Preity Zinta has had enough of her privacy being invaded, particularly when she is seeking serenity. The star was on a visit to Shirdi recently, and very upset with the media for hassling her on the trip.

Preity posted on her Twitter page today (March 3), “Went to Shirdi yesterday and came back with memories of media pushing me instead of the serene face & energy of Sai Baba! I wonder why temples have become so commercial ? Why A temple trustee’s urge 2 b photographed with a celebrity is entertained by the media?”

Preity added, “In front of God we bare ourselves and look to purify our soul. Instead of feeling uplifted i came back feeling sad & deprived from Shirdi.”

She came down hard on the media, writing, “In the rut to make anything news have we forgotten to respect God and someone’s genuine devotion? I fold my hands to the media & request them 2 Respect us & respect GOD! Not every celebrity goes 2 a temple 4 Tamasha! Some genuinely go 2 pray & 2 disturb them then is BAD KARMA!”

The star did calm down later, adding, “Maybe this experience was his way of taking away all the negativity; & 4 the future I have brought his statue home from Shirdi ! :-) Ting!”
