If
you
saw
Preity
Zinta
dimpling
more
prettily
this
past
weekend
it's
because
she
got
to
be
with
her
soul-mate
Ness
Wadia
in
Shillong
for
the
whole
weekend.
"He's
just
left," she
says.
"And
it
was
a
good
holiday
for
him
while
I
was
working
my
butt
off
for
Jahnu
Barua's
Har
Pall."
Over
the
weekend
Preity
also
had
one
of
her
dreams
come
true.
She
attended
a
concert
by
one
of
her
favourite
rock
bands
Mr
Big
and
also
got
invited
on
stage
by
the
band's
lead
singer
Eric
Martin.
"On
Saturday
evening
I
was
told
Mr
Big
were
performing
in
town.
I
was
like….wow!
I
grew
up
listening
to
their
songs
like
'Wide
World"
and
'Just
To
Be
With
You".
I
decided,
come
what
may,
I
had
to
go
attend
the
concert."
Excited
as
a
school
girl
Preity
re-lived
some
of
her
favourite
1980s' songs
and
danced
in
aisles.
But
the
thrill
wasn't
over.
Mid-way
through
the
concert,
Mr
Big
stopped
short
in
their
tantalizing
tracks
to
announce
they've
a
very
special
guest
at
the
concert.
"And
to
my
utter
delight
and
embarrassment
Mr
Big
announced
my
name
and
asked
me
to
come
on
stage.
I
died.
Man,
what
a
moment!
I
felt
like
a
school
girl
out
on
her
first
date.
It
was
what
one
calls
a
magical
moment."
Preity
had
a
ball,
while
Ness
was
happy
to
see
his
lady
enjoy
herself.
Back
in
her
hotel
in
Shillong,
Preity
had
another
surprise
waiting
for
her.
"I
discovered
Mr
Big's
villa
is
right
next
to
mine.
So
I
had
Ness
and
one
of
my
favourite
teen
dreams
next
to
me.
Who
knows
what
will
happen
next?
With
all
this
excitement
I
find
it
very
hard
to
concentrate
on
my
work."
