Fair enough ; she didn't put anyone down. She chose to respond to that question without wanting to answer it. Instead injected herself into it and how vocal she is because she is an army kid when she's only as vocal as the next person about it. This has nothing to do with who is from where or where anyone was raised . People have been expressing support regardless. Yes her father was a major in the army. He didn't die in combat. He died in a car accident. Now that's not to say his life or as a result of the nature of his work the lives of her family was not stressful but she has not witnessed bloodshed or the toils of the army up close ,not in the context we are talking about. Comparing peacetime military life with soldiers who are in combat ,with their lives literally under threat is way out of line in a situation like this. Zinta is the queen of playing both sides. She wanted to engage the anti bollywood sentiment without actually having to address the double standards in the industry or pissing anyone off. But when it benefits her ,like when a movie is in the offing she's the raging patriot.
