Priyanka Chopra, Hrithik Roshan and many others showed solidarity with Preity Zinta after she shared two incidents of harassment which left her ‘shaken’.
She narrated her ordeal when a handicapped man followed her car for a while asking for money and how no one helped but laughed about it. She also shared how a lady tried to take her daughter Gia’s photo and then gave a wet kiss on her face.
Reacting to the post, Hrithik wrote, ‘(Red heart emoji) Well done Pree.’ Arjun Rampal also commented, ‘Next time give me a call will sort them out (red heart emoji).’
Priyanka Chopra also applauded Preity. Malaika Arora wrote, ‘You said it out loud and clear (person raising both hands in celebration emoji).’
Preity shared a video of the handicapped man following her car and wrote, ‘Two events this week have left me a bit shaken. 1 regarding my daughter Gia-where a woman tried to take her photo. When we politely asked her not to she walked away, then suddenly scooped my daughter in her arms & planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth & ran off saying what a cute baby. This woman lives in an elite building & happened to be in the garden where my kids were playing. If I wasn’t a celebrity I probably would have reacted badly but kept my cool as I didn’t want to make a scene.’
She also mentioned how she feels ‘children are NOT part of a package deal & are not meant to be preyed on.’ She urged that her kids be left alone, and no one comes to take photos or touch them.
Talking about the second incident she wrote, ‘U can see the 2nd incident here. I had a plane to catch & this handicapped man kept trying to stop me. Over the years he has harassed me for money & I have given it to him when I could. This time when he asked for money I said sorry today I have no cash, just a credit card. The lady with me gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her cause it wasn’t enough & started getting aggressive. As u can see he followed us for some time & got more aggressive.’
The actor further talked about how she got no help from the people around and that it was just a funny incident for them.
