Court summons Preity Zinta

A court issued summons to Bollywood actor Preity Zinta and co-owner Ness Wadia on Monday for using pictures of freedom fighters in their Indian Premier League advertisements. Zinta and Wadia are summoned on April 2.

The summons were issued by Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Anshul Berry on a complaint filed by city-based NGO Global Human Rights Council (GHRC). GHRC had objected on the use of pictures of freedom fighters, including of Bhagat Singh and Rajguru, in the advertisements of Kings XI Punjab.

"Earlier summons could not reach the accused as they were traveling at various match venues in the country. Now I will personally go to hand over the summons to Preity Zinta and others at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium," said Arvind Thakur, president of GHRC.

Preity Zinta prefers North East India to Switzerland

Actress Preity Zinta may be out of scene these days as far as films are concerned, but the pretty lady has a strong desire to shoot for one of her next projects in the North East parts of India.

During a recent media interaction Preity, who is from Himachal Pradesh, said she has always been fond of places that have a natural beauty about them.

Preity says that she prefers Shillong over Switzerland, and fails to understand as to why Bollywood filmmakers fly all the way to Switzerland for shooting at exotic locations for their film. The actress recommends that they book tickets to Shillong for the same!

Preity also added that she’s very keen on shooting one of her next films in the North East of India because of the fact that it has so much unexplored beauty there.
