And Vibe just makes me laugh. It is a coincidence that both the films came together. I would not want them to come together because it was very hectic for me right now. There’s always a bigger plan. You have to do your best and have gratitude and go with it.” For the unversed, Preity Zinta also co-owns the IPL team, Punjab Kings. She quipped, “I usually say, 'Come to the stadium near me’.
