Now, it is pretty Preity Zinta who wore it on the Independence Day to slip unnoticed into Bandra cinema hall to whistle and cheer for SRK in ‘Chak De India’.
Preity tells the story, “I could have seen the movie in the safety and comfort of a multiplex, but to gauge the reaction of the audience, I had to sit among the masses. I went along with my mom and cousin, hidden in a burkha, and because nobody could see me, I was at my buoyant best!”
Preity Zinta in ‘Heaven on Earth’
After Aishwarya Rai’s ‘Provoked’, there will be another flick on the tale of a young battered housewife stuck up in an abusive marriage. The film titled ‘Heaven on Earth’ will have Preity Zinta playing the role of the protagonist.
The movie, from Toronto-based filmmaker Deepa Mehta, is inspired from the true tale of a Punjabi woman named Amandeep, whose disturbing story Mehta covered in her documentary ‘Let’s Talk About It’. However, the name of the character in the film has been changed to Chand. Actress Seema Biswas has also been signed to play an important role in the movie.

Preity Zinta captivated by the beauty of Punjab
Preity Zinta has been shooting Samir Karnik’s movie Mera Bharat Mahaan in Punjab.
Shooting on the outskirts of Chandigarh is a welcome change for Preity who is known for shooting most of her films abroad. And in this time of the year when Punjab has witnessed good rains in June and nature is lush green there, Preity is appreciating the beauty of the hinterland.
“Right now everything is so green and lovely in Punjab. It feels good to know one's own country,” Preity is quoted as saying.
Staying in the countryside, Preity has also been “hanging around cows and buffalos” and even feeding them sometimes. In fact, Preity is experiencing the life of a village belle as she also goes out in the fields to pluck jamuns.
However, shooting in Punjab has not been entirely hassle-free. While shooting a scene with her co-star Salman Khan , Preity hurt her foot when a nail cut a wound in the sole of her foot.
Apart from this, large crowds turn up to see the shooting of the film. The unit’s work is often delayed because of this huge gathering of fans on shooting sites.
After Punjab, the unit will continue shooting the film in east India.
Preity Zinta tying the knot with Ness Wadia?

The couple’s relationship went through a bad patch earlier this year after singer Suchitra Krishnamurthy blamed Preity for her divorce with Shekhar Kapoor .
Krishnamurthy alleged that the actress was having an affair with her director husband.
The news of the wedding has come after several reports of cold vibes between Preity and Wadia's mother Maureen had been circulated by the media.
