Preity Zinta Asks Fans To Vacate Stadium As Punjab-Delhi IPL Match Gets Suspended
Last Updated: The game, which was being held at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, was called off midway due to a developing national security situation. Preity Zinta, co-owner of the Punjab Kings and a beloved Bollywood star, was seen stepping in with calm urgency as the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings and Delhi Capitals was unexpectedly suspended on Thursday evening. The game, which was being held at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala, was called off midway due to a developing national security situation. The suspension came shortly after Pakistan attempted to violate Indian airspace with a drone incursion near Chandigarh, prompting an immediate retaliation from Indian forces. The match, which had reached 10.1 overs, was halted as authorities implemented swift evacuation protocols. In a video that surfaced online, Preity Zinta was seen wearing a white t-shirt and jeans as she urged fans at the stadium to vacate the premises in an orderly manner. Her composed demeanor and quick response earned praise from onlookers and social media users alike. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) An official confirmed that, by Friday morning, both teams — including players, coaching staff, and broadcast crew — were relocated from Dharamshala to Hoshiarpur, Punjab. 'The entire contingents of both teams, including players, coaching staff, and broadcast personnel, were moved in around 40 to 50 small vehicles from Dharamsala to Hoshiarpur, located at the Punjab border," the official was quoted as saying by PTI. Earlier in the day, the IPL was suspended because of the military confrontation, which was triggered by the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack in which 26 people were gunned down. The BCCI stated that national interest trumps other considerations at a time when the country is responding to a terror attack and unwarranted aggression from across the border. Several celebrities have since taken to social media to express their solidarity with the Indian Armed Forces. Among them are Anushka Sharma, Virat Kohli, Rashmika Mandanna, SS Rajamouli, Kangana Ranaut, Akhil Akkineni, Namrata Shirodkar, Ananya Panday, Karan Johar, and Sonakshi Sinha.
