Mohabbatein actress Preeti Jhangiani, after attending the screening of her recently released film Udaipur Files, based on the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, urged viewers to watch the film first before forming opinions. The film, earlier slated for release on July 11, faced petitions seeking a ban over allegations of communal harm. However, on Wednesday, the Delhi High Court allowed its release despite a plea by the murder accused citing prejudice to the trial.
