Udaipur, May 14, 2025: A fan of Preity Zinta asked her a question on social media. He said, "Wouldn’t Maxwell have played in your team if he weren’t married?" Many thought that someone like Preity would ignore such a question. But she gave a strong and fitting reply instead.

Preity's Response on Gender-Biased Question

She wrote on Instagram, "Would you ask the same question to male team owners? Or is it just because of discrimination that a woman can be asked like this? I had no idea how hard it is for a woman to survive in the corporate world before joining cricket. I think you asked the question jokingly. But look at the question carefully and try to understand what you are really trying to say. If you understand that, you’ll see it’s not right at all! I believe I’ve worked honestly for the past 18 years. So please give me the respect I deserve. Stop gender bias."

Not the First Time a Heroine Was Targeted

This is not the first time a Bollywood heroine has faced comments on love or marriage. Such comments towards male actors are rare on social media. That's why Preity’s fans are happy with how she stood up for herself.
