Preity Zinta donates Rs 1.10 crore to help Army widows, children after Op Sindoor

Actor Preity Zinta has contributed Rs 1.10 crore to the Army Wives Welfare Association (AWWA) of the Indian Army's South Western Command. This heartfelt gesture came soon after India’s Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.

The contribution, made from Zinta’s share of Punjab Kings' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) fund, aims to empower Veer Naris (war widows) and support the education of their children, according to a release.

At an event held in Jaipur on Saturday, May 24, which was attended by the Army Commander of the South Western Command, the Regional President of Shapta Shakti AWWA, and several Army families, Preity Zinta shared her heartfelt appreciation for the Indian



armed forces.

She said, “It’s both an honour and a responsibility to support the courageous families of our soldiers. While we can never fully repay the sacrifices made by our armed forces, we can stand beside their families and help them move forward.”

She added, “We are incredibly proud of our soldiers and remain steadfast in our support for the nation and its brave protectors.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, the actor is all set to make her big-screen comeback with the highly anticipated film ‘Lahore 1947’, where she stars opposite Sunny Deol. Produced by Aamir Khan and set against the backdrop of India’s partition, the film marks her significant return after a prolonged break from cinema.
