Preity Zinta Talks About Co-Stars' Silence On Operation Sindoor, Fans Name 'SRK, Salman Khan'
Last Updated:
Preity Zinta mentioned that being from an army family, such matters strike a chord with her.
Preity Zinta is known for always speaking her mind about issues in the country. However, the same cannot be said about all her co-stars. In a recent AMA session held by the actress on X, formerly known as Twitter, she was questioned about her co-stars' silence on Operation Sindoor. While Preity didn't mention anyone's names in her post, her fans did not show the same restraint in the comments section.
A fan asked Preity on X, '@realpreityzinta #pzchat what's your opinion & take on so many co-stars & celebrated Bollywood stars not condemning the #Phalagamattack? Nor did they come out in support of our armed forces during #OperationSindoor. We appreciate that you stood for India, but many in Bollywood did not."
The actress wrote, 'I cannot speak for everyone else, as people process things differently. Being a fauji kid and coming from an army background, these things hit close to my heart, so I am very vocal about how I feel ❤️. I have seen the grit, the sweat, the blood, the tears up close. Sometimes I feel Fouji families are a little stronger than the Fouji's themselves!"
She added, 'Have you seen those mothers that give their sons up for our country, those wives that will never see their husbands smile again and those kids that will never have their fathers or mothers guide them through life? This is their reality & this will never change irrespective of others' opinions or comments, so god bless them all ❤️."
Although Preity showed restraint in her reply, a fan commented, 'For example:
@iamsrk, @BeingSalmanKhan, Aamir Khan, etc." Another comment read, 'It is not about processing things differently. I am not from a fauji family, but my heart beats for India. It is normal and universal to express. It is abnormal for Bolly Crick stars not to express for their motherland, especially given 'Eye on Rafah/black band'." Another person wrote, 'Ma'am, there are some Khans, some Kapoors, some Bachchans inside Bollywood who process things differently." Other X users tagged Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Aamir Khan.
While Shah Rukh Khan expressed sadness and anger over the deadly terror attack in Kashmir's Pahalgam, the superstar has yet to comment on Operation Sindoor or the Indian Armed Forces' valour amid military tensions with Pakistan.
A few days ago, the official page of Aamir Khan Productions shared a note on social media in which the actor not only expressed gratitude to the Indian Armed Forces but also thanked PM Modi for his leadership. However, he was trolled for his 'late' post and the note's date coinciding with the date of Sitaare Zameen Par's trailer release.
Salman Khan came under fire on social media after he posted a note on X expressing relief over the ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan. Salman Khan's message sparked immediate backlash, with many users slamming him for commenting on the ceasefire while remaining silent on the terror attack, the Indian Army's response and the broader national sentiment in the days that followed the Pahalgam terrorist attack.

Ajay Devgn Backs 8-Hour Shifts For Moms Amid Deepika's Spirit Exit: ‘Most Honest Filmmakers…'
Last Updated: Deepika Padukone's exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's film Spirit sparks debate on work hours for new mothers. Ajay Devgn weighs in. The buzz around Deepika Padukone's reported departure from Sandeep Reddy Vanga's upcoming film Spirit has taken a fresh turn. Reports suggest the actress, who recently embraced motherhood, had requested to work no more than eight hours a day — a clause that reportedly didn't sit well with the filmmaker. Now, industry veterans Ajay Devgn and Kajol have weighed in on the ongoing conversation. During the trailer launch of Kajol's next film Maa, Ajay was asked how Hindi filmmakers are reacting to the idea of actors, especially new mothers, wanting shorter work hours. Ajay responded, 'It's not that it's not going down well with people." He added, 'Most honest filmmakers will not have problems with it. And apart from this, being a mother and working for eight hours, most people have started working eight-nine hours shifts." Kajol chimed in adding, 'I love the fact that you can work less," she said. While they refrained from naming anyone specifically, Ajay summed it up by saying, 'It's person to person, and I feel most of the industry understands this." Kajol is a mother of two herself. She has daughter Nysa Devgn and son Yug Devgn, with Ajay Devgn. Deepika Padukone-Sandeep Reddy Vanga Feud Filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga's recent post on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked a big controversy. Even though the director did not name Deepika Padukone, he penned down a cryptic note which left netizens assured that he was slamming the actress. This comes days after Deepika was ousted from Vanga's next movie, Spirit, which also stars Prabhas in the lead. Reports indicated that Deepika Padukone was set to receive the highest paycheck of her career for her role in the Prabhas starrer. It was rumoured that the actress would earn a staggering Rs 20 crore for this project. But, a few days later, it was reported that Sandeep Reddy Vanga had removed Deepika Padukone from Spirit. Reports suggest that her demands, including eight-hour workdays, a high salary, and a share in the film's profits, did not sit well with director Vanga. Deepika, a new mother, is reportedly seeking to balance her work and personal life by reducing her working hours. This decision led to her departure from the film, which would have been her second collaboration with Prabhas after their recent project, Kalki 2898 AD. First Published:
