Preity Zinta also interacted with the fan over the phone and spoke her mind. She was like, “Mujhe bhi thodi tension ho rahi thi.” Later, she added in a light tone, “Iss baar aapko helmet pehnayenge, agar koi ball aaye toh aap safe and secure rahe.”

The fan seemed to enjoy and he told her, 'The ball hit my face just above my eye but it is all good, did not affect my vision.' He also thanked the two players for their concern.
