Bollywood actress and IPL team Kings XI Punjab’s co-owner Preity Zinta went on a candid tweeting spree recently. The dimpled beauty revealed that the reason she became an actress was to be financially independent. Preity Zinta, who hails from small hill station Shimla in Himachal Prdesh said, post her success in the film industry she was never her real self. Everything changed after her success, she was not allowed to be sad, crib and even age.
She tweeted:
I’ve few friends as most people only want 2know me cuz Im famous & not4 who I am. I’m admired like a trophy & must always shine & be perfect — Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) May 13, 2014
I cannot have a pimple, put on weight or cover my face when photographers aim bright flashes at me in the dark & scare the hell out of me.

Perverts morph my face over half naked bodies & circulate it on da net & defame me & my modesty yet i MUST not complain cuz im a celebrity — Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) May 13, 2014
Preity further said , “I MUST smile all the time, be perfectly behaved, let any1 say or write anything about me even if its not true & be grateful that I’m famous. Big crowds make me nervous & men grab me 2touch me yet i cannot react cuz after all they are my fans ! Agreed… But am i not a woman too?’.”
Hope ur getting seriously uncomfortable & emotional by my brutal honesty? 2day i dont speak as me but as da collective voice of Celebrities. — Preity zinta (@realpreityzinta) May 13, 2014
