“Zinta’s Team Won Kya?”: Salman Khan’s Congratulations to Punjab Kings Goes Viral
The internet is having a major throwback moment after Salman Khan took to social media to celebrate Preity Zinta’s Punjab Kings (PBKS) following their recent victory. The shout-out has reignited memories of one of the most famous tweets in Indian social media history.
The Tweet That Came Full Circle
Back in 2014, Salman famously posted the short, candid question: “Zinta’s team won kya?” For over a decade, the tweet has been a staple of “IPL meme culture.” On Monday, following Punjab Kings’ six-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on April 11, Salman finally provided the answer fans were waiting for.
He tweeted: “Well done Zinta, Congratulations Zinta, Team is playing well …. @realpreityzinta.”
The response from fans was instantaneous, with many joking that the “sequel” to the 2014 tweet took 12 years to arrive. Popular reactions included, “Tiger Zinta hai,” and “We got Salman recreating his tweet before GTA 6.”
On-Field Heroics
The victory that sparked the exchange was a dominant performance by PBKS. Chasing a target against SRH, the team was powered by half-centuries from:
- Skipper Shreyas Iyer: 69 runs
- Priyansh Arya: 57 runs
- Prabhsimran Singh: 51 runs
Update on Maatrubhumi and Lahore 1947
While Salman celebrates his Chori Chori Chupke Chupke co-star’s win, both actors are busy with high-profile projects:
- Salman Khan: His upcoming film, now titled Maatrubhumi, has undergone significant changes. Originally titled Battle of Galwan, recent reports suggest the film is being extensively reshot to remove specific references to China and the 2020 Galwan Valley clash following international controversy.
- Preity Zinta: The actor is making a major cinematic comeback. She will star in Rajkumar Santoshi’s Lahore 1947 alongside Sunny Deol, featuring music by A.R. Rahman. Additionally, she is set to appear in Vibe, a new project directed by her co-star Kunal Kemmu.
Salman and Preity’s enduring friendship continues to be a highlight for fans, proving that whether on the big screen or the cricket pitch, their bond remains “everyday.”
