I came back sad from Shirdi: Preity Zinta

Shilpa Shetty who was “at peace” after her visit to Shirdi recently, Preity Zinta has returned with unpleasant memories of being pushed by the media in the pilgrim town.

“Good morning! Went to Shirdi yesterday and came back with memories of media pushing me instead of the serene face & energy of Sai Baba (sic),” an irritated Preity posted on her Twitter page.

The 36-year-old actor is quite displeased with the mad rush for celebrities even at a place of pilgrimage and is upset that she couldn’t even pray properly.

“I wonder why r temples have become so commercial? Why A temple trustee’s urge 2 b photographed with a celebrity is entertained by media? In front of god, we bare ourselves and look to purify our soul. Instead of feeling uplifted i came back feeling sad & deprived from Shirdi.

“In the rut to make anything news, have we forgotten to respect god and someone’s genuine devotion? I fold my hands to the media & request dem 2 Respect us & respect GOD! Not every celebrity goes 2 a temple 4 Tamasha! Some genuinely go 2 pray & 2 disturb them then is BAD KARMA,” she added.

Preity has been off the big screen for sometime now. Her last full-fledged role was in “Heroes” in 2008.

Preity Zinta uses Mahesh Manjrekar’s next flick as the come back vehicle

Charming sweet bubbly girl, Preity Zinta is all set to make a comeback on the silver screen afresh. She is a darling of all her fans, and won many hearts with her dimpled smile. She will be seen in Mahesh Manjrekar’s upcoming flick “White”. She won’t be playing a sweet bubbly girl character in this movie; instead she will be seen portraying a sombre weighty character. This role will undergo changes and distortion from early 20s to late 60s.

Preity is thrilled to accept this new challenge, which will enable her to showcase her acting skills. White is an austere drama with a pensive storyline. Preity will be the leading lady in this movie. Manjrekar’s last directorial venture was “City of Gold”. He is also acting in Anees Bazmee’s film “Ready”. This project will be finalised as soon as he returns to Mumbai.

Preity was last seen in an item number in the film “Main Aurr Mrs Khanna”, and in the previous year in Deepa Mehta’s “Heaven On Earth”, enacting an agonized wife. Ladies and gentleman gear up, as the most ‘Happening’ babe of the tinsel town is going to take your hearts away!
