Actor Sanjay Khan, 80, Tweeted This After Failing To Recognise Preity Zinta On A Plane

"I have seen many of your films with your beautiful face," wrote Sanjay Khan

Veteran actor Sanjay Khan tweeted a public apology to Preity Zinta who, it turns out, he failed to recognise on a flight despite being introduced by his daughter Simone. Their destination was Dubai, where frequent flyer Preity as team owner of Kings XI Punjab, spent time this year during the Indian Premier League or IPL season. By Mr Khan's account, Simone omitted to mention Preity's last name and the Zinta would have triggered his memory because he's apparently watched several films Preity starred in. The 80-year-old actor didn't say when this failure to recognise took place but we imagine Preity is unlikely to be holding a grudge. Dear Preity- as a gentleman I thought its my duty to apologise tht I couldn't recognize you when my daughter Simone introduced you on a flight to dubai. Only if Zinta was uttered I would have remembered you as I have seen many of ur films with ur beautiful face.@realpreityzinta Hi everyone, I wanted to share our amazing news with all of you today. Gene & I are overjoyed & our hearts are filled with so much gratitude & with so much love as we welcome our twins Jai Zinta Goodenough & Gia Zinta Goodenough into our family. pic.twitter.com/wknLAJd1bL
