Preity Zinta Fumes at Being Called ‘Punjab Kings’ Trophy

Preity Zinta’s response to a social media comment has put her in the headlines. The co-owner of Punjab Kings made it clear that women are not anyone’s “trophy.” In IPL 2026, Punjab Kings are performing brilliantly and have remained undefeated so far. Recently, the team showcased its strength by successfully chasing a massive target of 265 runs against the Delhi Capitals. Preity Zinta is extremely happy with the team’s success and is frequently seen supporting them in the stadium.
Meanwhile, a user on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter) jokingly wrote that Preity Zinta couldn’t win a trophy because “she herself is a trophy.” To this, Preity replied in very measured words:
“Thank you, that’s sweet, but no woman would want to become a trophy. Trophies are owned, women are not. Trophies are kept in cupboards, whereas a woman’s place is in the heart and in life.”
