She added, “Calling me a soldier is not completely wrong because I am a soldier’s daughter & a soldier’s sister 😀 We fauji kids/ army brats are wired different. We are not North Indian or South Indian or Himachalis or Bengalis, etc. We are just Indians 🇮🇳 & yes patriotism & national pride is in our blood. If you know, you know 🤩 Ting!"
Another fan asked the actress, “#Pzchat Did the things you went through (got attacked by a political party) change your political opinion?" She replied, “I’m surprised at how toxic social media in India has become & how, every comment & observation is weighed on a political scale. I’m not a politician, nor am I interested in politics, but as a normal person, I find this deeply disturbing. Having said that, I’m also not a delicate darling or a pushover that anyone can try & bully me, so if anyone tries, they will be in for a rude shock."
Meanwhile, Preity Zinta is all set to make a comeback in films. She will be seen with Sunny Deol in Lahore 1947. It will be produced by Aamir Khan Productions. While the buzz for the film was already high, director Rajkumar Santoshi raised the audiences’ expectations by announcing that AR Rahman and Javed Akhtar would also be a part of the film.
