Preity Zinta shocked as random woman kisses her daughter, slams paparazzi for laughing at wheelchair-bound man harassing her

Bollywood actor Preity Zinta recently took to Instagram and shared two such incidents that shook her to the core. She opened up about two incidents where she and her daughter Gia were harassed.

One incident happened when an unknown woman took photos of her daughter without her permission and later forcefully kissed her. While in another incident, a wheelchair-bound man tried to stop her for money and when she didn’t give, he followed her car.

She also lashed out at paparazzi for laughing at the situation and uploading their photos, videos, and sound bytes on social media without their permission.

On a long note, she wrote two events that happened this week that have left her a bit shaken. Recalling the first incident, she said the first one is regarding her daughter Gia where a woman tried to take her photo. Preity said when they politely asked her not to take photos she walked away, then suddenly scooped her daughter in her arms and planted a big wet kiss next to her mouth and ran off saying what a cute baby.

She said the woman lives in an elite building and happened to be in the garden where her kids were playing. She said if she wasn’t a celebrity she probably would have reacted badly but kept her cool as she didn’t want to make a scene.

Preity then shared another incident where she was harassed by a handicapped man. In the video, Preity is seen sitting in her car and as she tried to close the door the man kept saying please. The actor politely replied, Sorry, she has a flight to catch. As the car drove away, a person in a wheelchair kept asking for money. While the car tried to leave the area, the man knocked on the door, shouted at them, and even followed the vehicle.

Referring to the video, she wrote, she had a plane to catch and this handicapped man kept trying to stop her. She said over the years he has harassed her for money and she said she has given it to him when she could.

She said she didn’t have money to give and was just carrying a credit card so when he asked for money she politely refused. She said the lady with her gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her because it wasn’t enough and started getting aggressive. The man followed her for some time and got more aggressive.

Preity also slammed the photographers for filming and laughing at the situation and not helping her. She said the photographers found this incident funny. Instead of helping us they filmed and laughed.

No one told him not to follow the car or harass them as anyone could have gotten hurt. Had there been an accident, she would have been blamed, she said. My being a celebrity would have been questioned. Bollywood would have been blamed and a lot of negativity would have spread, she added.

Preity also urged the paparazzi to as her for photos, videos and sound bytes and have the grace, humanity, and maturity to act and help in the future instead of filming and laughing because most of the time it’s not funny, she added.

The actress signed off the post saying that her kids’ privacy should not be violated. She wrote, most importantly her children are not part of a package deal and are not meant to be preyed on so please leave them alone and don’t come to them for photos or touch/grab them. They are infants and need to be treated like infants, not celebrities, she added.

The much-anticipated Malayalam romantic comedy Oru Jaathi Jathakam, starring Vineeth Sreenivasan, has faced an unexpected delay in its OTT release. The film, originally scheduled to stream on ManoramaMAX from March 14, 2025, did not premiere as planned due to legal and censorship issues.

The streaming platform confirmed the delay through an official statement on its Instagram handle. According to the post, the postponement was caused by a recensoring process following a High Court notice regarding certain remarks in the film. As a result, the movie is undergoing additional scrutiny to meet legal and censorship guidelines before its digital debut.

ManoramaMAX assured viewers that Oru Jaathi Jathakam will be available soon, adding a Coming Soon tag to its promotional materials. However, a new release date has not yet been confirmed.

Storyline and box office performance

Oru Jaathi Jathakam revolves around a young man from North Malabar whose life takes a dramatic turn after a palmistry reading. A female palmist predicts that he will endure struggles, emotional distress, and social ridicule, making him hesitant about marriage. The film delves into how this prophecy affects his relationships and personal choices.

Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, the film performed fairly well at the box office, collecting Rs 9.23 crore. The unique storyline, combined with Vineeth Sreenivasan’s engaging performance, resonated with audiences.

Directed by M Mohanan, the film features a strong supporting cast, including Kayadu Lohar, Indu Thampy, Mridul Nair, Nikhila Vimal, and Isha Talwar. With its blend of humor, self-doubt, and destiny, the movie offers a fresh perspective on love and personal beliefs.

After a successful run in theatres, the Tamil film Dragon, featuring Pradeep Ranganathan, is set to make its debut on OTT platforms. Directed by Ashwath Marimuthu, the film premiered in cinemas on February 21, 2025, and presents an engaging narrative about a young man’s dubious efforts to achieve success.

Alongside Pradeep, the film stars talented actors Anupama Parameswaran, Myskkin, and Kayadu Lohar. Produced by AGS Entertainment, Dragon is slated to be available for streaming on Netflix starting March 21, 2025, and will be offered in multiple languages, including Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam, and Telugu.

The film has garnered attention for its timely exploration of contemporary issues, with one Hindi review noting, “Stories like Dragon need to be told at a time when unemployment, social media-driven envy, and a general sense of dissatisfaction have gripped the youth.” Pradeep portrays D. Raghavan, a protagonist with significant flaws whose unethical attempts to climb the ladder of success threaten the very fabric of his relationships, employment stability, and family ties.

This project reflects Pradeep Ranganathan’s growing prowess in the Indian film industry. He made his directorial debut with Comali in 2019, followed by his successful sophomore project, Love Today, in 2022, where he also starred in the lead role. The latter was a box office hit and subsequently remade in Hindi as Loveyapa, featuring rising stars Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan.

Looking ahead, Pradeep will be seen in Love Insurance Kompany, directed by Vignesh Sivan. Notably, he has co-written the script alongside Vignesh and SJ Suryah. This film promises to bring a fresh perspective to the romantic comedy genre. It is being produced under the banners of Nayanthara, SS Lalit Kumar, and LK Vishnu Kumar, reflecting a collaborative effort among several prominent figures in the industry.

With Dragon set for its OTT release, audiences can look forward to this thought-provoking film exploring ambition and morality in a rapidly changing world.
