May 15.
