A few days ago, I caught an Instagram image of Preity Zinta with knitting wool below which was a simple line- Mommie feeling. Later, one read in the news that Preity Zinta and husband Gene Goodenough have welcomed twins Gia and Jai via surrogacy. The actor thanked everyone involved with the pregnancy, the doctors, the nurses and the surrogates for being part of this incredible journey.
It is big news but not enough noise was not made around it probably because Preity Zinta is herself not big news. I blame the media for being so ruthless. It is not easy being a star. It is not easy dealing with the highs and the lows. In fact, the biggest tragedy about stardom is that you are only as good as your last film and when the music stops, the newsprint will not waste a centimeter on you. There was a time however, when the media couldn’t stop talking about Zinta, her boyfriends, her past, everything except her films.
