The bubbly image is long gone. Preity Zinta, once known for dimples is now a big girl, thanks to the films like Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. But the same film has landed her in a fresh trouble.

No doubt she looks fantastic in the film but according to critics she looks too old for her role.

One can notice the flawed area around Preity's eyes and some gossipmongers allege thats it is the bruise she received after her recent eye-lift. Her buddy Karan Johar was unable to delay the film and hence she had to shoot for her role in the film before she had fully recovered from her eye-lift surgery.

But Preity has learnt to live with such allegations.

In London till late September for the shooting of Shaad Ali's Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, the dimpled beauty talked to press, about her image, her winning ways, and her attitude. She said she wanted to be remembered as a great performer, rather than as a star.

She says that she was pretty happy to do one film at a time, since acting for her has been a gratifyingly creative experience, and she wanted to keep it that way.

"Jhoom Barabar Jhoom is a film that a four-year-old and a 104-year-old can watch. I have seen it in different pieces and I am very proud of it. It's a completely entertaining film but you have to watch without leaving your brains behind."

Preity says that she can't help it that she has been saddled with the image of a flitting and bubbly character. She said Bubbly is just a part of her. "There is much more to me in my performances and personality on celluloid than that bubbly thing".

Elaborating on Jaan-e-man, she said: "It is a romantic comedy. It has a beautiful love story, beautiful emotions, it's very, very funny."

When asked as to how it felt to work with Salman, she gushed that she was really happy to do so. Talking about her other star in Jaan-e-man, she said, "Akshay and I worked together after a very long time too.

We worked together in Sangharsh. They both are very, very nice guys, very professional and I have a very good relationship with them."
