Preity Zinta clarified that she has no political plans and also expressed her frustration over every choice of hers being interpreted through a political lens. Bollywood actress Preity Zinta was recently asked by a fan whether she is joining the political party BJP soon. She clarified that she has no political plans and expressed frustration over the assumptions being made.
She said that attending the Maha Kumbh or taking pride in her identity should not be misconstrued as an indication of her entering politics or joining BJP. Now, the actress has apologized to the fan for her ‘abrupt’ reaction, but explained that she is tired of people interpreting every choice of hers through a political lens. In her latest tweet, Preity apologized to the fan and wrote, “I’m sorry if I sounded abrupt ! I have PTSD from this question.
Appreciate your clarification After becoming a mom & living in a foreign country I wanna make sure my kids don’t forgot they are half Indian. Since my husband is agnostic we are bringing up our kids as Hindus. Sadly, I am facing constant criticism & this simple joy is being taken away by my choice being politicized all the time.
I feel I need to keep answering for being who I am or having pride in teaching my kids about their roots & religion Chalo time to move on ...
Sending you lots of love n best wishes." Yesterday, Preity Zinta responded to the fan’s query about whether she is joining BJP soon. Preity wrote, “That’s the problem with people on social media, everybody has become so judgemental off late.
As I said earlier, going to a temple / Maha Kumbh and being proud of who I am & my identity does not equate with me joining politics or for that reason BJP. Living outside India has made me realise the true value of my home country & like everyone else I do appreciate India & all things Indian much more now." After her response, the social media user wrote that he simply asked the question out of curiosity, and was not intended to be judgemental.
“But your reply seemed like you got rattled by my question. Respect and best wishes always," wrote the fan. The actress has now apologized for lashing out.
Preity Zinta tied the knot with Gene Goodenough in 2016. They are proud parents of twins, Gia and Jai, whom they welcomed via surrogacy on November 11, 2021. On the work front, Preity is all set to make a comeback on the big screen after a 7-year break.
She will be seen in Rajkumar Santoshi’s ‘Lahore 1947’, co-starring Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi and Ali Fazal. The film is produced by Aamir Khan..
