Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta is the latest celebrity to join the Barbie trend. Even though she is a little late to the Barbie party, Zinta knows how to ace a trend. The actress took to her Instagram feed on Monday to share a BTS video of her at a Barbie-inspired photoshoot.
In the video, Preity is seen sitting on a bed in a pink theme room. From the walls, table lamps, bedsheet, rugs, phone and every other element in the room was in the colour pink. She is also seen posing with a pink phone and flashing her infectious smile. Preity wore a pink dress with bouncy frills and silver heels. She also jumps on the bed and lands softly on the mattress and gives a smile to the camera. Preity added the song Barbie Girl by Aqua as the background track.
Sharing the clip, Preity wrote, "Channeling my inner Barbie (sparkling heart emoji) Did this fun shoot some time ago & couldn't resist posting it after seeing #Barbie this weekend. LOVED the movie & the fact that the theatre was mostly Pink (sparkling heart emoji). So much fun watching a movie after so long. #Barbiethemovie #Movieweekend #Ting."
