Preity Zinta’s "now pls come for a game" reply to Salman Khan turns their IPL banter into a viral moment

Sometimes, the internet just loves a good throwback, and this one came with a dose of Bollywood nostalgia. When Salman Khan recently congratulated Preity Zinta for Punjab Kings’ win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League, fans didn’t just celebrate the victory; they revisited history. Within minutes, social media users dug out Salman’s iconic 2014 tweet, “Zinta’s team won kya?”, a line that had gone viral long before memes ruled timelines. Fast forward to now, and his recent “Well done Zinta” message felt like a sequel no one knew they needed.

Preity Zinta’s Warm and Playful Reply

What truly sealed the moment was Preity’s response. The actress and team co-owner didn’t just acknowledge Salman’s post, she turned it into a sweet, playful exchange.

Replying to him on X, she wrote, “Thank you, Salman. All credit to Captain, Coach & the team and some to you too. Love u loads! Now pls come for a game.”

It was equal parts gratitude and affection, reflecting a bond that goes beyond public interactions. Her reply instantly caught attention, with fans loving the easy camaraderie between the two stars.

Preity also shared glimpses from a past meeting with the team, including Shreyas Iyer, Yuzvendra Chahal, and Shashank Singh, during their visit to the sets of Bigg Boss 18, hosted by Salman.

Beyond Tweets: IPL Passion and Bollywood Bond

For Preity, cricket isn’t just a side note; it’s a long-standing passion. As the face and force behind Punjab Kings, she has been one of the most visible and dedicated team owners in the IPL. Her presence in the stands, her energy, and her loyalty to the team have become part of the league’s charm.

Her bond with Salman, meanwhile, dates back years of working together in films like Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, and Jaan-E-Mann. Their off-screen friendship has always had a light, easy rhythm, and this recent exchange is just another reminder of that comfort.

What started as a simple congratulatory tweet turned into a full-circle moment, blending cricket, cinema, and a dash of old-school Bollywood warmth. And if fans have their way, this social media “sequel” might just keep getting better.
