Preity Zinta, the ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ star, had quite a tumultuous journey in this IPL season. After 18 years of drought, Royal Challengers Bengaluru won their maiden IPL title as the champions. While RCB was profoundly hailed, Zinta had a spotlight amongst the netizens for being teary-eyed after the unfortunate loss.
The infamous Kareena-Preity rift
The IPL team co-owner, who is renowned for being kind-hearted, once had a strained relationship with a fellow actress regarding a hit film. Zinta initially had a hostile bond with the ‘IT Girl,’ Kareena Kapoor, who was initially offered the role of Naina in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ by Karan Johar. However, Zinta eventually got the offer, and subsequently, charmed the silver screen and won the hearts of the audiences, causing a rift between the two.
Preity Zinta said Kareena Kapoor only says…
During an episode of ‘Koffee With Karan,’ Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor were guests for the episode. In a segment, Preity Zinta’s video was played, where she confessed that the ‘Jab We Met’ actress ignores her, and Zinta doesn’t appreciate it. “Kareena, thank you for ‘Kal Ho Na Ho.’ Don’t hold me for it; you always hold me for it. I don’t have any problem with her, but I do have a problem when she ignores me. I don’t like that,” Zinta said in the clip.The ‘Lakshya’ actress, with a gracious smile on her face, further stated that Kareena only says “Hi” to her when Karan Johar is around. “I think we are both actors in the Indian film industry, and we should just take a chill pill,” she added.
Kareena Kapoor admitted…
However, in the episode, Kapoor admitted that she regrets losing her friendship with Karan Johar for a year, and apologised for not starring in the film. Additionally, she expressed that Priety Zinta did a fantastic job in the film, and her career took a leap after ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho.’
