Salman Khan Congratulates Preity Zinta, Internet Revives Viral “Tiger Zinda Hai” Trend

Actor Salman Khan has congratulated the cricket franchise Punjab Kings after their recent win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in an IPL match held on April 11, sparking a wave of nostalgic reactions and viral social media discussions.

In a post shared on X (formerly Twitter), Salman wrote, “Well done Preity. Congratulations Preity. Team is playing well... @realpreityzinta,” referring to actress and team co-owner Preity. His message came two days after the match but quickly gained attention online due to its timing and tone.

The post also revived an old 2014 tweet by Salman, in which he had asked, “Preity’s team won kya?” Fans resurfaced the earlier message, linking it to his latest congratulatory post and creating a wave of humorous comparisons across social media platforms.

Internet users reacted strongly, turning the exchange into a trending topic. Many referenced Salman’s popular “Tiger” film franchise, jokingly combining it with Preity’s name. Comments such as “Tiger Zinda Hai, but Tiger Zinta Hai is the real blockbuster sequel after 12 years” and “Tiger ko Zinta ki chinta hai” circulated widely, adding to the viral moment.

Salman and Preity share a long-standing professional relationship and have worked together in several films including Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Dil Ne Jise Apna Kahaa, Jaan-E-Mann, and Heroes, contributing to their enduring on-screen association.

On the professional front, Salman is next expected to appear in a film reportedly titled Maatrubhumi, which is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. However, reports suggest the film’s release has been postponed from its earlier April 17 schedule to a later date, likely August, due to post-production adjustments and reshoots aimed at improving the final output.
