Suchitra Krishnamoorthi says she hasn’t forgiven Preity Zinta yet

Recently, during an interview with Bollywood Thikana, the interviewee quoted Preity’s words to Suchitra, “I am the number one actress and you don’t even work, you are a homemaker. Suchitra, don’t talk to me like that. You need to see a psychiatrist, your mind is not in the right place.” Asked how did she take what Preity said about her, Suchitra said, “I didn’t have to take it. It’s a free world and she can say what she likes. I am very proud to be a homemaker. I was a full-time mom for 20 years and I am very proud of it.”

She added, “People are entitled to say whatever they want to say. Lies have speed and truth has stamina.”

In 2007, during an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Suchitra Krishnamoorthi had also challenged Preity Zinta to sue her if she thinks she is wrong. “She can say what she wants. If she thinks it’s not her and that I am wrong, she should sue me,” Suchitra was quoted as saying. After the fiasco, Preity was rumoured to have called Sucitra to apologise and even invited her and her daughter Kaveri to the premiere of her film Jaan-E-Mann. But Suchitra refused to go.

In the latest interview, Suchitra also said she has not yet forgiven Preity as she believes, “I don’t need to (forgive her). She is not a part of my consciousness at all. All these things do not exist for me, which is a good space to be in.” She agreed that Preity doesn’t exist for her anymore.

Preity Zinta is now married to Gene Goodenough. The couple became parents to twins in 2021.
