New Delhi: Preity Zinta is leaving Bollywood for B-school. “Yes, I’m going to the Harvard Business School to study a short executive course in negotiating and deal-making,” she says. “I thought that since I spend so much time in the US, I might as well use the experience better. I applied to Harvard and got accepted, so I’m quite kicked about going there next month.”
So does this keen interest in business mean we won’t be seeing her much on the big screen? “Not at all,” she says, “I want to make sure that I can balance acting and business. In fact, I’m currently buried under a pile of scripts and am reading each one to make sure that I don’t miss out on anything good. I want to do a role that I’ve never done before.”
She’s also busy with the television show Behind the Seams which she is hosting and producing. But Zinta admits that she hasn’t watched television for the past two months. “TV soaps have these close-ups of people in dark black kohl and it really scares me,” she says. “Reality shows are also staged, so there’s nothing real in them. So what’s there to watch?” Behind the Seams too is a kind of reality show as it takes you through the journey of the Kings XI Punjab team. “It’s a reality show but there’s no acting involved. It’s about cricketers and you really can’t expect cricketers to start acting,” she laughs.

I wonder why she needs to tell the whole world where she will be and when. Does she expect everyone to file applications to be with her - the great majesty that she thinks she is? I could roll on the floor laughing at these stunts.

Ohhh preity is so dimpled. preity is so smart. preity is so cute. preity is so beautiful. preity is so well educated. preity is a zebra. preity is a kangaroo. preity is a lizard. Frankly my dear Preity no one cares what you do, who you do it with, where you do it and how you do it. So go fly a kite and stop cooking our ears

Does Preity know there are millions of Indians and others across the world with a Masters degree? Does she know that she is a small fry in this vast human pool? Does she realize that she sounds crazy patronizing herself all day long with these obviously paid media snippets? Does Preity think everyone else is foolish and she is the only smartest woman on earth? God someone needs to tell her she looks like an a$$ everytime she gloats about her inconsequntial actions. Why do we need to know about it all? Tell her no one cares. No one.

Preity seems to be suffering from a disease called "self-obsession". She keeps flattering her ego almost every day by these press releases. Dont be surprised if she makes a "public statement" if she catches a cold next...She is trying too hard to gain self importance one way or another and she is loosing out on everything precisely because of this obsession. I used to like her once, but now she gets on everyone;s nerves. She jus needs to take a HUGE break and get away, she is getting to be an eyesore now.
