Karan:
It's
been
how
many
years? Preity:
It's
going
to
be
9
years
at
the
end
of
this
year!
Karan:
Soldier
was
when...
in
1998? Preity:
In
98!
Karan:
It's
going
to
be
nearly
a
decade
of
work,
you
have
done! Preity:
Yes!
Karan:
When
you
look
back
at
Soldier
do
you
think
it
was
just
the
other
day
or
you
feel,
lots
of
time
has
flown? Preity:
Actually
I
didn't
feel
these
9
years,
to
be
honest.
It's
been
the
best
time
of
my
life.
The
industry
has
given
me
everything
and
you
know
people
always
say,
this
industry
is
sleazy,
there
is
a
casting
couch,
people
are
like
this.
I
think
people
treat
you
the
way
you
want
to
be
treated
by
them.
I
have
never
encountered
any
problem
with
anybody
who's
being
cheap
or
sleazy
because
I
have
never
portrayed
myself
like
that.
Karan:
Because
you
have
met
very
classy
and
elegant
people. Preity:
Like
Karan
Johar?
Like
KJ?
Karan:
Yeah
so
there
has
been
no
problem
on
that
end.
I'm
more
of
the
couch
myself
rather
than
being
the
casting
couch.
He
truly
comes
from
a
terrific
lineage...
he
truly
is
the
brother
and
the
son
of
the
soil!
He's
one
of
the
most
loved
and
the
most
affable
members
of
the
film
fraternity.
The
very
suave
and
the
very
stylish-
Bobby
Deol.
Yeh
Pritam
Singh
ka
origin
bata
dena
mujhe. Preity-
Bobby,
please
don't
destroy
me.
Please
I
beg
you!
Bobby-Well,
she's
like
a
guy...
eh...
like
a
buddy!
You
two
have
been
friends
for
a
while
and
you've
kept
in
touch
even
when
you'll
didn't
work
together?
Preity-
Yes!
Bobby
and
me
have
known
each
other
before
I
became
an
actor
Bobby-
She
would
be
with
us.
We
would
all
go
out
in
my
dads
van
every
night
out
and
she
would
be
sitting
right
at
the
back
quiet
to
her
self.
And
one
day
she
came
up
to
me
and
said
Ok!
I'm
doing
criminal
psychology.
Can
I
make
you
my
subject?
And
I
said
to
her,
look
Preity...
I
would
love
to
but
I'm
from
this
family
and
if
I
talk
about
myself
and
if
you
say
this
is
my
subject
Bobby
Deol,
I
can't
do
it!
You
wanted
to
make
bobby
your
subject? Preity-But
you
know
in
the
beginning
I
didn't
know
Bobby
as
Dharmendra's
son.
Who
did
you
think
he
was? Preity-I
swear.
When
I
first
met
him
he
was
one
of
the
guys
in
the
group
and
I
had
to
look
for
someone
between
23-28
ka
age
group,
I
was
finding
and
I
needed
5
subjects
and
actually
I
didn't
realize
Bobby-Actually
I
never
thought
she
wanted
to
get
into
movies.
I
was
at
Shekhar's
office
for
two
years
waiting
for
my
film
to
start.
Nothing
was
happening...
I
got
to
know
everyone
in
the
staff.
I
was
going
to
start
shooting
for
Soldier
and
I
went
to
the
studio
and
they
said
'Preity
aayi
thi
yaha
par...
uska
screen
test
accha
tha'
and
'I
was
like
Preity
kaun?
Uska
surname
kya
hain
and
then
they
said
Preity
Zinta.
And
I
said
mereko
dikhao
and
then
I
saw
it
and
I
was
like
"she's
pretty
good
man!"'
and
then
when
I
was
shooting
for
Soldier
I
didn't
recommend
her
but
I
told
them
there
is
this
girl
and
she's
very
good
and
I
didn't
know
she's
already
signed
on
for
another
film
and
then
she
was
my
heroine
and
her
first
film
was
with
me.
