Kaanta laga: Preity Zinta

It's not easy being Preity Zinta. For the last two days she has been wincing in pain, hobbling around while shooting in the outskirts of Chandigarh.

"We've been shooting here for Mera Bharat Mahaan. Yesterday, while doing an outdoor scene with Salman Khan, I was running barefoot when a nail pierced the sole of my foot. At that time I didn't feel the pain so much. But as the day progressed my foot got worse. I'm still alive and kicking. These things don't bother me much, except that this one is hurting a lot," says Preity.

Preity had to take a tetanus injection. "And now my arm too is heavy and swollen. So I'm managing on one foot and with one arm. Although I'm in considerable pain I've to continue shooting because we have to wrap up this week. Oh, the hardships of being an actress," she jokes.

Preity will shoot next in eastern India. "While last year I was out of the country most of the time, this year I'm on an extended Bharat darshan. I got quite sick of shooting abroad all the time. 2007 is my India Year. It's so nice to see the interiors of the country. Right now everything is so green and lovely in Punjab. It feels good to know one's own country even if I've to limp my way through the hinterland," she winces as she draws attention to her injured foot again.

There were practical problems about shooting in Chandigarh. "I've been hanging around cows and buffalos. I've never been so close to nature before. Out here where we're shooting there's a jamun (blackberry) tree and a kairi (mango) tree. Every day I feed the buffalos and pluck jamuns. But the whole world lands up for the shoot. The crowds get quite unruly and the fan attention does tend to distract from the work at hand. We have to tell them, 'Hum kaam kar rahen hain.' And they look strangely at us. 'We thought you were shooting.' So yeah, it does get quite hectic," she says.
