Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has expressed her frustration with the growing trend of online trolling and social media toxicity, where people are quick to pass judgment on celebrities based on their social media activities. The actress, known for her outspoken nature, took to X (formerly Twitter) to voice her exasperation with the growing social media toxicity.
The Toxicity of Social Media
Preity’s rant began with a series of tweets, where she expressed her annoyance with the constant criticism and judgment she faces on social media. “What’s happening to people on social media? Everyone has become so cynical. If one talks about their first chat with an AI Bot then people presume it’s a paid promotion, if you appreciate ur PM then you are a bhakt (follower) & god forbid, if you are a proud Hindu or Indian 🇳then ur an Andh Bhakt (blind follower),” she wrote. Preity asked people to keep it real and not jump to conclusions based on a single post or tweet. “Take people for who they are & not who we think they should be! Maybe we all need to take a chill pill and just be happy to communicate with each other,” she added.

Preity also playfully pre-empted trolls by addressing the question on everyone’s mind: why she chose to marry Gene Goodenough? The actor wrote, “Now don’t ask me why I married Gene ? I married him cuz I love him (heart emoji) Kyuki sarhad par ek aisa shaks hai, jo mere liye aapni jaan de sakta hai (Because there is one person across the border who can give his life for me) If you know you know”. When a user asked her whether celebrities who respond to online toxicity inadvertently “nourish the trolls” by giving them attention, Preity responded, “I think you guys forget that we did not grow up with technology so it does feel a bit alien & there is a lot of curiosity regarding AI”.
