Preity Zinta is not only known for her incredible acting in Indian cinema but also for being bold and honest in her interviews. One such interview that is now going viral is from her appearance on the popular talk show Rendezvous With Simi Garewal. In the throwback clip, Preity speaks openly about why she would never date a married man — and her words are earning her a lot of praise online.
Preity Zinta on Relationships and Self-Respect
In the viral video, Preity Zinta tells Simi Garewal, “I don’t want to be the third person. I have too big an ego to be number 2 or 3 in anybody’s life. I don’t believe in breaking homes, especially where kids are involved. Those kids end up growing complex.”
She made it clear that she respects relationships and doesn’t want to be the reason for a broken family. The Kal Ho Naa Ho actress further explained that she always thinks ahead before making emotional decisions. She said, “I always look at a situation where if I’m attracted to a married man? Like, what are my options? Will I be so in love with this person that I will marry him? No. Is it a one-night stand? No. Most probably, I will get involved with this person, it will be great for a week, 10 days, or 2 months. And then, we will hate each other, we will want to kill each other.”
She added, “So why go down that lane? I don’t want to be that girl who some woman is sitting and cursing that she has ruined her marital bliss. I always stayed away from guys who are married.”
Fans Praise Preity Zinta’s Values
As soon as the video resurfaced online, fans started sharing their thoughts. One person commented, “I wish Rekha and Sridevi watched this.” This was a reference to the past rumors linking Rekha with Amitabh Bachchan and Sridevi with Boney Kapoor — both of whom were married at the time.
Many fans praised Preity for being honest and sensible. One user wrote, “She was always class apart! Fearless, intelligent, unconventional and non-problematic. This has been one of my favourite interviews on Simi Grewal’s show and I’m so happy it’s being seen now. She answered so intelligently and was always a girl’s girl, unlike other actresses of her time.”
