MUMBAI: Preity Zinta is one of the most well-known Bollywood actresses of the 2000s. She has sparked the occasional controversy. She was the recipient of the Godfrey Phillips National Bravery Award for not retracting her statements during the Bharat Shah case.
During the case hearing, the actress had revealed that she received threatening calls from the underworld while she was shooting for the film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. While several celebrities like Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Sanjay Gupta, and Mahesh Manjrekar retracted their earlier statements, she stuck to her statement.
The diva revealed that she received a call from a man who said, “Main bhai ka aadmi Razak bol raha hoon aur mujhe 50 lakh chahiye.” Her statement was recorded in-camera with only defence lawyers allowed to be present in the court along with the accused, Bharat Shah and Nazim Rizvi.
