Preity Zinta all set for a comeback

Preity Zinta was last seen on the big screen in Bhaiyyaji Superhit which released in 2018. The movie was in the making from the past many years and after getting delayed multiple times it released last year. The movie failed to create any buzz at the box office. However, now Preity Zinta fans have a reason to rejoice as the actress is all set for a proper comeback.

Before Bhaiyyaji Superhit, Preity was seen in 2013 release Ishkq in Paris which was also delayed multiple times because director Prem Raj was diagnosed with cancer when the post-production of the film was going on.


According to a report in a daily, Preity is all set to make her comeback with a film produced by Ashutosh Gowariker and it will be directed by one of his assistants. The film will also star Paresh Rawal as Preity’s father-in-law and it will be a comedy flick about a daughter-in-law and her father-in-law.

A source said, “Preity has a good sense of comedy, and if Bhaiyyaji had been promoted better… it wasn’t a bad film. But the delay in the release of both her last ventures went against her. But hopefully this time around, she would have a better film and release.”

The actress was at the peak of her career in early 2000 with starring in back-to-back hits like Koi Mill Gaya, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer Zaara, Salaam Namaste, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and others. But soon, Preity’s career went downwards and she decided to take a break from the big screen. Well, we are sure fans of Preity have missed her a lot, and can’t wait to watch her on the big screen in a good film.

On the personal front, Preity tied the knot with Gene Goodenough in the year 2016. She had organised a lavish wedding reception in Mumbai which was attended by many big Bollywood stars.

National Trust pledges equality in access to nature and heritage

THE National Trust – which wants more Eastern Eye readers to visit its properties, apply for jobs with the organisation, become curators and offer to become volunteers – is marking its 130th anniversary by announcing an ambitious 10-year plan “to end unequal access to nature, beauty and history”.

The trust, it emphasised, “is for everyone”. Its director general, Hilary McGrady, said: “For 130 years, the National Trust has responded to the crises and challenges of the time. Today, nature is declining before our eyes and climate change is threatening homes and habitats on a colossal scale. Meanwhile, millions of people can’t enjoy the benefits that green space and heritage bring.”

The involvement of major powers in proxy wars and rising social and economic inequalities have deepened divisions and prolonged suffering, with many losing belief in humanity. The rapid social and political shifts – home and abroad – will continue to challenge our values and resilience in 2025 and beyond.
