When cheered for her kind act, Preity brushes it off with, "It was a normal thing to do. I don't consider it to be a great act. It's just being human.  Every citizen should do things like this. Abroad, everybody stops and helps accident victims. It's the most normal thing to do there, unlike here, sadly. But here, I guess it's difficult as people usually are scared of getting dragged into a police case. It's not just about being a socially aware citizen. It's about doing what you would want others to do for you and when that doesn't happen, it upsets me. 

This year, I had decided to ditch all superstitions... But for this match I kept standing through the match because every time I sat, a wicket fell. And when I stood, someone would hit it for a boundary so I got nervous. I tried every superstition in the book but nothing ever worked so I have stopped believing in them. My only policy today is: As long as the intent to win is clear and we stand together united as a team, we are fine.

These rumours are crazy. What's the big deal about our hug? We have both been through a lot with this team and we just celebrated our first win after, in our first match, after six years so it was an exciting moment for all of us! Why can't two grown up, mature individuals who have been in a relationship have a warm relationship? Why do we have to be cold or rude or mean? Ness and I were thrilled so we hugged each other.

Thank U all 4 all ur msgs. When I'm down they bring me up, when I'm happy they become my joy & when I'm lost they inspire me. I love U all !

"I am reactive as a person. This is part of my personality. I cannot just sit quietly and do nothing, I must react! There are others who don't react. It is their way of showing their feelings," she said.

Because that's the kind of person I am. I am very reactive towards everything. There are some who don't react at all, they absorb everything quietly, while I would go all out and show my expressions. This is not part of some tamasha that I do; I do it because it is part of my personality.

And you don't care what others think of you? 
Why should I? People will always have an opinion, but you have to live life the way you want to. It is very easy to tell others what to do, but difficult to implement it on yourself. I had never thought I'd become an actor. And even when I did get into films, I remember I was shooting in Rajasthan for my debut film and had to take my final exams for criminal psychology. I cancelled the shoot to take my exams because I had promised my mom that I would completemy education even if became an actor. You don't see too many actors do this kind of thing.

Films are a part of my being, they don't define me. I have this whole thing that when God gives you more than you have imagined, you should give it back.
