Preity Zinta has opened up about facing harassment on two separate occasions during her recent visit to the city, and said the incidents have left her “shaken”. In a lengthy post on Instagram, Zinta revealed that a woman tried to take a photograph with her toddler Gia, but when the actor “politely” said no, the lady “suddenly scooped my daughter in her arms and planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth and ran off saying what a cute baby.” Detailing the second incident, the Kings XI Punjab team co-owner said she was rushing to the airport when a disabled man started getting “aggressive” as she couldn’t offer him money due to lack of cash at the time. A bevy of stars have come out in her support.

No love, but no war

Ranbir Kapoor may have dismissed Uorfi Javed’s sartorial choices as “bad taste”, but the latter isn’t ready to wage a war just yet. Responding to a report which claimed she told him to “go to hell”, she alluded that her comments were misrepresented. “I was only joking [stating] that Ranbir bhaad me jaaye, but Kareena [Kapoor] ne tareef kar di. I was being sarcastic. Whatever Ranbir said was his point of view. I didn’t find anything malicious in his statement,” she shared. 

Words that sing

Lyricist Dr Sagar, who has worked with composer Ilaiyaraaja for the upcoming film, Music School, says, “Ilaiyaraaja is a big name in the music industry. I got a chance to meet him four years ago in Chennai for the Paparao Biyyala-directed musical film Music School, which has about 12 songs. I’ve had the privilege to be involved in seven tracks. And in a way, we could say that the dialogue itself has been moulded into poetry.” The film is set to release in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, and it stars Sharman Joshi, and Shriya Sharan.
