Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 11 (ANI): Actor and Punjab Kings co-owner Preity Zinta addressed fans following the sudden cancellation of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Delhi Capitals (DC) at the Dharamshala stadium earlier this week.
The match was halted after just 10.1 overs due to security concerns related to the rising tensions between India and Pakistan along the border.

Thanking everyone who helped with the safe evacuation, the actress, in her tweet, wrote, "Finally back home after a crazy few days. A heartfelt thank you to Indian Railways and our Railway Minister Mr. Ashwini Vaishnaw for helping both IPL teams, officials, and families leave Dharamshala safely, swiftly, and comfortably. A big thank you to @JayShah, Mr. Arun Dhumal, BCCI, our CEO Mr. Satish Menon, and the operations team of @PunjabKingsIPL for coordinating the evacuation of our stadium in Dharamshala safely and in an orderly manner.
