Mumbai, Feb 21 (NationPress) Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has recently hit back at trolls who scrutinized her marriage to Gene Goodenough by quoting an iconic line from Shah Rukh Khan’s beloved film “Veer Zara.”
In her response to those questioning her choices and opinions regarding her marriage, the 'Soldier' actress shared a memorable dialogue 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 expressed her dismay over the rising negativity and toxic behavior online, noting how quickly people judge celebrities based on their social media presence. She recounted how her first interaction with an AI chatbot was brushed off as just another ‘paid promotion’ gimmick. Zinta also commented on the unfortunate trend of branding supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘bhakts,’ while those who take pride in their Indian identity are often dismissed 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’re 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 shakhs hai, jo mere liye aapni jaan de sakta hai samjhe If you know you know …. Ting !”
On the professional front, Preity is gearing up for her return to the Hindi film industry in Rajkumar Santoshi's eagerly awaited film “Lahore 1947.” In this historical drama, she will star alongside actor Sunny Deol.
