Actor Preity Zinta has shared a video clarifying if her name was ever 'Pritam Singh Zinta'. Taking to X on Thursday, the actor said that her name has always been Preity. She also revealed how on the set of her film Soldier (1998) her co-star Bobby Deol teasingly called her Pritam Singh Zinta. The actor added that since then people think it's her real name.

In the video, Preity said, "Hi everyone. I'm here because a lot of people keep asking me if Preity Zinta is my real name or is it Pritam Singh Zinta. So I just want to make it clear that Pritam Singh Zinta was never my name. I don't know how it has made it to Google and 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 Goodenough for me. So now I'm Preity G Zinta."

She also said, "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 Preity Zinta and wherever and whoever has put it out there that it was Pritam Singh Zinta I don't know it's just made up. I hope that clears everything. Bye."

Preity also added, "The movie became a blockbuster, our friendship flourished and since then Pritam Singh - the name is still stuck to me….. Bachaao (save me) (see-no-evil monkey emoji). So one last time folks - Pritam Singh was never my name. It’s always been Preity. Hope this clarifies everything once and for all.
