Preity Zinta gets trolled

Bollywood actor Preity Zinta recently responded to criticism regarding her choice to conceal the faces of her children, Gia and Jai, in photos shared on social media. The actress, who is married to Gene Goodenough, celebrated Holi with her family and posted pictures from the festivities. However, some social media users questioned why she covered her twins’ faces with emojis.

A curious fan asked, “Why hide kids’ faces?” to which Preity Zinta politely responded, “I’m in the entertainment business, not my kids. So I’m letting them grow up normal and enjoy their childhood till I can manage. Uske baad, Rab Rakha (after that, God bless).”
