Preity Zinta recently went to see Chak De India ...in a burqa. The actress is none too pleased that a paper made it news.

"I guess the paper found out from the theatre. I had to go and see Chak De with a live audience because I wanted to gauge their response. It is a very different kind of film from Yashraj. And just the sort of cinema that takes us ahead."

The fact that Priety chose to go to the cinema to see the film isn't too remarkable...anyone who wants to see a Yashraj film has no choice but to head to the theatre because Yashraj doesn't hold premieres.

Preity says, "I'm so taken up by Chak De. It's a film that makes you proud to be a part of Indian cinema. And I think Shah Rukh is awesome. What a performance."

Another current favourite with the actress is Rituprano Ghosh. "With his head shaved Ritu-da looks so cute. I simply loved doing Last Lear with him. "

Preity will be joining Ritu to leave for the Toronto Film Festival in September.
