For now, we want them to have a normal childhood. Tell us something about your love story with Parvin Dabbas. How did love blossom between you two? Ever since I started working, the one thing I hated about actors was their narcissism.
You know, how they are constantly looking at themselves in the mirror. It is all about you. But I always hated that in a man. Parvin was a refreshing change. Like many other love stories, ours, too, started during the promotions. We were not shooting, our minds were free, and we were travelling to beautiful locations, when we fell in love with each other. I found him refreshingly different from the other men.
He had a lot of other hobbies; he was into photography and diving. Whenever we go on vacations, we make sure we are hiking and doing many different things.
He has a very nice combination of being earthy too because he is a Jatt. For the major part of his life, he has been in Canada. So, he has an understanding of both worlds, which matches my sensibilities too. From all the actors you have worked with, name one who has been an absolute pleasure to have as a co-star? I actually enjoyed working with most of them.
Starting from Jimmy Sherigill, who is such a real person! He is very honest, a brilliant actor, and very hardworking too. Obviously, we were not on back-slapping terms with each other but there was so much to learn from them.
Shah Rukh would be sitting on the floor of the sets with his diet soda while talking to the spot boys. Mr Bachchan never wanted to sit with the oldies on the sets; he used to come and sit with us and said that he loved talking to us.
He was very young at heart and would enjoy his work. Then there was Govinda… what an actor! With all his quirks, he was great fun to work with.
He was not a selfish actor at all; he would be very helpful. He would work hard with me on many of the comedy scenes and would encourage me to do it in one shot to show people that I could do it. He taught me to give single shots with rehearsals and spontaneous reactions. I got to learn a lot from him! I have even done a lot of films with Suniel Shetty; he has a very generous personality. Akshay Kumar was very naughty—a prankster—who used to steal our stuff on the sets.
He was very jovial. He is very well-spoken and cultured. All of them helped me enjoy my work and come out of my shell, as an actor.
Even after all these years and all the characters that you have played, do you still have a dream role due? Doing something like that would be great. But again, that is an old school of filmmaking. I have not thought about what I would want to do now. I have been getting a lot of offers for TV shows and reality shows. But I have been quite sure that I would never do a reality show. You have also ventured into production. I remember, in one of my interviews, I had proclaimed that I will never be a producer, and here I am laughs.
That is a plus point of my personality. Any recent films or series you watched on OTT and loved? I have watched a lot of content on OTT, but not much in Hindi. Do you still have a bucket list of filmmakers whom you want to work with? What is the best and worst part of being a celebrity?
The best part is the fact that you have a voice that people will listen to. The bad part is that you cannot step out without photographers following you. You have to always put on a face.
Being in the public eye constantly is tiring, and it is not something I am very fond of. Tarun had to come to my house every single day with a camera to see how much progress I had made. That is the amount of hard work and training that went into the film. It was tremendous! By the time we came on the sets, we knew what we had to do with our clothes and lines. It was a long film and as there were many sets; it was difficult to shoot.
Who did you bond with the most on the sets of the film? We were all young people on the sets, so, we bonded well with everybody. At that time I did not know anything about the industry and their process. I was just a young girl having fun.
I used to go everywhere with my dad. I put my everything into the film. You have mentioned several times that there was no one to guide you when you entered the industry. If I had debuted at this age, I would have been smarter for sure. But if I were 16 again then I am not sure. We had managers who I seriously hated. Even though I hated them, I understood that they were a necessary evil. If not, my dad and I would have handled people the way we wanted to. But that is the way it worked that time.
What kind of films would you have loved to make your debut with? If I was a newcomer today, I would have loved to do something different and not a rom-com.
I would have loved to do something soul-touching, but at the same time, something dark and different. I feel an Anurag Kashyap or an Anurag Basu kind of movie would be great for a newcomer to show off their mettle. The emergence of OTT has given a new lease of life to many actors.
Are you looking forward to exploring the space? I totally agree. It has given a new lease of life to actors of all ages. This whole process of auditioning is fabulous!
I am very happy auditioning for different kinds of roles. These people are thinking out-of-the-box which is really great. People know Preeti Jhangiani as an actress and as a performer. How is she as a wife and a mother? Right now, in my life, I have many hats to juggle. I am a wife and a mother of two boys. I feel this is a huge responsibility in itself. I am a director of the company through which we are producing a film with a big studio, but I will have to wait for them to make the official announcement.
We have also launched a sports league and we have many websites too which we work on. So, along with all these things, I am managing to juggle everything else. I am really not sure how I am as a mother, but I am trying to be a good one. How do your kids react to the fact that their parents are actors? They have watched snippets from our films. Their parents do interviews, and people stop us on the streets, so, they do realise that we are somebody people know.
We have never put them on social media, which was a conscious decision. We want them, when they are of age, to have a choice of whether they want to be public personalities or not. For now, we want them to have a normal childhood.
