'I haven't even started rehearsing'

Preity Zinta takes a flash decision to perform at the IIFA Awards, talks about her cover-girl status

Preity Zinta is known to spring surprises on others. But this time the actress surprised herself when she made a flash decision to perform at the International Indian Film Academy awards in Dubai. "I will be performing there to Shiamak Davar's choreography. I am yet to sit and finalise my item with him," says Preity. "This is the first time that I will be performing at such a short notice. I haven't even started rehearsing."

After IIFA, Preity returns to Mumbai to complete Sajid Khan's delayed Jaan-e-Man and Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvidaa Na Kehna, a role which she has garnered praise for. "People, whose opinion matter to me are happy with my work. I must confess that it felt good to be wearing clothes that cost more than the location.
But seriously, I couldn't have done it without Karan or Manish Malhotra," she says. "There's one sequence with Rani with Abhishek which made me cry. Normally, I do not cry at the movies. I like keep it to myself. Only my family and close friends have seen my vulnerable side."

Preity has also featured on the cover of an international women's magazine. "I guess the bubbly, perky Preity has taken a backseat for the time being. The magazine had a 'let-me-be-me' campaign for Indian women. The inaugural cover was supposed to represent the fun and feisty face of the Indian woman. I liked the fact that I fitted into that slot."

The days ahead will spell relief for Preity. "This will be my longest stay at home in recent times. In July, I will go for an event to London, then probably attend the BAFTA awards and finally get a week off for myself before shooting for Shaad Ali's Jhoom Baraabar Jhoom. All in all, this is quite a hectic time for me and I'm enjoying every bit of it," she says.
