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.
