A user asked Preity if she had seen the “banger” tweet, which read: “There’s a reason why she hasn’t won a trophy cuz she is the trophy.”

To which, Preity sweetly replied: “Thank you that’s very sweet, but honestly speaking, no woman wants to be a trophy. Trophy’s are owned women are not ! Trophies are kept in glass cupboards and a women’s place is in your life & in your heart Filmy question ke liye filmy answer for you Ting!”

Another user then asked her: “What’s one thing that stood out about your characters to say yes to signing Vibe & Lahore 1947? #pzchat.”

Responding to the question, Preity said: “I always wanted to do a period film, that’s why I signed Lahore 1947, and of course, it’s with my one of my favourite directors, Raj Kumar Santoshi and Sunny (Deol) is always a pleasure to work with.”

The actress shared that the story is of love during the times of division.

“It’s a story of love in times of division & hate, which I liked,” said Preity.

Talking about her upcoming film “Vibe”, Preity said: “Vibe is just a really funny light hearted film & was great to do after the intensity of Lahore 1947.”

Both the films, the actress in the chat revealed will be coming out this year.

A netizen asked the actress about her experience with Shreyas Iyer and how is the interaction with him? The question further read: “Can you tell a few words about our ‘Sarpanch’, want to listen from you.”

Preity heaped praise on the cricketer and said: “He is an inspiring & strategic leader that leads by example. Intelligent, calm , inclusive & accessible to the whole team. On a fun note he is also incredible with kids that’s why my kids lovingly call him Shreyas Bhaiya and adore him.”
