"I'm coming after a long time, I'm happy to be here," the actress gushed as she spoke to Brut on the red carpet. For the big moment, <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/preity-zinta-visits-kamakhya-devi-temple-in-guwahati-after-pbks-vs-rr-match-shares-video-23279888" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Preity Zinta</a> chose a timeless saree. She was seen wearing a pink embellished saree crafted by designer Seema Gujral. "A little understated," she called it, but Preity looked gorgeous nonetheless. However, while Preity talked to Brut with a smile on her face, netizens were of the opinion that her accent was feeling rather 'American.'
One user wrote, "What happened to her accent? For once, why can&rsquo;t they define the place from which they come! Wearing a saree symbolizing Indian authenticity but the accent!"
Another defended the<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/photo/19-years-of-kal-ho-naa-ho-karan-johar-shares-bts-moments-with-shah-rukh-khan-preity-zinta-and-saif-ali-khan-94436/5" target="_blank" rel="none noopener"> Kal Ho Naa Ho</a> actress and stated, "People criticizing someone speaking Hindi in an English accent is understandable, but what's wrong here...&nbsp; Her husband is a foreigner, thus this accent. Or even if she wouldn't have married a foreigner, speaking English in an English accent isn't wrong. She's an Indian, wore Indian attire to represent India. We should focus on the positive aspects rather than finding fault in EVERYTHING."
Another fan said, "She's been living in America with her American husband for a long time. People should stop judging her accent. Also, she&rsquo;s not speaking to Indian media, so it&rsquo;s important for her to communicate in a way they understand. To those who are judging: Don't forget we are Indians, and we are talented enough to learn many other languages and accents. So, LIVE and let LIVE."
"I am perplexed as to why Indians modify their accents when in foreign lands, engaging with natives. It comes across as disingenuous. Why cannot they retain their genuine selves?" pondered another user.
