Zinta thanked all the doctors and nurses who took care of her family during their Covid-19 recovery. "I’m so grateful to the almighty and to all those wonderful doctors & nurses that worked tireless to take care of them," she wrote.
The 45-year-old actress, who is also the owner of IPL team Kings XI Punjab, also urged people to take the virus seriously and not let their guard down when it came to taking precautions like wearing a mask and and maintaining social distance. "This can become dangerous overnight so please take care," Zinta warned.

Zinta moved to Los Angeles after her marriage to Goodenough in 2016. However, the 'Veer-Zaara' actress frequently visits India. Zinta owns Kings XI IPL cricket team which she bought in 2008.
The ‘Kya Kehna’ actress was last seen in director Neeraj Pathak's action-comedy 'Bhaiaji Superhit' which hit the silver screens in 2018.
Preity Zinta reportedly was out of line with Virender Sehwag, questioning him about tactics after a defeat. Rare is the team boss that does not interfere in matters, or is completely free of controversy.
