If Preity Zinta had her way, she would scream from rooftops about life`s gory details. The bindaas girl seldom rubs people the wrong way but does land herself into trouble every now and then. Why? "I am nakedly honest and cannot be anything but myself," she confesses. Her candour makes people see red at times.

So much so that some of her well-wishers have been trying to tone down this particular trait of hers by constantly trying to curb her uninhibited and effusive outpourings. And it has finally worked on her. The Rajput girl is very selective now about which media she gives interviews to, though once she starts off, there`s no stopping her. Her friends are surprised that she has learnt to keep secrets even from them. Often spotted with a handsome hunk, whose identity is still a mystery, Preity has been painting the town red with him but refuses to divulge any more details, not even to her close buddies. She only giggles to any queries regarding his identity.

Didn`t know you could bite the hand that feeds you? For the sake of all those who truly care, how about some of your bindaas self, Preity?
