Actress Preity Zinta has shared her perspective on how Indian cinema continues to resonate with audiences living abroad.

She said that NRIs, particularly those in the US, often hold on to their Indian identity through films and entertainment. Speaking exclusively to IANS, Preity said that geographical boundaries do not change the emotional connection audiences have with Indian cinema. She stressed that filmmakers need to respect viewers’ time and money by offering them meaningful entertainment. “I think the audience is the same worldwide. You have to give them value for their money and their time. You cannot insult the audience by promising them something and giving them something else,” she said.
