thebalanced.newsPreity Zinta Shares Why She Wouldn’t Call Saif Ali Khan in Crisis
During her appearance on 'Koffee with Karan' Season 2, actress Preity Zinta revealed she would not call co-star Saif Ali Khan in a crisis, citing a message he sent her during the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. While trapped in Phuket amid the disaster, Saif reportedly sent a humorous text, which Preity found inappropriate given the situation. Despite their on-screen chemistry in films like 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' and 'Salaam Namaste,' she expressed surprise at his timing. Preity is now preparing for her comeback with the film 'Lahore 1947.'
