Preity Zinta Gives a BOSS Reply to a Fan Asking Which IPL Player She Would “Steal”

The Punjab Kings have been the stars of the IPL 2026 season, as they have topped the league table with 13 points in 8 games. Although the team has suffered defeat in their recent game against the Rajasthan Royals, no one seems to stop talking about them. However, what distinguishes the team from its rivals is the consistency shown by none other than Preity Zinta, co-owner of PBKS. Her strong emotional attachment to the team was brought into light recently through a lively social media engagement.

Zinta spared some time for a spontaneous question-and-answer session with her followers on social media platforms, where she answered fans’ queries quite honestly.

The interaction gained particular traction when one fan suggested ‘stealing’ a player from another Indian Premier League team, prompting a swift and noteworthy response from Zinta that quickly grabbed everyone’s attention and sparked discussion.
