Actor Preity Zinta recently hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) session on X (formerly Twitter). She answered questions about politics, her upcoming projects, and her IPL team, Punjab Kings. She also shared her thoughts on AI, social media, and Kangana Ranaut.

Preity on Defamation Case Against Rahul Gandhi

Preity began the session with a tweet: "Today feels like a perfect day for an impromptu #Pzchat! Any recommendations for a chat, or should we keep it generic? Let me know folks as I have an hour to chat."A fan quickly asked, "When are you putting a defamation case on Rahul Gandhi?"Preity responded right away. "I don’t think it’s fair to vilify anyone like that. He is not responsible for someone else’s actions. I believe in handling problems or issues directly, not through proxy battles. I also have no problem with Rahul Gandhi, so let him live in peace & I will live in peace too (grinning face emoji).

Preity Rejects Political Career

Soon after, another fan asked, "You are truly a Soldier dar Preity!! Hats off to you!! Just curious, any plan to join politics?"Preity firmly denied any political aspirations. "No! No politics for me. Over the years, various political parties have offered me tickets & Rajya Sabha seats, but I have politely declined. It’s not what I want. Calling me a soldier is not completely wrong because I am a soldier’s daughter & a soldier’s sister (grinning face emoji)."She further explained her patriotism. "We fauji kids/army brats are wired differently. We are not North Indian or South Indian or Himachalis or Bengalis, etc. We are just Indians 🇮🇳 & yes, patriotism & national pride is in our blood. If you know, you know (star-struck emoji) Ting!"

Preity’s Thoughts on Politics and Social Media

As the discussion continued, another user asked, "#Pzchat Did the things you went through (got attacked by a political party) change your political opinion?"Preity voiced her concerns. "I’m surprised at how toxic social media in India has become. Every comment & observation is weighed on a political scale."She then reinforced her position. "I’m not a politician, nor am I interested in politics. But as a normal person, I find this deeply disturbing. However, I’m also not a delicate darling or a pushover. If anyone tries to bully me, they will be in for a rude shock."
