Preity Zinta Instagram – 2 events this week have left me a bit shaken.1 regarding my daughter Gia-where a woman tried to take her photo. When we politely asked her not to she walked away, then suddenly scooped my daughter in her arms & planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth & ran off saying what a cute baby.This woman lives in an elite building & happened to be in the garden where my kids were playing.If I wasn’t a celebrity I probably would have reacted badly but kept my cool as I didn’t want to make a scene.
U can see the 2nd incident here.I had a plane to catch & this disabled man kept trying to stop me.Over the years he has harassed me for money & I have given it to him when I could.This time when he asked for money I said sorry today I have no cash, just a credit card.The lady with me gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her cuz it wasn’t enough & started getting aggressive.As u can see he followed us for some time & got more aggressive.
The photographers found this incident funny. Instead of helping us they filmed & laughed. NO ONE told him not to follow the car or harass us as anyone could have gotten hurt. Had there been an accident, I would have been blamed.My being a celebrity would have been questioned. Bollywood would have been blamed & a lot of negativity would have spread.
I think it’s high time people realise that I’m a human being first,then a mom & then a celebrity. I also don’t need to apologise for my success constantly & be bullied for it cuz I’ve worked very hard to get where I am.
I have an equal right like anyone else in this country to live the way I want so please think before you judge & please stop blaming celebrities for everything.There are always 2 sides to a story.
Most importantly my children are NOT part of a package deal & are not meant to be preyed on so please Leave my kids alone & don’t come to them for photos or touch/grab them. They are infants & need to be treated like infants,not celebrities.
I sincerely hope that the photographers that ask us for photos,videos & sound bytes also have the grace,humanity & maturity to act & help in the future instead of filming & laughing cuz most of the time it’s not funny. | Posted on 08/Apr/2023 14:31:10
