Mumbai, Nov. 3 (TNS):<\/strong> Bollywood actor Preity Zinta paid her respects to the late Dina Wadia, and said she was fortunate enough to have met the \u2018spirited\u2019\u00a0grandmother of her former beau Ness Wadia, Indian media reported on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Dina Wadia, the daughter of Mohammed Ali Jinnah, died at her home in New York on Thursday. She was 98.<\/p>\n

Preity on Thursday tweeted, \u201cSorry to hear that the elegant and spirited Dina Wadia is no more. I was fortunate enough to have met her and really admired her. RIP.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an article on\u00a0Times of India<\/em>, the\u00a0Veer Zaara<\/em>\u00a0star was \u2018blown away\u2019 when she met the elegant woman.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first time I met her, I stared at her open mouthed. My goodness, she carries so much history within her! Since then we\u2019ve met over dinner and at other social occasions several times. Each time I\u2019m struck by her gentle demeanour, her classic elegance, and yes, her fragility,\u201d Preity had stated.<\/p>\n

While speaking about one of her favourite women, Preity\u2019s voice lighted up. She continues, \u201cI was also struck by her unmistakable facial resemblance to her illustrious father (Jinnah). I\u2019ve never seen two people who resemble each other so closely.\u201d<\/p>\n

Preity says she has met Dina Wadia both in Mumbai and abroad. \u201cShe lives in New York. But she visits Mumbai where she has close family. She carries an aura of unmistakable strength. Every time I meet her, there\u2019s so much to imbibe from her. There are some people in this world who just carry an aura about them. She\u2019s one of them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last time when they met, Dina wanted to know about Preity\u2019s IPL matches. \u201cShe takes a lot of interest in my life. The last time we met, she wanted to know all about the IPL matches. She\u2019s so important to our times as a woman and a figure in history and yet conveys so much joie de vivre in her attitude. I just want to sit with her and listen to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dina had married Mumbai-based Parsi businessman Neville Wadia against her father\u2019s wishes and stayed back in India after Partition.<\/p>\n
