We told you last night that Preity Zinta looked resplendent the Cannes film festival. But there is more to the story.
Reports are that Preity, escorted by Karan Johar , looking stunning and glamorous made a grand entrance on the second day of the Cannes film festival.
But the duo got a shock of their lives when they were refused entry through main door in Martinez hotel, where they have been putting up.
The reason given was that the main door was only for celebrities.
Visibly upset, Johar and Preity tried convincing security that they were celebrities from India, but the security refused to believe them and asked them to use the side door.
And both Johar and Preity had to oblige.
Preity, escorted by Caroline Gruosi-Scheufele, the president of jewellery giant Chopard attended two premieres: ‘The Wind That Shakes The Barley’ and ‘Paris, Je T'aime’.
Preity is also promoting her forthcoming film, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna , with Johar at the Cannes.
