Preity Zinta's Patriotic Post Ignites Controversy

Mumbai, Dec 17 (NationPress) Actress Preity Zinta, celebrated for her performances in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’, ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’, among others, recently made a social media post that has stirred considerable debate online.

The actress took to her X, previously known as Twitter, and expressed, “Support the country you live in or live in the country you support. #ThoughtForTheDay”.

Though she did not specify anyone directly, many online believe her comment was a pointed jab at Punjabi superstar Diljit Dosanjh or politician Priyanka Gandhi.

One user remarked, “Gandhi parivar ke liye thought for a lifetime”.

Another user stated, “Good thought. If one isn't loyal to their own country, showing camaraderie with another won't help”.

A third commented, “This tweet is for the Gandhi family”.

Another user also tagged Diljit Dosanjh in their response.

Earlier, the actress shared a delightful moment of her son Jai preparing Indian flatbread, ‘Roti’. On Sunday, she posted three photos of Jai cooking alongside his grandmother on Instagram.

In her caption, she wrote, “The best things in life are free. Like the joy of eating this Roti made by nani ma and our youngest chef Jai. Happy Sunday everyone”. Jai, born in 2021 through surrogacy, is the son of the actress and her husband Gene Goodenough, and they also have a daughter named Gia.

Before that, the actress took part in the IPL auctions. After a break from social media, she asked her Instagram followers for suggestions on players to include in her IPL team. At that time, she shared a video from her hotel balcony.

The video showcased the skyline of Jeddah. In her caption, she mentioned, “Done with my digital detox. Landed in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for the IPL Auction. Watch this space for some amazing new announcements folks. Till then all recommendations for our new team are welcome. Bring it on #Ting #IPLAuction2025 #Saddasquad @punjabkingsipl”.
