Back in 2006, during the high-energy ‘Heat’ world tour featuring Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Sushmita Sen, Preity, and Celina, tensions arose in America. Local event organizers mistreated Celina, prompting Preity – the daughter of an army officer – to step in decisively. Celina’s tribute calls her ‘a brigade commander by nature,’ lauding her resolve and himmat.

‘I want to share an incident from our 2006 Heat world tour on her birthday today. We were all together, and while everyone was great, I faced problems with US organizers that Preity witnessed. Her standing up for me was pure, no pretense – just the voice of a soldier’s daughter,’ Celina recounted emotionally. She emphasized Preity’s role as a living example of strong women, especially resonant as Celina mothers twins through tough times.

Their friendship, unscripted by any joint film projects, stands strong on mutual respect and army heritage. Celina’s words resonate: ‘The world runs on women like Preity who are ‘good enough’ but possess that rare courage only an army kid can have.’ This nostalgic share not only honors Preity’s birthday but underscores enduring bonds in Bollywood’s competitive world, where loyalty often outshines fame.

A bright student, Preity shone in school, earned an English honors degree, and delved into criminal psychology for her master’s. Acting wasn’t on her radar until Shekhar Kapoor eyed her for a film. To appear nonchalant, she suggested tossing a coin. Heads came up, and just like that, she embraced cinema.

Though that particular project didn’t proceed as planned, her 1998 debut in ‘Dil Se..’ alongside Shah Rukh Khan sparked her journey. From vulnerable roles in ‘Kya Kehna’ and ‘Sangharsh’ to bubbly characters in ‘Dil Chahta Hai’ and heartfelt ones in ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’ and ‘Veer-Zaara,’ Preity dominated the 2000s.

Awards poured in, with Filmfare recognition highlighting her versatility. Off-screen, she married Gene Goodenough in 2016, welcoming twins via surrogacy. Now based in Los Angeles, Preity co-owns IPL team Punjab Kings and remains a symbol of resilience, her infectious smile a reminder of destiny’s playful hand.

In an interview with Zoom, Sunny Deol discussed the origin of ‘Lahore 1947.’ He stated that it was a subject that he and Rajkumar Santoshi had been discussing for years. He added that they tried to bring it to fruition, and it was only possible after the success of ‘Gadar.’ Aamir Khan approached him, expressing his desire to work on the project, and eventually, everyone agreed.

Discussing the film further, Deol highlighted the emotional depth of the subject matter. He mentioned that he and Rajkumar Santoshi have collaborated on three serious films, emphasizing the intensity and depth of the characters in ‘Lahore 1947.’ He described it as a drama adaptation, expressing hope for its early release.

The film is based on Asghar Wajahat’s famous play ‘Jis Lahore Nai Dekhya, O Jamyai Ni,’ set against the backdrop of the Partition. The story revolves around a Muslim family that settles in Lahore from Lucknow and is allotted a haveli previously occupied by a Hindu family. However, dramatic twists unfold when they discover the Hindu family still resides in the house and refuses to leave. Alongside Sunny Deol and Preity Zinta, ‘Lahore 1947’ will feature Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol in prominent roles.

It is believed that the makers are planning to release the film this year. On the other hand, Sunny Deol’s upcoming film will be the sequel to Border. ‘Border 2’, directed by JP Dutta, will feature Varun Dhawan, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in lead roles. ‘Border 2’ is scheduled for release on January 22, 2026.
