/> Preity Zinta had the time of her life at the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Singpaore on Sunday night.

"Ness and I had the best evening of our life...all right, one of the best," Preity gushed on the morning- after from Singapore. "It was the first ever Grand Prix in the night and boy, were we happy to be there! But I'm exhausted. It went on till the wee hours. "

This wasn't Preity's first Grand Prix. "No, it was my third Grand Prix. I attended on in Spain and the other in Melbourne. Our very special trip to the first nocturnal Grand Prix was arranged by a certain Mr B.S Ong.

He was one of the chief organizers. And one of the big boys in Singapore. He's like the king and he isn't even a Sinngh, ha ha. We had a rocking time.

Two cars crashed.Regulars at the Grand Prix say it was one of the best organized Grand Prix of all times."

"There were lots of people from India...There was Rahul Gandhi, Satish Sharma, Vijay Mallya, Shilpa Shetty.....But Shilpa was in the Kingfisher's enclave. Ness and I were in Mr Ong's box. I did go down to say hello to Vijay and that's when I met Shilpa."

Preity loves car racing and would like to try it herself. "I just wanted to jump on to those tracks and drive those skidding wheels. I can't tell you what a thrill it is. All you need is ear plugs to make sure your ears don't burst under pressure of the sounds of those skidding wheels."

Preity is all praise for the Indian team at the Grand Prix. "This was our first time. And I think our boys really did well. I think Mr Vijay Mallaya has done a commendable job.

I remember ten years ago we used to watch the Grand Prix on television back home and dream about an Indian team on the tracks. We used to joke it would take us a hundred years. But Vijay has made it happen so soon after. Our boys were very dramatic on the tracks."

Ness had even more fun than Preity. "You think he's too proper to let himself go? Well you should've seen him at the Grand Prix. He had himself a ball.

Ness is a total sports buff. He loves every sport from Formula 1 to tennis soccer to golf. Our next sporting event is in Mohali on 17 October when India plays Australia. We'll be there. I hope India wins."

For now Preity returns to Mumbai dub Deepa Mehta's Heaven On Earth in Hindi in Mumbai.
