What Salman calls Preity

Fans have fun questions and we like when stars get candid!
 
For instance a fan asked Preity Zinta why Salman Khan calls her Zinta. The actor replied back, 'I think cuz he treats me more as his buddy and less as his heroine. I think this might be the reason. I think u should ask him.'

She also narrated, 'When I was a kid I'd speak really fast without any pauses :-) so mum used to worry even then that I was 2 hyper !'  and how she's really not against the BCCI, ' I don't have anything against the Bcci. I just wanted my name cleared as it was being projected that WE had done some scam !'
 
Talking of winning her case, Zinta says she's happy, 'Now my mom can finally smile ! Seeing her stressed through all this broke my heart. She's all I have & I NEVER wanna C her Sad! Thank U God! KXIP has won in front of the Divisional Bench also ! Thank you once again 4 all your support and love and thank you 2 r wonderful lawyers !'
