New Delhi: The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is all set to grill actress Rakul Preet Singh on Monday in connection with a four-year-old drug case involving trafficking, consumption and money-laundering.

Now she will be seen opposite Sidharth Malhotra in the film ‘Thank God’ which will release this Friday. Recently, the actress celebrated her 32nd birthday with Arjun Kapoor, Malaika Arora, Jackky Bhagnani and Bhumi Pednekar in London.    

She made her debut in the Hindi film industry with 2014 youth film ‘Yaariyan’ alongside Himansh Kohli. Apart from Bollywood, she also works in Tamil and Telugu language films.
