Earlier today, Preity Zinta took to Instagram to share a heartwarming album of family photos, celebrating Father’s Day. The pictures featured her adorable twins, Gia and Jai, along with her husband, Gene Goodenough. The ‘Soldier’ actress expressed her pride in Gene for being an exceptional father to their children. She wrote, “Happy Father’s Day to all the wonderful fathers out there. I’m so proud of my better half for being such an amazing father to our kids. I’m sure he will help raise our kids to be strong and independent, just like my father did. I miss you papa today & always.”
In the photos, Gene is seen taking on his fatherly duties with great enthusiasm. One picture shows Gia sitting on Gene’s shoulders, getting a better view of the animals at the zoo. Preity, wearing a blue hat and sunglasses, smiles for the camera in a selfie. Another picture captures Gia using binoculars to get a closer look at the giraffes while perched on her dad’s shoulders. The final image is a nostalgic black-and-white photo of Preity as a baby, receiving a kiss on the cheek from her late father, Durganand Zinta.
Preity’s heartfelt post not only celebrated Gene’s role as a father but also paid tribute to her own father, whom she dearly misses. The actress’s emotional message resonated with many of her followers, who appreciated her candidness and the beautiful family moments she shared.
Preity Zinta and Gene Goodenough tied the knot on February 29, 2016, in the United States. The couple welcomed their twins, Jai and Gia, in 2021. Since then, Preity has been living in Los Angeles, balancing her personal life with her professional commitments. She was recently in India to support her team, Punjab Kings, during the Indian Premier League. Fans were thrilled to see her at the matches, especially when her team played against Shah Rukh Khan’s Kolkata Knight Riders, sparking hopes for a ‘Veer Zaara’ reunion on screen.
In a recent interview with DD India, Preity opened up about her six-year hiatus from acting. She explained that she chose to focus on her business ventures and personal life during this period. Preity emphasized that while acting is important to her, she also had to consider her biological clock and her desire to start a family. She noted that she had never dated anyone within the industry, making it a logical step for her to prioritize her personal life.
Preity expressed her enthusiasm for her business ventures, which provided her with new opportunities to explore. However, her primary focus remained on nurturing her personal life. She didn’t want to become an accomplished actor at the expense of becoming a lonely person. Preity acknowledged that many people advised her that she would miss various opportunities, but she laughed about it now, admitting that it was true and relevant to every working woman.
On the professional front, Preity is gearing up for her upcoming film ‘Lahore 1947,’ where she will share the screen with Sunny Deol. Produced by Rajkumar Santoshi, the movie is set to release later this year. Fans are eagerly awaiting her return to the big screen, excited to see her in a new role.
Preity’s Father’s Day post not only highlighted her pride in Gene as a father but also showcased the strong bond she shares with her family. Her heartfelt message and the beautiful family moments she shared resonated with many, making it a memorable Father’s Day celebration.
