Preity Zinta has shared how a kind gesture from strangers has made her day. The actor took to X to share that she was down with fever and was not feeling great, when she received kadi chawal from her friend’s neighbour. She made a video of herself opening the tiffin box, and thanking the family for the food.
“He (director Santoshi) tortured me on day one by putting the most difficult scene of the film on the first day. So I was just looking at him (Sunny Deol), and I was shaking ki abhi main kya karoon (what do I do know)? Kuch khaayegi’ (Will you eat something)?
Batwara 1947 was released in theatres on August 14. Because he really was like, ‘Don’t worry, he loves retakes, he is a wonderful, big-hearted, kind, decent, good human being to work with.
Preity recently marked her return to the big screen after eight years in the Partition drama Batwara 1947 , starring opposite Sunny Deol. When HT asked Preity if facing the camera after a long break was like riding a bike, the actor laughed. She admitted that it took her some time to get used to it, and there were a lot of nerves initially.
“There were nerves,” she says. The actor says Sunny Deol acted as her compass on the set as director Santoshi decided to ‘torture’ her by giving her a tough scene on her first day back.
