Mumbai, Feb 21 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has recently hit back at trolls questioning her marriage to Gene Goodenough by referencing a famous dialogue from Shah Rukh Khan's film “Veer Zara.”
In addressing the skeptics regarding her opinions and her choice to marry Gene, the 'Soldier' actress quoted an iconic line from SRK: “Kabhi bhi ek dost ki zarurat pade to yaad rakhiyega, ki sarhad paar ek aisa shakhs hai jo aap ke liye apni jaan bhi de dega” (“Whenever you need a friend, remember that there is someone across the border who would give their life for you.”)
In a recent post on X, the 'Jaan-E-Mann' actress voiced her discontent with the rising negativity and toxicity on social media, stressing how quick people are to judge celebrities based on their online presence. She shared her experience of how her initial interaction with an AI chatbot was dismissed as a mere 'paid promotion'. Zinta also remarked on the unfortunate trend of branding supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as 'bhakts', while those who take pride in being Indian are often labeled as 'andh bhakts'.
The 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' actress stated, “What’s happening to people on social media? Everyone has become so cynical. If one talks about their first chat with an AI Bot then people presume it’s a paid promotion, if you appreciate your PM then you are a bhakt & god forbid, if you are a proud Hindu or Indian 🇮🇳 then you are an Andh Bhakt! Let’s keep it real folks & take people for who they are & not who we think they should be! Maybe we all need to take a chill pill and just be happy to communicate with each other. Now don’t ask me why I married Gene? I married him because I love him kyuki sarhad par ek aisa shaks hai, jo mere liye aapni jaan de sakta hai samjhe If you know you know …. Ting !”
On the professional side, Preity is gearing up for her return to the Hindi film scene with Rajkumar Santoshi's highly-anticipated film “Lahore 1947,” where she will co-star with actor Sunny Deol.
