Mumbai, Dec 18 (IANS) Actress Preity Zinta, who is known for ‘Dil Chahta Hai’, ‘Kal Ho Naa Ho’, ‘Jhoom Barabar Jhoom’ and others, feels that like Italy, India should also have more harsh punishments for the crime of rape.
On Wednesday, the actress took to her X, formerly Twitter and re-shared a tweet from the official handle of BRICS News.
The tweet read, “Italy moves toward legalizing chemical castration for rap*st and pe*ophiles. Do you agree with this?”
Responding to the same, the actress wrote, “What a fantastic move ! Hope @mygovindia also does sometime similar. What do you think folks ? It’s high time there is zero tolerance for such crimes”.
BRICS is an intergovernmental organization comprising nine countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.

One user on the Internet wrote, “Gandhi parivar ke liye thought for a lifetime”.
