Mumbai: Famous Bollywood actress Preity Zinta’s reaction to the harassment by Khatun and Gadagar came out.
In her Instagram post, Preity Zinta mentioned two incidents and wrote, “Two incidents that happened to me this week have left me devastated.”
Talking about the first incident, Preity Zinta wrote, “A lady tried to forcibly take pictures with my infant daughter Jaya and when I politely forbade her, she suddenly forced a peck on my daughter’s cheek. Gaila gave a wet kiss and ran away saying what a sweet girl, this woman lives in an elite building and my children were playing in the garden when this incident happened.
Preity Zinta wrote, “If I wasn’t a celebrity, I would have reacted strongly to this lady, but I kept my cool because I didn’t want to create any drama there.”
In her post, Preity Zinta related another incident, how a wheelchair-bound assailant harassed her for not giving her money and started chasing her car.
Preity Zinta wrote, “She has been giving money to this beggar for many years but that day when he asked for money I said sorry I have no cash today just a credit card on which the lady next to me gave him money. He gave some money from his wallet which he threw back as he felt it was too little.
Preity Zinta wrote, “The beggar got angry after not getting the money, he followed us for some time and became more aggressive. The photographers who were there found the incident funny and instead of helping us, they kept filming and laughing.” “
The actress added, “No one told this donkey not to chase the car, but if there had been an accident, I would have been blamed and my celebrity status would have been questioned.” Bollywood was blamed and a lot of negative things were said.”
Preity Zinta wrote, “I think it’s time people understand that I’m a human being first, a mother second and a celebrity second. I’ve worked hard to reach where I am today,” Preity Zinta wrote. I have equal rights as any citizen in this country to live my life as I want, so please stop blaming celebrities for everything, there are always 2 sides to a story.
It should be noted that in the past, a video of Preity Zinta had gone viral in which she was heavily criticized for allegedly inappropriate behavior with a disabled donkey, however, the actress explained the incident in her Instagram post, explaining the other side of the picture. It has also been placed in front of people.
