Preity Zinta and Shah Rukh Khan
Preity Zinta did an impromptu chat with her followers on X(formerly Twitter) on Friday morning. She was seen answering various questions from her fans on the platform. During the chat, the actress recalled slapping Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of the 2006 film 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna'. The film directed by Karan Johar also starred Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and Kirron Kher. Preity and SRK played a married couple in the movie who are going through a tough time holding their relationship together.
On Friday, Preity Zinta was seen responding to her tweet from 2015. The old post read, "In Kya kehna I slapped d Vice principle so hard dat when the director said cut he screamed-even if it's not ok Its ok. Have U seen her hand".
Responding to it a decade later, the actress confirmed it once again and said, "Yes it's true. I was very new to acting & didn't understand how to time my slap, so it would look real on film, but had no contact. I never made that mistake again but maybe it was "filmy karma" so I ended up getting slapped on film many times, by trained actors & it was not pretty !"
