With Bollywood’s golden couple Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol coming together after almost a decade, the film is one of the most awaited releases of 2010, but Preity has already given her verdict.”I saw some of the film’s (My Name Is Khan) footage and she is outstanding in it and so is Shahrukh and I think it will be great movie,” Preity, who was here in the capital as the brand ambassador of Vatika Enriched Almond Hair Oil, said.

Preity can even bet on the fact that no body could have done the role better than Kajol.”Look at Kajol. She goes and gets married, has a kid. She disappears for three years and she comes back does some thing like My Name Is Khan and she is so good in the film. I can bet that none of the actresses can stand in front of her,” Preity said. Karan Johar directed My Name is Khan is set to hit the theaters in Feb next year and stars Shah Rukh as RizvanKhan, an unconventional hero, who embarks on an incredible journey in order to win back the love of his life (Kajol).

And along the way, his unique brand of goodness and humanity touches the lives of many and inspires a nation.

The dimpled actress who has taken a sabbatical from Bollywood to resume her education at Havard University is still jittery over Mumbai paparazzi! Preity recently tweeted her fears as, “I am scared to talk to a guy, forget sitting next to one. If Parag from Mumbai Mirror sees me he will write I am having an affair with him! He wrote the completely fabricated and false story about me and somebody called Vikram Chatwal and till now I have to deny it.”The actress took cudgels against the journo’s baseless story and said, “He does not need to see me to write rubbish!

Thats my point…. that’s what yellow journalism is all about!” And added, “Sorry guys, I am getting carried away! The power of the pen can make you lose perspective and write anything you feel like!”Sharing her thoughts on studies, Zinta, an English literature graduate who further pursued criminal psychology said, “Study, study, study! It’s all very new to me and I want to do well in class! Being an actress does not help, though I am loving being a normal student.”Speaking about her classmates, Zinta added, “Top CEOs, bankers, lawyers, etc.

The oldest student in class is 60 and the youngest is 21. Had a chance to meet most of the Indian and South Asian students at Harvard! Wow! Generation next rocks! They will rule the world soon.”

Preity Zinta is hard at work, proving to herself and her fellow students that there is more to her than the bubbly Indian actress label. Yes, Preity has taken herself and her dimples to get some education and what better place to prove her intellectual mettle than Harvard University in the US. Preity just took to her twitter account to tweet, “Stepped into the Harvard campus with the biggest smile !

Saw my course and homework and got a heart attack !Now i am the official book worm!” She added, “good night everyone ! I need to work hard otherwise i will be seen as a dumb actress …. and that cannot happen so wish me luck ! muaah !”

Preity Zinta to form Girls basketball team

Preity Zinta has not hung up her designer boots and called it quits, on the contrary she’s put on sports shoes now.The actress, who was away from Bollywood for “just six weeks and has not migrated to LA”, came up with the idea of making money for her charity by forming an all-international girls’ basketball squad called the Dream Girls team.“The players will be internationally-famous women like filmstars, supermodels, socialites and, of course, there’ll be me – the captain – and we’ll be playing with professional basketball teams around the world. American experts from NBA will train us,” said Preity, who stands 5 feet 5 inches tall in her socks but has quite a sporting background.

“Nobody knows I’ve been a gymnast for 11 years, I did karate for nine years, I am very good at basketball and I rifle shoot too,” she said, adding, “People said that it was a crazy idea to give one-and-a half years to IPL, but then today, financially, I don’t have to care for the rest of my life.”Does that mean she won’t do films for money anymore? “Are you kidding? I’m not retiring to the jungles! Of course, money is important. I do charity and all but I still need to wear my brands, travel first class and pamper myself. I believe more in living rich than dying rich. My biggest fear is to die broke, ex-film star,” laughed the actress, who devotes a lot of time to causes like child trafficking and the upliftment of women. “I want to do full-on commercial films now,” she said.

And for that, she conducted a poll on the net where she asked fans who they would like to see her with. “There’s a tie between Saif Ali Khan and Shah Rukh! I’m going to go in search of them now,” laughed Preity.

Preity Zinta is leaving Bollywood for Harvard

Preity Zinta is leaving Bollywood for B-school. “Yes, I’m going to the Harvard Business School to study a short executive course in negotiating and deal-making,” she says. “I thought that since I spend so much time in the US, I might as well use the experience better. I applied to Harvard and got accepted, so I’m quite kicked about going there next month.”

So does this keen interest in business mean we won’t be seeing her much on the big screen? “Not at all,” she says, “I want to make sure that I can balance acting and business. In fact, I’m currently buried under a pile of scripts and am reading each one to make sure that I don’t miss out on anything good. I want to do a role that I’ve never done before.”

She’s also busy with the television show Behind the Seams which she is hosting and producing. But Zinta admits that she hasn’t watched television for the past two months. “TV soaps have these close-ups of people in dark black kohl and it really scares me,” she says. “Reality shows are also staged, so there’s nothing real in them. So what’s there to watch?” Behind the Seams too is a kind of reality show as it takes you through the journey of the Kings XI Punjab team. “It’s a reality show but there’s no acting involved. It’s about cricketers and you really can’t expect cricketers to start acting,” she laughs.
