Preity Zinta, co-owner of Punjab Kings, expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the team's supporters after a challenging IPL 2026 season. The team, which had been last year's finalists, ended the league in fifth place with 15 points, just shy of playoff qualification. Zinta described the season as a 'rollercoaster ride', acknowledging both the highs and lows experienced throughout the matches. She took to social media to thank fans for their love and support, making the journey feel more fulfilling. Despite the disappointment, the team started strong, winning their first six matches. In addition to her role with the Punjab Kings, Zinta is set to appear in the action-comedy film 'Vibe', scheduled for release on September 18, and will also star in 'Lahore 1947', a project highlighting historical events surrounding the partition of India.
