Nirav Modi's 11,300 Crore scam with Punjab National Bank (PNB) has rocked the nation. It's all that people have been talking about since the past few days. Just yesterday, Riteish Deshmukh took a dig at the whole scam by mocking his film, Bank Chor (2017).

Now, Farhan Akhtar has mocked the controversy by talking about an old incident - a rather great one. Check it out:
Farhan captioned the post as: "This. #integrity #selfrespect #dotherightthing (sic)."
Farhan's post read, "In 1965, the Prime Minister of India Lal Bahadur Shastri bought a Fiat car after taking a loan of Rs 5,000 from Punjab National Bank. When his loan was approved early, Shastri told the bank, "The common man should have the same privilege". He died at Tashkent in 1966 before he could repay the loan. The Bank wrote to his widow Lalita Shastri for repayment of the loan of Rs 5,000 which her husband owed. The lady promised to pay back in instalments from her family pension. She repaid every Rupee of the Rs 5,000. The fiat car still stands at his home, reminding of the era of a different breed of men (sic)."
Well said, Farhan.
