Giving time to her family was a priority

She said that she enjoyed the time away from films with her family. The actress also mentioned that she did not miss acting much.
According to Preity, giving birth to children and raising them is one of the most important experiences of her life.
Pairing up with Sunny Deol again
After a long break, Preity Zinta is returning to the screen with the film 'Batwara 1947'.
Interestingly, Sunny Deol will be opposite her in this film as well. She had earlier acted with Sunny Deol in the 2018 film 'Bhaiyaji Superhit'.
Apart from acting, she was involved in business
Even though she was away from cinema, Preity was not completely inactive. She has also made a name for herself as an entrepreneur.
After focusing on her personal life, family and business, this Bollywood star is now returning to the world of acting.
