As far as the entertainment industry is concerned, very few personalities are a rock-solid blend of mesmerizing charm and good entrepreneurship skills. However, whenever this is discussed, the name of Preeti Jhangiani will always come in the forefront . The year 2023 wasn't just special for her in terms of acting but also as someone who promotes Indian armwrestling and does her best to make India proud at the global level. While she received a lot of appreciation for her role in Kafas that's presently streaming on Sony LIV, her highlight moment has to be when PAFI took a 40 member strong Indian team For the World championship to Almaty Kazakhstan and India won 3 gold medals for the first time in 15 years ! Preeti also led the Indian team to the Asian Armwrestling Championship in Dubai this year where they won many medals and recently to the Asian cup in Samarkand , Uzbekistan , where the team won 2 gold medals again and many silver and bronze as well! 

Regarding the year 2023, Preeti shares and we quote,

"Well, the year 2023 was quite an interesting and productive one for me if I look back at it. Kafas happened and after a long time, I got something which made me say yes. Also, our Indian athletes performances at 3 international competitions has been remarkable, especially winning the elusive gold at the World Championship under PAFI has been simply incredible! To cut things short, I indeed had a great year, all thanks to the universe and here's hoping that in 2024, I can do a lot more for the sport and also hopefully in the acting space as well. Looking forward to it."

Well, kudos to Preeti for showing the right spirit and balancing so successfully entrepreneurship and acting in 2023. May 2024 be the year for her that she always wanted.
