Preity Zinta's New Year plans

Last year at this time Preity Zinta had injured herself during a vacation but now she has good plans for the New Year.

After shooting as the derelict NRI wife in Deepa Mehta 's Heaven On Earth , Preity is off to Phuket, Thailand with her friends for a well-earned vacation.

"The year has been a tough one for me," Preity told a news agency. "Not only did I suffer a serious injury, it has also been a year of tough challenges for me as an actor."

"In 2007, I went into another kind of cinema altogether. From doing Yashraj Films to playing a woman who finds herself at the receiving end of life in 'Heaven On Earth' has been quite a creative and cultural shock for me," Preity said.

But Preity points out that 'Heaven On Earth' isn't only about a battered wife.

"It's about all the people who leave India and hope to find paradise abroad, only to be stuck on wretched 16-hour jobs with no happiness or sunshine. I never knew how such marginalized women existed until I played one," Preity said.

"Deepa Mehta and 'Heaven On Earth' have proved eye openers for me. But the film was tough on me emotionally. In the month that I was in Toronto, I went out just twice and that too to maintain my sanity. I really need a break now," added Preity who had only one commercial release this year in the flop Jhoom Barabar Jhoom with Abhishek Bachchan and Bobby Deol .

Preity will return from her vacation in the second week of January with a clear date diary.

"I haven't said yes to any of the scripts I've heard. I'll take a call when I return from my holiday. But yes, 2007 has been my year of unconventional films. So 2008 will probably be a year of hardcore masala movies," Preity said.
