In a recent video, Preity Zinta revealed if 'Pritam Singh Zinta' is actually her real name. The diva also revealed the history behind this name.
Preity Zinta is one of the most talented actresses in Bollywood. The diva never skips a chance to win the hearts of her fans, courtesy of her acting skills, divine beauty, and more. From the very first film of her Dil Se…, Preity carved a space for herself in the hearts of her fans. Apart from that, her power-class acting performance in movies like Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Dil Chahta Hai, Dil Hai Tumhaara, and Armaan, among others, made her stand out from the crowd. However, it had been a long time since it was speculated that Preity's real name is Pritam Singh Zinta. And recently, the diva revealed if it's true.
Recently, Preity Zinta took to her social media handles and posted a selfie video. In the video, the diva can be seen looking beautiful as she was decked up in a black high-neck t-shirt. With open hair and soft makeup, she finalised her look. However, in the video, Preity revealed that she has been reading for years that her real name is Pritam Singh Zinta, which is actually untrue. The diva also added that after getting married to Gene Goodenough, she added a G to her name. Preity said:
"Hi everyone. I'm here because a lot of people keep asking me if Preity Zinta is my real name or is it Pritam Singh Zinta. So I just want to make it clear that Pritam Singh Zinta was never my name. I don't know how it has made it to Google and Wikipedia. My real name has always been Preity Zinta and now I have added a G to it, G for Goodenough. But since it's too long one G is Goodenough for me. So now I'm Preity G Zinta."

Preity Zinta, in the video, also jokingly added that she made sure to add a 'G' to her name in the end so that she doesn't sound like 'Preity Zinta G'. However, talking about her speculated real name, Preity shared that whoever has put the name out there completely made that up, and her name has always been Preity Zinta, and now it's Preity G Zinta. Preity added:
"I made sure I didn't add the G in the end otherwise it would have been Preity Zinta G. So it's just Preity G Zinta. I hope that makes it clear. So my name was always Preity Zinta and wherever and whoever has put it out there that it was Pritam Singh Zinta I don't know it's just made up. I hope that clears everything. Bye."
