After issuing vehement denials earlier this month, it seems Preity Zinta is all set to marry her friend Gene Goodenough who is now being referred to as her fiancé, reports The Indian Express.

The actress is set to marry Gene in America followed by a reception party in Mumbai for her industry friends. She continues to remain tight-lipped about the developments for the moment.

Reports also suggest that Preity would be donating proceeds generated from their wedding pictures to charity, the newspaper said.

It is believed that they will put out their private wedding images up for auction and the proceeds generated out of these will go towards the Preity Zinta Foundation, it further reports.

The newspaper, quoting a source, adds: “The power couple have decided to direct all the hype and anticipation surrounding their wedding into a charitable cause. They will be putting their private wedding images up for auction and the proceeds generated out of these will go towards the Preity Zinta Foundation.”

“Preity’s foundation works towards educating children and old age home rehabilitation. Preity has been involved in several charitable initiatives but has never spoken about it since she is an extremely private person. However, both she and Gene wanted to celebrate this joyous moment in their lives by giving back to society in their own little way.”
