Meanwhile, another user took the moment to ask Preity Zinta about her purview on romance films Bollywood is making today. Referring to the legendary filmmaker Yash Chopra, whose films were made of dreams, the user asked if those kinds of films can be ever made again. “I believe Bollywood romances died with Yashji. Is there any way we get to see a good Bollywood romance in today’s time?” To this, Preity replied, “I was thinking the same. Hopefully, some good writing & some new ideas will emerge from someone whose heart is in the right place. I’m waiting just like you.”
