MUMBAI: The fake Preity Zinta on Twitter with 1,40,000 followers has shocked the real Preity Zinta into making an appearance online

The actress, who was informed by a friend about her fake profile on the social networking site, said, “The fake was using various quotes of mine from old interviews. Ask her or him to show the dimple then we shall see!” She now plans to “get my account verified and put up a photograph!”

Now on Twitter, Zinta says, “Just wanted to see for myself that someone was impersonating me! I felt that people were being cheated by a fake me.” While her pal director Karan Johar gave her a thumping welcome online, actor Riteish Deshmukh has sent her a “real kiss”.

Muah, muah! Welcome online, Preity!
