Netizens react
One said, 'After all if I remember correctly, her father was in the Army. There are lots of daughters and sons who have done quite well in the film industry but hardly find them donating to the forces or their welfare.'
Another wrote- 'Bless her soul. No amount of money can do justice to the families that lose their brave souls to martyr for our country. Just utter pain.'
A third commented- 'Commendable. Charity for such a noble cause makes her one of the best philanthropist in India. Jai Hind Jai Bharat.'
The actress has two brothers; Deepankar and Manish, a year older and a year younger, respectively. Deepankar is a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, while Manish lives in California.
Preity Zinta was chatting with her fans on X when she revealed how her first love died in a car crash as she remembered 'Kal Ho Naa Ho'.
The actress wrote- '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 hit different 💔 Fun Fact - Most scenes all actors cried naturally…. And Aman's death scene had everyone crying in front of the camera and behind it too !'
