Preity Zinta Gives A Tour Of Her Apple Orchard In Shimla

Preity Zinta recently completed 23 years in Bollywood and the actress got a bit emotional on realising that. She even posted a beautiful video on social media which was a compilation of all her memorable parts. After spending the past few months in Mumbai, Preity has now jetted off to Shimla, her hometown. The actress shared an adorable video from there where she is seen taking all her social media followers on a round of her apple orchard. She is seen glowing with pride as she calls herself a farmer and recalls the time she spent there while growing up.

The actress captioned the post as, “I was so excited to see apple trees after so long that the minute it stopped raining I ran out and made this video. Glad I did so cuz minutes after it was pouring again. Going back home to our family farm during apple season after so many years was an emotional & exhilarating experience. Growing up, this place was dominated by the larger than life presence of my Grandfather, Grandmother and Rajinder Mamaji & Uma Mamiji. We spent the best days of my childhood here. Apple season was always special. So many rules. No eating in the grading halls, no disturbing or distracting the labour that diligently plucked apples in special baskets called Kiltas, no playing with apples or throwing them around etc. My fav part was apple plucking & collecting the largest and the smallest apples of the season & of course glasses of freshly squeezed apple juice. Two years ago, I officially became a farmer & am so proud to be part of the farming community of the apple belt of Himachal Pradesh. Here’s a shout out to Himachal Apples that are the best apples in the world. I’m super stoked & proud of how well everything is maintained in all the farms given the covid situation, shortage of labour etc... I’m also extremely proud of my brother for going completely organic & replanting our orchard with organic apple trees. #Ting #Appleorchards #farmlife #familytime #proudhimachali”

Yes they are the closest tasting to the most popular Kashmiri Apples which was what we used to get, growing up in India. But after coming to US I was bombarded with the apple atrocity called ‘Red Delicious’ which basically have a texture like rubber and taste like umm, tasteless.😳 . I eventually lost taste for the apples until I discovered ‘Gala Apples’. Though I found it hilarious that now in India they import Red Delicious from US and are the most sought after variety there. You literally find them everywhere in the market and homes. 🤔😆

In India mostly I have had the ones which tastes like paste and aren't crispy. Apple + peanut butter = yummy summer snack.
