Now, Preity has spilled the beans! In an interactive fan session on X (formerly Twitter), the ‘Veer-Zaara’ actress revealed the backstory: she and Virat were proudly showing off pictures of their kids.

“We were showing each other pictures of our children and talking about them! Time does fly… When I first met Virat 18 years ago, he was a spirited teenager buzzing with talent & fire – today he still has that fire & is an icon & a very sweet & doting father,” Preity wrote.

Fans couldn’t get enough of the heartwarming update, and Preity seemed to be in an especially playful mood during the chat. When someone asked if it was true that she cooks parathas for the Punjab Kings whenever they win — a rumour that’s been making rounds in memes — Preity laughed it off and replied, “No, but according to the memes, I do.”

Meanwhile, the Punjab Kings are holding strong at fifth place on the points table as the tournament heats up. Their next big challenge? An exciting clash with the Chennai Super Kings at Chepauk Stadium on Wednesday.
