Preity Zinta has informed fans that her father-in-law Jon Swindle has died. She did so by sharing an emotional note attached to a lovely image of Preity and Jon, presumably clicked at the actress' wedding to Gene Goodenough in 2016. In her note, Preity Zinta said, “Dear Jon, I will miss your warmth, your kindness & most of all your incredible sense of humour. I loved going shooting with you, loved cooking your favourite Indian dishes and having conversations on every topic under the sun. Thank you so much for opening your home & your heart to me & my family. The East Coast will never be the same without you. I know you are at peace right now and at a happy place. Rest in peace.” She also added the hashtags #RIPJonSwindle #fatherinlaw #Omshanti.
Sussanne Khan responded, “So sorry to you and Gene for your loss, Pree. May his soul rest in eternal peace.”
Celina Jaitly wrote, “My deepest condolences to you and Gene. What a lovely photograph exudes so much love.”
Take a look:
Preity Zinta often shares glimpses of her personal life on social media. A few weeks ago, she posted images of her twins' Mundan ceremony. Along with the photo, she wrote, “So the ‘Mundan ceremony' finally happened this weekend. For Hindus, the first shaving off the hair for babies is considered to be a gesture of purification from the memory of their previous births and freedom from the past. Here are Jai & Gia post their Mundan ceremony.”
Before that, the Dil Se actress shared an image of Gene with the twins and said, “Happy Father's Day to the best father I know and to all the dads out there. Papa not a day goes by when I don't think of you or I miss you. #happyfathersday #ting.”
Preity Zinta and Gene Goodenough are settled in Los Angeles. The couple welcomed twins Gia and Jai through surrogacy in 2021.
