Preity Zinta has done many hit films with Shahrukh Khan and she is also a good family friend. Naturally after hearing so much about SRK’s recent film Chak De India, she wanted to go and see the film for herself. However Preity did not want to see the film in a hi-fi multiplex theater, but instead she wanted to see the reaction of the masses to SRK’s film in some of the single screen theaters. So Preity donned the most used garment in the film industry, the burqa, so that she could watch the film amongst the masses and gauge their reaction.

Preity claims that because of the burqa, she was able to enjoy the film to the hilt, shouting, clapping and cheering. In fact she was not the only woman in a burqa, there were several other women clad in burqas and enjoying the film. About Chak De India she says “The movie has elevated patriotism to a higher level, its given energy a new meaning and youth a new direction.” As for her co-star and friend SRK’s performance, Preity says “He is mind blowing, too good to express in words, and I just love him.” So that’s Preity’s enthusiasm for Shahrukh and his film.
