Actress Preity Zinta is currently enjoying a visit to her hometown Shimla, along with her husband Gene Goodenough, and their children Jai and Gia, taking a break from their fast-paced and chaotic everyday life. She recently posted a few photos of herself attempting to light a traditional "Chulha", commonly used in the hills.

The actress shared the pictures via her Instagram handle writing, "Re living old memories & making new ones. All the action revolves around the kitchen in pahadi homes. Here I’m trying to light the fire & bring the rarely used old school chulha to life ❤️"



The photos show Preity Zinta donning a salwar suit, a sweater, and a scarf covering her head while sitting beside the Chulha, attempting to light the fire and cook.

The fans are applauding her simplicity and her to-the-roots connection with comments like, "Himachali Kudi" which means Himachali girl, "connected to the roots," and others.


Earlier, the Bollywood actress had shared a reel of her visit to Hateshwari Mata temple in Hatkoti, Shimla writing, "When I was a little girl I often visited the Hateshwari Mata temple in Hatkoti, Shimla - Himachal Pradesh. This temple has played a big role in my childhood & I’ve always felt very connected to it. Now that I’m a mother its only natural that the first temple my kids visited was this incredible & ancient temple. Here’s a sneak peek of our visit. I’m sure Jai & Gia will not remember this trip so we will have to come back again ❤️��"

Preity Zinta currently lives in the United States with her family. However, she recently returned to India during the Indian Premier League season.
