Their lack of response drew criticism, with some accusing them of staying quiet to avoid losing fans across borders.

‘These Things Hit Close to My Heart’: Preity’s Powerful Reply

When asked about Bollywood celebs who neither condemned the Pahalgam terror attack nor lauded Operation Sindoor, Preity Zinta shared, “I cannot speak for everyone else as people process things differently. Being a fauji kid and coming from an army background, these things hit close to my heart, so I am very vocal about how I feel I have seen the grit , the sweat, the blood, the tears up close. Sometimes I feel Fouji families are a little stronger than the Fouji’s themselves ! Have you seen those mothers that give their sons up for our country, those wives that will never see their husbands smile again and those kids that will never have their fathers or mothers guide them through life ! This is their reality & this will never change irrespective of others opinions or comments so god bless them all .”

Balancing the Serious With the Sweet

In addition to her thoughtful and impactful response, Preity Zinta also took time to engage in some light-hearted and fun exchanges with her fans during the session.

For instance, one social media user asked her, “Ma'am, how to get a dimple like you. Just, askin'! #pzchat.” To this, Preity replied, “It’s called a muscle defect Seriously ! Here is a perfect example of how a defect or imperfection is actually liked by people so we should not always try to fix everything in life. Our defects/shortcomings make us human .”
