On Tuesday, Bollywood actress and IPL co-owner Preity Zinta hosted an Ask Me Anything session on X (formerly Twitter) and answered various questions pertaining to her personal life, cricket, movies, and beauty. Among the many things she shared with her followers on the microblogging site, she also revealed that she had adopted a vegetarian diet.

Preity Zinta on turning vegetarian


A fan asked her if she had ever tried Hyderabadi biryani. Responding to it, she revealed that she turned vegetarian before her visit to the Mahakumbh earlier this year. "To be honest, three weeks before the Maha Kumbh I became vegetarian, and I’m still vegetarian—except for eggs, which I eat on and off for protein—so no, I have not eaten Hyderabadi biryani."


Preity on her tragic first love

Another fan asked her if she still cries while watching Kal Ho Naa Ho, just like the audience does, even after all these years. Preity played the role of Naina Kapoor in the film, which also starred Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan. Responding to the question, Zinta shared some heartfelt details about the movie and her personal life. "Yes, I cry when I see it, and I cried when we were filming it too! My first love died in a car crash, so this film always hits different 💔 Fun Fact – Most scenes had all actors crying naturally… and Aman’s death scene had everyone crying in front of the camera and behind it too," she shared.

Preity on beauty and aging 

A fan asked Preity about how she always maintains a constant smile on her face. To this, the "Veer-Zaara" actor replied, "Whenever I want to complain, I look at people that don’t have love or family or jobs or the poverty around and how difficult it is for people to make ends meet. How can I complain after that? In fact, I thank god everyday for giving me more than I dreamt for. Therefore, smiling comes easily & so does gratitude," along with a folding hands emoji.

When another netizen asked the reason behind her beauty, Preity shared, "Don’t know about that but …. how I look and my age seems to be a hot topic everyday! I think my brains are better than my face if you ask me but chalo koi na … will take the compliment. Somehow men are never asked how good they look at their age everyday - only their achievements are celebrated, but where I’m concerned ( or for that reason women)the conversation never goes past the age, face, sadly achievements are rarely mentioned! Sending you lots of love cuz your intent was good !"

A curious user even asked the diva about how to get dimples like her. Preity reacted to this saying, "@realpreityzinta It’s called a muscle defect...Seriously ! Here is a perfect example of how a defect or imperfection is actually liked by people so we should not always try to fix everything in life. Our defects/shortcomings make us human."
