Wheelchair-bound man chases Preity Zinta's car after she refused to pull over; viral video receives mixed reactions

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta recently faced the wrath of the internet after she unintentionally refused to acknowledge a wheelchair-bound fan in the city. The actress who is based in Los Angeles with her family recently arrived in India to support her Punjab Kings in the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League. However, no matter how hard celebrities try to avoid the media, the eagle-eyed paps still manage to know about their whereabouts and happen to reach even the weirdest place. This too happened with Zinta who went out for a quick salon session before taking a flight but was surrounded by the media personnel.

While she tried avoiding interacting with the paps or her fans in a hurry, it was a specially-abled man, seemingly a fan who was seen approaching the actress, only to be avoided straightaway. As Preity quickly made her way into her car to get moving, the man was seen chasing her car on the road. Neither the actress acknowledged the man nor her car pulled over, which has now left the internet fuming over her ‘insensitive’ behaviour.
