Preity talks about her ‘real name’
In the video, Preity said, "Hi everyone. I'm here because a lot of people keep asking me if Preity Zinta is my real name or is it Pritam Singh Zinta. So I just want to make it clear that Pritam Singh Zinta was never my name. I don't know how it has made it to Google and Wikipedia. My real name has always been Preity Zinta and now I have added a G to it, G for Goodenough. But since it's too long one G is Goodenough for me. So now I'm Preity G Zinta."
She also said, "I made sure I didn't add the G in the end otherwise it would have been Preity Zinta G. So it's just Preity G Zinta. I hope that makes it clear. So my name was always Preity Zinta and wherever and whoever has put it out there that it was Pritam Singh Zinta I don't know it's just made up. I hope that clears everything. Bye."

She captioned the post, "Over the years I have consistently read in various media articles that I have changed my name from Pritam Singh Zinta to Preity Zinta. I have tried to set the record straight so many times by telling everyone that, on the sets of Soldier @thedeol called me Pritam Singh as a joke (please ask him why he chose that name when you meet him)."

Bachaao (save me) (see-no-evil monkey emoji). So one last time folks - Pritam Singh was never my name. It’s always been Preity. Hope this clarifies everything once and for all. #Ting #Factcheck #PreityGZinta #PreityZinta #LordBobbyDeol."
