Preity Zinta Claps Back at Political Question in Viral X Post

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta recently captured the attention of social media users with her graceful and thoughtful response to a political question. During a casual interaction with her fans on X (formerly Twitter), Zinta addressed a question about her potential political aspirations, and her response has quickly gone viral for all the right reasons.

The Unexpected Political Question

It all began during Preity Zinta ‘s#PZChat session, where she engaged with her followers and welcomed questions on a range of topics, including the ongoing IPL season. But things took a turn when one netizen asked, “Are you going to join BJP in the near future? Your tweets in the last few months seem like so…”

In today’s politically charged climate, questions like this are not uncommon, especially for public figures. However, what followed was a refreshing moment of clarity from the actress.

‘That’s the problem..’ – Preity Zinta

Instead of reacting with defensiveness or controversy, Preity Zinta responded with poise and confidence. She acknowledged the trend of judgmental comments often found on social media but firmly stated that expressing pride in one’s identity doesn’t equate to aligning with a political party.

Preity Zinta explained, “That’s the problem with people on social media, everybody has become so judgmental 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.”

She further elaborated on her appreciation for India, particularly having lived abroad. “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.”
