In a horrific incident, Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta was harassed by a handicapped fan. In a video going viral, she was moving out and was captured by some paparazzi. Meanwhile, a fan reached out to her while she was entering her vehicle. As narrated by the former Bollywood actress, "I had a plane to catch & this disabled man kept trying to stop me. Over the years he has harassed me for money & I have given it to him when I could.
"This time when he asked for money I said sorry today I have no cash, just a credit card. The lady with me gave him some money from her purse. He threw it back at her cuz it wasn’t enough & started getting aggressive. As u can see he followed us for some time & got more aggressive.
"The photographers found this incident funny. Instead of helping us they filmed & laughed. NO ONE told him not to follow the car or harass us as anyone could have gotten hurt. Had there been an accident, I would have been blamed.My being a celebrity would have been questioned. Bollywood would have been blamed & a lot of negativity would have spread."
