Preity Zinta says to Punjab: I'm loving it!

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 said.

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.

After Punjab, the unit will continue shooting the film in east India.
