Preity Zinta to return to India to vote

Preity Zinta is to travel back from South Africa in order to vote in the Indian elections this month.

The actress will spend just one day in India to cast her political ballot, but said that it is time well spent to set a good example to her fans.

She said: "It doesn't matter if I am only able to spend one day in Mumbai… I will be here on the day of voting."

The Jhoom Barabar Jhoom star added that everyone should exercise their right to vote and make an "informed choice".

Preity, who co-owns cricket team Kings XI Punjab with boyfriend Ness Wadia, is currently in South Africa for the Indian Premier League cricket competition.
