Preity Zinta apologises to fan after he asks if she is joining BJP; says, “Everybody has become so judgemental off late”

Actor Preity Zinta has expressed frustration over how her actions are constantly seen through a political lens, saying it’s taking away from the simple pleasures in life. She has now clarified that she has no intention of joining the BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party) or any other political party in the near future.

During an AMA session on X, Preity Zinta addressed questions about her potential association with a political party. When a user asked if she planned to join the BJP in the near future, Preity replied, “That’s the problem with people on social media, everybody has become so judgemental off late.”

“As I said earlier, going to a temple / Maha Kumbh and being proud of who I am & my identity does not equate with me joining politics or for that reason BJP. Living outside India has made me realise the true value of my home country & like everyone else I do appreciate India & all things Indian much more now️,” she added.

After Preity’s response, the social media user explained that his question stemmed from curiosity, citing her recent tweets and public appearances. He clarified that it was not intended to be judgmental, but “rather a genuine inquiry from a keen follower.”

Preity expressed that the simple joy of her personal choices was being overshadowed by constant politicisation. She responded, “I’m sorry if I sounded abrupt ! I have PTSD from this question. Appreciate your clarification (folded hand emoji) After becoming a mom & living in a foreign country I wanna make sure my kids don’t forgot they are half Indian. Since my husband is agnostic we are bringing up our kids as Hindus. Sadly, I am facing constant criticism & this simple joy is being taken away by my choice being politicised all the time. I feel I need to keep answering for being who I am or having pride in teaching my kids about their roots & religion… Chalo time to move on …Sending you lots of love n best wishes.”
