Preity’s side to airport saga

Salman Khan and Preity Zinta in a still from Ishkq In Paris

Preity Zinta is fed up of the paparazzi. First she is nearly assaulted by some 40 camera flashes, and then she has to deal with the media going ad nauseum about why she hid her face, even speculating if she went under the knife, when she arrived at the airport on Monday night. To make matters worse, she’s nursing a twisted ankle following what she calls the “airport assault”.

Preity took to Twitter (where else?) to clarify her version of the night’s episode in a series of tweets. “Pushed n jumped on at the airport. It was raining so I slipped. Wasn’t hiding my face was trying 2 recover frm the shock of 40 camera flashes If photographers ask me politely I will oblige buy (but) next time I will either attack some1 or then file a police complaint cuz this is not fair. I am a human being not some animal in the ZOO! If my security would have pushed them then news would report my staff assaulted the media!”
Preity adds that she didn’t show her face as she was very annoyed with the paparazzi ambush. As she recovers from this personal trauma of her pictures floating all over the media, the only thing that feels reassuring for her is the good gesture by her dear friend Salman Khan who plays a cameo in her debut production Ishkq In Paris. Salman, who is playing himself again (the last time being in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani), extends this gesture only to those who he is very close to. An indebted Preity says, “I love Salman for being part of my first film as a producer. First experiences are always the most memorable and special and he has rocked the movie for me by looking so handsome and super hot!”
