Actress-producer Preity Zinta, who filed a molestation case against her former boyfriend Ness Wadia, on Saturday declined to speak on the issue, saying all queries should be addressed to the Mumbai police chief.
“I have come here for a different reason and I would appreciate if you ask the Mumbai police commissioner about this because even I want to ask him. I am specifically here for MAMI so let’s stick to this,” Zinta told reporters at the 16th MAMI film festival.
“I am a normal person though you all call me celebrity... I am a normal person like anybody else. Police are following their procedure and in our country, the law takes its own course and I have to wait. There are millions in the line and I can’t jump the line directly or else you will all say I am behaving like a celebrity. So, I am being a good girl and following the procedures,” she said.
The actress says celebrities are required to look glamorous while attending such events. “I really want to see everyone looking glamorous at the MAMI film festival. We all deck up and go for other festivals, so why not for MAMI... I would really like if everyone looks glamorous because that’s what it’s all about. I am here to support MAMI and I am glad all the actors have come ahead and supported it.”
The actress, who will be seen in Saif Ali Khan’s next film Happpy Ending, says she was surprised to see herself in the film’s trailer. “I did it because Saif is a very dear friend. He called me and I just said yes. He has never asked me for anything like this before. I was surprised to see myself in the trailer. I was not expecting it,” she said.
Describing being awestruck by Rani Mukherjee’s performance in Mardaani, Zinta said says Mukherjee is a powerhouse performer. “In the recent past, one film which I liked the most was Mardaani. I have been researching about human trafficking for a while and the film gives you the correct information. Rani is a powerhouse performer and she does relevant films.”
