Aishwarya Rai

indian customs officials investigating a mystery parcel containing cash sent to Bollywood actor Aishwarya Rai on Monday cleared her of any involvement for the time being.

The parcel marked “electronic items” was sent from the Netherlands and was packed with 23,000 euros ($29,500) in cash, which postal authorities discovered during a routine check of overseas mail.

“She denied that either she or any of her family members had any knowledge of the parcel or its sender,” customs commissioner A.K. Prasad told Reuters. “So in all fairness we have given her a clean chit until further investigations.”

Rai has been quoted as saying by local media that the package may have been sent to frame her.

On Monday, officials quizzed her for more than two hours.

“We will now get back to this chap who sent the parcel through our diplomatic channels,” Prasad said.

The Bollywood beauty’s new film “Umrao Jaan” — a remake of a 1981 Bollywood musical of the same name about a Mughal era courtesan who searches in vain for true love — is currently playing in cinemas across india
