Preity Zinta has been shooting Samir Karnik’s movie Mera Bharat Mahaan in Punjab.
Shooting on the outskirts of Chandigarh is a welcome change for Preity who is known for shooting most of her films abroad. And in this time of the year when Punjab has witnessed good rains in June and nature is lush green there, Preity is appreciating the beauty of the hinterland.
“Right now everything is so green and lovely in Punjab. It feels good to know one's own country,” Preity is quoted as saying.
Staying in the countryside, Preity has also been “hanging around cows and buffalos” and even feeding them sometimes. In fact, Preity is experiencing the life of a village belle as she also goes out in the fields to pluck jamuns.
However, shooting in Punjab has not been entirely hassle-free. While shooting a scene with her co-star Salman Khan , Preity hurt her foot when a nail cut a wound in the sole of her foot.
Apart from this, large crowds turn up to see the shooting of the film. The unit’s work is often delayed because of this huge gathering of fans on shooting sites.
After Punjab, the unit will continue shooting the film in east India.
