Preity, who endorsed the Nestle product 12 years ago is  having a hard time stomaching the fact she was named in an FIR filed by an advocate in UP court for endorsing a product 12 years ago.


Taking to Twitter, she has expressed her disbelief over being dragged into the Maggi row.


"Reading the news about me being sued for doing the Maggie commercial over 12 years ago ? 12 years ago ? How does that happen ?", she posted.




 A case has been registered against Nestle India in a local court in Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh by food regulator FSDA (Food Safety and Drug Administration), after they found monosodium glutamate and lead in excess of the prescribed limit in Maggi samples they tested.


Bachchan said as a celebrity his name gets dragged into controversies so he has become careful.


Madhuri, who is the current face of the brand, was first to get Haridwar Food and Drug Administration's notice for claims made about the nutritional value of Maggi in the advertisement.


The 48-year-old actress later took to Twitter to explain that she met with the brand officials.


"Like most of India, I have enjoyed Maggi noodles for years. I was very concerned after recent reports and met with the Nestle team. Nestle explained that they always place the consumer first and have the highest quality standards.
