MeenaBagh Ratnari has quickly become a "silent magnet" for celebrities seeking privacy and peace, attracting well-known personalities like MS Dhoni, Deepti Naval, Amol Palekar, Ravish Kumar and Brijendra Kala. Preity Zinta, who hails from Himachal, reportedly chose the farmstay for its vast 15-bigha orchard and its perfect mix of rustic charm and luxury comforts. During her five-day stay, she embraced a slow, nature-filled lifestyle by feeding sheep, Angora rabbits and ducks, bonding with pets like Khobli the cat and Beswa the Pahari dog and enjoying stargazing sessions at the property's observatory, home to one of India's largest privately owned telescopes.
In a rare moment of public anonymity, Zinta attended the vibrant Bishu fair alongside hosts Akshita and Sanjay Austa. Dressed in a traditional Himachali cap and a face mask, she browsed the local stalls and purchased toys for her children. Witnesses noted that despite her superstar status, she remained largely unnoticed by the festive crowd. Those who did recognize her reportedly maintained a respectful distance, allowing the star a rare, undisturbed holiday experience.

Before checking out on April 24, Zinta marked her visit with a symbolic gesture to commemorate World Earth Day. She planted a native rhododendron sapling in the MeenaBagh lawns, underscoring her commitment to conserving the fragile Himalayan ecosystem. Zinta expressed her delight to the staff, sharing that visiting MeenaBagh Ratnari had been a long-held wish. As the IPL 2026 season continues, the actor's "short and sweet" escape provided a vital respite before she returns to the high-stakes world of cricket management.
