“Leave My Kids Alone”: Preity Zinta Raises Concerns Over Violation Of Privacy, Shares 2 Horrifying Incidents!
Even Celebs Deserve Privacy!
As public figures, celebrities often pay a hefty price for their fame. Unfortunately, this cost is not limited to them alone but also extends to their loved ones such as their children, families, friends, and relatives, who are forced to endure the loss of privacy as well. Further, celebs are often villanized for simply being public figures with money and power. And this is what happened with Preity Zinta recently. The actress was shamed for not stopping after a wheelchair-bound man followed her, as she was rushing to catch a flight, asking for money.

Preity Zinta recently took to Instagram to share two disturbing events that recently took place. Sharing that she is shaken, the actress revealed that in one incident, an unknown woman kissed her daughter Gia near her mouth, and in the other, a handicapped man tried to stop her from leaving in her car.
Sharing a video of the incident, Preity Zinta elaborated and explained what happened with the handicapped man which was recorded by the paps and led to social media outrage. In the video, the man can be seen approaching her car and asking for money repeatedly, even as she tries to close the door politely. Despite explaining that she has a flight to catch, the man continues to ask for money, and as the car begins to drive away, he knocks on the door and follows the vehicle.
Preity Zinta was understandably frustrated when photographers filmed and laughed instead of helping her when a handicapped man harassed her for money and followed her car. She pointed out that if there had been an accident, she would have been blamed and her celebrity status questioned.

Preity kept her cool despite her anger and frustration, but she did remind everyone that celebrities are not to blame for everything and that her kids are not part of a package deal. They’re infants who deserve to be treated with care and respect, not like celebrities. It’s a good reminder for all of us to think twice before we judge and to respect people’s privacy and personal space.
