Preity Zinta recently visited Mahakumbh 2025 and penned a long note on how it deeply impacted her. The actress got trolled for her visit though. She was criticised for flying in a private jet and receiving VIP treatment, while the common man not getting proper arrangements. In her recent ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on her X (formerly Twitter), Preity responded to a person who asked her about the trolling.
A user asked Preity, “Why your harmless Kumbh pic triggered avalanche of trolls against you?” The actress responded and said, “People that try to pull you down are already below you so who cares about them & about trolls and spineless keyboard cowherds. Real guts is when you try & make a positive change around you & your environment and make the world a better place for others and for yourself.”
Preity had shared a video of her visit to Kumbh and expressed, “This was my third time at the Kumbh Mela & it was magical, heartwarming & a bit sad. Magical because no matter how hard I try, I cannot explain how I felt. Heartwarming because I went with my brother & mom & it meant the world to her. Sad, because I wanted to be liberated from the various cycles of life & death only to realise the duality of life & attachment. Am I ready to let go of my family, my children & the people I love? No! I’m not! “
She added, “It’s deeply moving & humbling when it dawns on you, that the strings of attachment are strong & mighty & no matter what your attachment is,eventually your spiritual journey & the journey ahead is solo! I came back with the notion that – we are not human beings having a spiritual experience but spiritual beings having a human experience Beyond this I don’t know, but I’m confident, my curiosity will definitely pave the way towards all the answers I seek… till then … हर हर महादेव #mahakumbh #2025 #harharmahadev #ting”
