Preity Zinta asks paps to follow Covid 19 rules: 'Please maintain social distance'. Watch video

Actor Preity Zinta, who was spotted in Mumbai, had to remind paparazzi to maintain social distancing, even as the city struggles with a surge in coronavirus cases.

Preity was dressed in casuals and had a white mask on. She was seen holding a yellow bottle and her mobile phone in one of her hands.

A paparazzi video showed Preity stepping outside a Bandra clinic. She was seen telling cameramen rushing towards her, "I have just one request. Please, please aap social distance rakhiye (maintain social distance)." She then moved on to sit inside her car even as the paparazzi continued to ask for a few more poses. She also wished them goodbye as she closed the door of her car.

Preity has revealed last month that her husband Gene Goodenough is struggles with Hindi. She said, in an interview, how she mischievously took advantage of his ignorance and taught him that the Hindi word for wife is ‘maalkin (owner)’. Preity and Gene married in 2016.

She told Vogue in an interview, “I love that he doesn’t understand a lot of Hindi. I call him ‘pati parmeshwar’ and he asked me for the wife equivalent of the word. I told him it’s ‘maalkin’,” she laughed, adding that Salman taught him cuss words.
