Preity Zinta on backlash over Batwara 1947 women remark

Responding to an opinion piece published by ThePrint, Preity wrote, “Hi, I have not read your article fully, but after reading the text above, I feel your take on my experience while filming is totally taken out of context. I’m surprised how everyone is so quick to react to any comment without fully understanding the context. This is a film and it deals with a particular family. There are no broad strokes here. Judging the film or director like this without seeing it is both unfair and unjust. Journalism should be responsible and fair. Please see the film on 14th Aug and then form an opinion. Thank you. Much love.”
