Currently dating Wadia scion, Ness Wadia, actress Preity Zinta shares her Valentine-day plans
Any plans for V-day?
(Laughs) If you have any gifts, please give them to me now.
Which is your most memorable Valentine's Day?
The most special Valentine's Days are the initial ones. To have someone important in one's life is a good reason to smile every day. I'm happy for whoever wants to celebrate it.
The best gift you ever got?
On January 24.. when the IPL bid result came in my favour. I was so excited that I couldn't stop jumping around. It took me a day to calm down..
We're talking about Valentine's Day gifts here.
Hmm, can't recollect one right now.
Ideally, how would you like to spend the day?
I don't plan too much, but go with the flow. I'm a romantic at heart and all that, but I don't plan days ahead.. I'm more spontaneous.
Which is the most romantic moment of your life?
It has to be the scene in
Kal Ho Naa Ho
, when Shah Rukh reads the letter to me. I remember asking Karan Johar if anyone could do that in real life.. I don't think so. I was floored. The dialogue was so much like poetry.
Ever wished it to happen in real life?
In reality, life is incredible. If anyone wrote poetry to me, I don't know.. (laughs) I'd probably run if I were running in the Mumbai marathon.
