Preity Zinta has hit back at a paparazzi page for claiming she ignored Aamir Khan at a promotional event for Batwara 1947. The page, Filmy Galaxy, posted a video showing Preity stepping out of her van and walking past Aamir, captioning it, 'Oh no, Preity Zinta ignored Aamir Khan?' In a comment, Preity called it 'clickbait content' and said she did not see Aamir as she was rushing for shots and a flight. She added, 'I have a LOT of love & respect for Aamir.' Batwara 1947, directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and produced by Aamir Khan, marks Preity's return to the big screen after eight years. Set in Lahore during Partition, it releases on August 14. Preity told Hindustan Times she did not miss acting during her break, calling her greatest milestone having children.
