Stop everything and head straight to Preity Zinta’s Instagram feed. The actress has shared a hilariously clarifying post about her “real” name. In the video, adorned in a black cowboy-neck outfit, Preity Zinta addresses the confusion surrounding her name, saying, “Hi everyone. So I’m here because a lot of people keep asking me if Preity Zinta is my real name or if it is Preetam Singh Zinta. So I just want to make it clear that Preetam Singh Zinta was never my name. I don’t know how it’s made to Google and how it’s made to Wikipedia. My real name has always been Preity Zinta. And now, I have added a G to it. G for Goodenough, but since it’s too long, one G is good enough for me. So now, I’m Preity G Zinta, and I made sure I didn’t add the G in the end. Otherwise, it would have been Preity Zinta G. So, it’s just Preity G Zinta. I hope that makes it clear. So my name was always Preeti, and wherever and whoever has put it out there that it was Preetam Singh Zinta, I don’t know, it’s just made up. I hope that clears everything. Bye.”

Alongside the video, Preity Zinta wrote, “Over the years I have consistently read in various media articles that I have changed my name from Preetam Singh Zinta to Preity Zinta. I have tried to set the record straight so many times by telling everyone that, on the sets of ‘Soldier,’ Bobby Deol called me Preetam Singh as a joke (pls ask him why he chose that name when you meet him). The movie became a blockbuster, our friendship flourished & since then Preetam Singh – the name is still stuck to me….. Bachaao. So one last time folks – Preetam Singh was NEVER my name. It’s always been Preity. Hope this clarifies everything once and for all
In response to the post, Bobby Deol said, “Preetam Singh, I gave you this name. It suits you, but sorry didn’t realize it would confuse people. I love you, my Preetam Singh.”
