The veteran actor showed an old tweet addressed to her that read: 'Preity Zinta whereever you are, since you have refused to reply to my sms...ha ha...a very happy birthday.' Preity countered with a cheeky explanation: she does reply, but always a week late. The exchange happened as Preity and Sunny Deol promoted their upcoming film *Batwara 1947*, a Partition-era drama produced by Aamir Khan. Preity returns to the big screen after nearly five years. She and Amitabh have shared screen space in films such as *Mohabbatein* and *Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna*. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - timesnownews.com Tags: Amitabh Bachchan, Batwara 1947, Bollywood, KBC, Preity Zinta, Sunny Deol Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/amitabh-bachchan-confronts-preity-zinta-on-kbc-over-birthday-wishes/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
