Actor-entrepreneur Preity Zinta has opened up about allegedly facing harassment on two separate occasions during her recent visit to the city, saying the incidents have left her a \u201cbit shaken\u201d.
In a lengthy post on Instagram, Zinta wrote that a woman tried to take a photograph with her toddler Gia, but when the actor \u201cpolitely\u201d refused, the lady \u201csuddenly scooped my daughter in her arms & planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth & ran off saying what a cute baby.\u201d
\u201cThis woman lives in an elite building & happened to be in the garden where my kids were playing. If I wasn\u2019t a celebrity, I probably would have reacted badly but kept my cool as I didn\u2019t want to make a scene,\u201d the actor, who shares twins Gia and Jai with husband Gene Goodenough, said.
Detailing the second incident, the co-owner of the IPL team Kings XI Punjab said she was rushing to the airport when a disabled man started getting \u201caggressive\u201d as she couldn\u2019t offer him money due to lack of cash at the time.
\u201cI 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.
\u201cThe lady with me gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her cuz it wasn\u2019t enough & started getting aggressive,\u201d she wrote alongside a video of the disabled man following her car.
The 48-year-old actor, based out of Los Angeles, is currently in India to attend the ongoing IPL 2023 tournament.
Zinta, known for starring in movies such as \u201cDil Se..\u201d, \u201cSoldier\u201d, \u201cKal Ho Naa Ho\u201d, \u201cKoi\u2026 Mil Gaya\u201d, \u201cVeer-Zaara\u201d and \u201cLakshya\u201d, said it\u2019s high time people realised that celebrities are \u201chuman beings\u201d first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
