Preity Zinta's fans also reacted to the post. A user commented, "It's kind of horrible to hear that someone tried to grab and kiss your children. No humanity left. Celebrity or no celebrity people work hard to achieve what they have ." Another wrote, "This is pure harassment. Hats off how you carried yourself... I feel you, I hear you totally."
