Preity Zinta gives a glimpse of her apple orchard in Shimla; recalls spending her childhood days – Times of India

Away from the frenetic pace and chaos of everyday life, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has escaped into the nature’s haven of Shimla. The actress took to her Instagram handle to share a glimpse of her apple orchard in the city. Sharing a video of her excited self, the actress wrote, “I was so excited to see apple trees after so long that the minute it stopped raining I ran out and made this video. Glad I did so cuz minutes after it was pouring again ⛈”

She also added, “Going back home to our family farm during apple season after so many years was an emotional & exhilarating experience. Growing up, this place was dominated by the larger than life presence of my Grandfather, Grandmother and Rajinder Mamaji & Uma Mamiji. We spent the best days of my childhood here”.

The actress also reminisced fond memories of how special Apple season was for her, “Apple season was always special. So many rules, No eating in the grading halls, no disturbing or distracting the labour that diligently plucked apples in special baskets called Kiltas, no playing with apples or throwing them around etc. My fav part was apple plucking & collecting the largest and the smallest apples of the season & of course glasses of freshly squeezed apple juice🍎🍏🍎”.

On a closing note she also shared, “Two years ago, I officially became a farmer & am so proud to be part of the farming community of the apple belt of Himachal Pradesh. Here’s a shout out to Himachal Apples that are the best apples in the world. I’m super stoked & proud of how well everything is maintained in all the farms given the covid situation, shortage of labour etc… I’m also extremely proud of my brother for going completely organic & replanting our orchard with organic apple trees #Ting #Appleorchards #farml
