After days when the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) was stopped midway at Dharamsala, amid India-Pakistan escalating tensions, Bollywood actor and PBKS franchise co-owner Preity Zinta shared a note about the experience of that day on Sunday, May 11.
The 'Veer Zara' actress spoke her heart out in a post she shared on her X (formerly called Twitter). The unexpected situation occurred last Thursday, May 8, during the thrilling clash between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC).
The match was cancelled midway at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala after 10.1 overs.
On Sunday, the PBKS co-owner took to her Twitter account to express her thoughts and thanked the fans for being calm and not panicking at the situation.
Apart from this, she also apologised for being 'curt' with them at the moment. Her X post read, ¡°Finally back home after a crazy last few days. A heartfelt thank you to Indian Railways & our railway minister Mr Ashwini Vaishnaw for helping both IPL teams and all officials & families leave Dharamshala in a safe, swift & comfortable way. A big thank you to @JayShah, Mr Arun Dhumal, BCCI & our CEO Mr Satish Menon & the Operations team of @PunjabKingsIPL for helping co coordinate the evacuation of our stadium in Dharamshala safely & in an orderly manner. Everything was handled so well.¡±
The actor went on to add that the fans present in the stadium were absolute rockstars, and she is sorry for being a big curt and saying no to the pictures with everyone, but the need of the hour was the safety of everyone. She mentioned that it was her duty and responsibility to ensure that everyone was safe there.
"I¡¯m sorry I was a bit curt & said no to pictures with everyone, but the need of the hour was the safety of everyone and it was my duty & responsibility to make sure everyone stayed safe. Thank you for making it possible Love you all Ting !"
The 58th match of IPL 2025 between PBKS and DC was abruptly cancelled midway after air raid alerts in neighbouring cities of Jammu and Pathankot were reported.
However, as earlier reported, fans appreciated how smartly the IPL association moved everyone out of the stadium without even panicking them. Additionally, in the videos that surfaced on social media on Thursday, Preity Zinta was seen requesting the audience to leave the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium after the announcement was made.?
