"I didn’t expect to see Preity in Dubai at such a short notice" - Deepa Mehta
Deepa Mehta’s hard-hitting Punjabi film Heaven On Earth about domestic violence was shown at the Dubai Film Festival on Saturday evening. “The experience was surreal,” said Deepa from Dubai on Sunday. “The audience composed of directors and film buffs from all over the world who watched in rapt attention. Preity Zinta (who plays the main role) and I introduced the film. And then we were huddled into the green room until the end of the film. Later we attended the Q& A session.”
Deepa was delighted to see Preity in Dubai. “I didn’t expect to see Preity in Dubai at such a short notice. It was very sweet of her to come since Heaven On Earth is as much her film as mine, in fact more hers. Everyone was raving about Preity after the screening last night.”
