Netizens Slams Preity Zinta on Social Media for Ignoring a Beggar
Preity Zinta, the Bollywood actress, has come under heavy criticism on social media for allegedly misbehaving with a crippled beggar who approached her car for money. The incident took place while the actress was in town for her work commitments, and the paparazzi spotted her at the location and clicked her pictures.
The video shows Preity Zinta telling the paparazzi that she is running late and can’t wait for pictures. While leaving, a beggar in a wheelchair approached her car to beg for money, but the actress ignored him and closed the window. The beggar followed her car to the center of the road, but his persistence didn’t pay off.
This incident has not gone down well with netizens who have criticized the actress for her behavior toward the beggar. Social media is flooded with harsh comments for the “Kal Ho Na Ho” actress. One user wrote, “Team kharidne ke lie 100 cr hongey inke zeb mai par ek garib ko 100 rupay nhi de sakte…” (“They will have 100 crores in their pockets to buy a team, but they can’t even give 100 rupees to a beggar.”).
Another user wrote, “She shouldn’t have denied him money.” A third user commented, “This looks horrible.”
Preity Zinta was last spotted at the pre-Oscars party with her husband Gene Goodenough, where she left everyone awestruck with her flawless red gown, according to reports by Etimes.
It is not the first time that a celebrity has been accused of behaving rudely with a beggar. In the past, several incidents have been reported where celebrities have been accused of such behavior. However, it is important to understand that being a celebrity does not give anyone the right to be disrespectful towards anyone, let alone beggars.
Beggars are one of the most marginalized sections of society, and they often face a lot of discrimination and abuse from the privileged sections. They are deprived of basic human rights, such as access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. Begging is often a last resort for these people, who have no other means to survive. It is a sad reality that a significant portion of the Indian population lives below the poverty line, and begging is the only option left for them.
The issue of begging has always been a controversial one in India, with the government often taking a hard stance on the matter. Several states in the country have banned begging, and those caught begging can be arrested and prosecuted.
This approach has been criticized by human rights activists, who argue that begging is a symptom of a larger problem of poverty and inequality.
In such a scenario, it is important for celebrities and other privileged sections of society to show compassion towards beggars and not treat them with disrespect or disdain. Celebrities have a huge following, and their actions can influence a lot of people. Therefore, they should use their position to raise awareness about the issues faced by beggars and other marginalized sections of society.
Moreover, it is important for the government and civil society to work towards providing better living conditions for beggars and other marginalized sections of society. This can be done by providing them with access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. The government can also provide financial assistance and support for their rehabilitation and integration into mainstream society.

The incident involving Preity Zinta and the beggar highlights the need for greater compassion and empathy towards marginalized sections of society. While celebrities are entitled to their privacy, they should not use their position to mistreat or disrespect anyone. It is important for all of us to remember that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity and respect, irrespective of their social status or background.
