Untrue claim?
Is Arshi lying this time as well?
Although Arshi has confirmed about the development, the political party is yet to make an official announcement about it. Notably, Arshi is known for her knack of hitting the limelight with her 'dreamy' claims. In fact, in January 2018, she claimed to have been roped in for her big screen debut opposite Baahubali actor Prabhas. However, her claims turned out to be untrue.
