Preity Zinta reveals the reason behind the constant smile on her face

Preity Zinta reveals how gratitude keeps her smiling and addresses societal beauty standards in a candid AMA session.

"Whenever I want to complain, I look at people that don’t have love or family... smiling comes easily & so does gratitude. – Preity Zinta"

Mumbai, May 13

Actress Preity Zinta revealed the reason behind her positive outlook on life and constant smile on her face.

During an AMA (Ask me anything) session on X, a fan asked Preity about how she always maintains a constant smile on her face.

To this, the "Veer-Zaara" actor replied, "Whenever I want to complain, I look at people that don’t have love or family or jobs or the poverty around and how difficult it is for people to make ends meet. How can I complain after that? In fact, I thank god everyday for giving me more than I dreamt for. Therefore, smiling comes easily & so does gratitude," along with a folding hands emoji.

When another netizen asked the reason behind her beauty, Preity shared, "Don’t know about that but …. how I look and my age seems to be a hot topic everyday! I think my brains are better than my face if you ask me but chalo koi na … will take the compliment. Somehow men are never asked how good they look at their age everyday - only their achievements are celebrated, but where I’m concerned ( or for that reason women)the conversation never goes past the age & face & sadly achievements are rarely mentioned! Sending you lots of love cuz your intent was good !"

A curious user even asked the diva about how to get dimples like her. Preity reacted to this saying, "@realpreityzinta It’s called a muscle defect...Seriously ! Here is a perfect example of how a defect or imperfection is actually liked by people so we should not always try to fix everything in life. Our defects/shortcomings make us human."

Talking about her professional commitments, Preity is all set to make her Bollywood comeback with Rajkumar Santoshi's “Lahore 1947," opposite Sunny Deol.

So true what she said about women being judged only on looks while men get celebrated for achievements. Even in 2024, Bollywood actresses face this bias. Respect to Preity for calling it out politely!

Her response about dimples being a "muscle defect" is hilarious yet profound! Typical Preity style - mixing humor with life lessons. Can't wait to see her back on screen in Lahore 1947 after so many years!

While I admire her positivity, I wish she'd speak more about concrete social work rather than just philosophical statements. Many Bollywood stars could use their platform better for actual change.

That dimple comment is pure gold! 😂 Preity Zinta was the OG queen of Bollywood before the current generation. Her energy in films like Kal Ho Naa Ho was unmatched. Excited for her comeback!

Her perspective on gratitude is so Indian at heart - always counting our blessings rather than complaining. Reminds me of my grandmother's wisdom. More celebrities should share such grounded thoughts!
