"In life, sometimes you don't make commercial decisions, but make human decisions," she added.

Preity admitted the delay affected her financially.

"But I could afford it," she said. "I don't believe that business should be done ruthlessly."

Reacting to rumours that the film didn't have buyers, Preity said: "I will be producing again. I want to do bigger and better things. I hear these rumours from one ear and remove them from the other. I can only hit back by making sure that I do good work."

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.
