Fed up with responding to queries about her family background, actress Preity Zinta has finally revealed her British connection.
"Some people think I'm south Indian, while some feel I'm a Muslim. There have also been fans who have asked me whether I hail from Himachal Pradesh," said Preity in a press statement.

The actress has reportedly signed a film with her "Dil Chahta Hai" co-star Aamir Khan to be made under the Yash Raj banner.
