Preity Zinta has found a rather stylish way to make a statement. The actor was recently spotted in Mumbai wearing a black T-shirt with a message that left little room for interpretation: ‘Team Tukaram Mundhe’.No long social media post. No elaborate statement. Just a simple black tee doing the talking.The outfit came as Maharashtra FDA chief Tukaram Mundhe continues to draw public attention for his crackdown on food safety violations across the state. Zinta is among several celebrities who have publicly backed his work, and her latest appearance turned that support into a fashion moment.
When a T-shirt becomes the statement
The black T-shirt was casual, but the message was anything but easy to miss. Zinta kept the rest of her look relatively understated, allowing the slogan across the tee to take centre stage.It’s the kind of fashion statement that doesn’t need much explaining. A celebrity stepping out in a slogan tee can sometimes say more than a carefully worded Instagram caption, and in this case, the message was clear.Zinta isn’t the only public figure to voice support for Mundhe.
Actor Manoj Bajpayee recently spoke about the attention the FDA chief has received, saying that it’s surprising people when someone simply does their job with “honesty” and “dedication”.Salman Khan also appeared to reference Mundhe in an Instagram Story while promoting a friend’s new café in Mumbai. His message was essentially a reminder to keep prices reasonable, maintain quality and, above all, follow hygiene standards.Twinkle Khanna has also spoken in support of the officer’s food-safety drive.
Who is Tukaram Mundhe?
Mundhe took charge as Maharashtra’s FDA commissioner on May 26 and has since led an aggressive inspection drive targeting food businesses across the state.

According to the figures cited in reports, his team has carried out more than 3,000 inspections and suspended the licences of nearly 165 establishments in about two months.The scale of the crackdown has made him a familiar name beyond government circles, particularly among restaurant owners and food businesses facing inspections.For Mundhe, however, the stated goal goes beyond raids and penalties. His focus, as he has put it, is towards creating “a healthy nation”.And now, thanks to Preity Zinta, that support has made its way from social media and interviews to the streets of Mumbai, one black T-shirt at a time.
