What’s Happening

- Responding to the remark, Preity made her stance clear with a mix of humour and clarity.
- She said, “Thank you, that’s very sweet, but honestly speaking, no woman wants to be a trophy. Trophies are owned, women are not! Trophies are kept in glass cupboards, and a woman’s place is in your life and in your heart.”

During the interaction, the actor also spoke about her upcoming projects. Discussing Lahore 1947, she said, “I always wanted to do a period film, that’s why I signed Lahore 1947, and of course, it’s with one of my favourite directors, Raj Kumar Santoshi, and Sunny is always a pleasure to work with.”
She added that the film explores “a story of love in times of division and hate,” which drew her to the project.
The film is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi and stars Sunny Deol.
She also shared details about another project, Vibe, describing it as a lighter experience. “Vibe is just a really funny, light-hearted film and was great to do after the intensity of Lahore 1947,” she said, adding that both films are expected to release this year.
