Soldier actress Preity Zinta took out a moment to relive her childhood memories by visiting her family farm in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh.
“I was so excited to see apple trees after so long that the minute it stopped raining I ran out and made this video. Glad I did so because minutes after it was pouring again. Going back home to our family farm during apple season after so many years was an emotional and exhilarating experience. Growing up, this place was dominated by the larger than life presence of my Grandfather, Grandmother and Rajinder Mamaji and Uma Mamiji. We spent the best days of my childhood her,” she wrote on Instagram.
Recalling her childhood days, Preity added, “Apple season was always special. So many rules. No eating in the grading halls, no disturbing or distracting the labour that diligently plucked apples in special baskets called Kiltas, no playing with apples or throwing them around etc. My favourite part was apple plucking and collecting the largest and the smallest apples of the season and of course glasses of freshly squeezed apple juice.”
Alongside the nostalgic note, the ‘Dil Se..’ star posted a video of her showing her apple orchard.
