Bollywood actress Preity Zinta recently tugged at the hearts of her fans with a nostalgic post on Instagram, offering a glimpse into a cherished moment with her twins, Jai and Gia. The beloved star, who is currently stationed in India due to the Indian Premier League (IPL), is feeling the absence of her little ones, who are in the United States.
On Friday, Preity took to her Instagram account to share an old but adorable snapshot that perfectly captured a loving family moment. The picture shows the actress beaming with pure joy while her children, Jai and Gia, affectionately plant kisses on her cheeks. In the photo, Preity is seen dressed in a striking black and saffron outfit, her arms wrapped tightly around her twins as they shower her with cuddles and love. To maintain their privacy, Preity thoughtfully edited the image by placing heart-shaped emojis over her children’s faces, keeping the moment intimate yet protected.
Along with the picture, Preity penned a touching caption that revealed just how much she’s longing to be reunited with her kids. She wrote, “Home is where the heart is & right now, I’m definitely missing home! Counting the days before I see them” — adding heart and heart-eye emojis, as well as her signature “#Ting.” The actress also geo-tagged the post as “My Happy Place,” a sweet nod to where her heart truly lies.
The post immediately resonated with fans, who filled the comments section with heartfelt wishes and loving messages. One user wrote, “Awwww. I hope you see them soon — I’m sure they are missing you even more!” Another admirer gushed, “This is absolutely adorable! You can feel the warmth and love in this picture. Those tiny hugs will be waiting for you — can’t wait for the day you all reunite!”
Preity’s post serves as a reminder of how precious family bonds are, especially for parents managing work commitments far from their children. While the IPL season keeps her occupied — as she continues her role as co-owner of the Punjab Kings franchise — it’s clear that her heart remains anchored to her twins across the globe.
Preity Zinta has always kept her personal life relatively private, but she often shares glimpses of her family and life updates with her fans on social media. The actress married Gene Goodenough in 2016, and in November 2021, the couple welcomed their twins, Jai and Gia, into their lives via surrogacy.
While she’s a hands-on mother, Preity is also balancing her professional life. Apart from her cricket franchise duties, she’s preparing to make her much-awaited return to Bollywood. Preity will soon be seen in Lahore 1947, directed by veteran filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi. The film has generated buzz not only for Preity’s comeback but also for its stellar cast, which includes Sunny Deol, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal, and Karan Deol.
The project marks her first major screen appearance after a significant break. She was last seen opposite Sunny Deol in the 2018 action-comedy Bhaiaji Superhit. Since then, apart from a brief cameo in the American sitcom Fresh Off The Boat, Preity has largely stayed away from films, focusing instead on family life and her business ventures.
Now, as she awaits both her reunion with her children and her return to the silver screen, Preity Zinta continues to win hearts — both as a doting mother and as a beloved actress.
