Actress Preity Zinta talked about two incidents that “shook” her belief in humanity in an Instagram post on Saturday.
The actor took on the celeb photographers for their ‘insensitivity’ towards one incident, Zinta saying, that she was on her way to catch a plane when a handicapped man stopped and asked her for money. She said that the same man has “harassed” her for money for years and that she has always given him money whenever she could. This time when he asked, she said that she was sorry since she only had her credit card on her. She also added that the woman with her gave him some money but he threw it back at her and started getting aggressive since it was not enough.
The video Zinta shared shows her apologising and saying that she has a plane to catch, before waving to those present and closing the car door. As the handicapped man follows her car, one can hear photographers laughing in the background.
In another instance, Preity talked about her children who were ‘preyed on’ recently, she talked about her daughter of Gia. She said that a woman tried to take a photo of her. When she was politely asked not to do so, the woman walked away, but suddenly came back and scooped up Gia in her arms and kissed the girl next to her mouth. She then ran away saying ‘What a cute baby.’
“If I wasn’t a celebrity I probably would have reacted badly but kept my cool as I didn’t want to make a scene,” she Zinta.
She ended her post saying that she hopes photographers would show “grace, humanity, and maturity” and help in such an incident rather than laughing.
