Bollywood actress Preity Zinta is in Dubai to celebrate her 35th birthday Sunday and has plans to cook Indian food for herself.

"Good afternoon guys! Chilling in Dubai for my birthday weekend! This is going to be the best year of my life, " Preity posted on her Twitter account Saturday.

"I have always wondered why Ash (Aishwarya Rai) & me grow older every year while all the other actresses either stay the same age or get younger? Any guesses?" she asked.

On this birthday weekend, the actress is also trying to cook some Indian food.

"Ok! Its my birthday weekend so now I am going back to focusing on me...he he he! Trying to cook some Indian food 4 my Indian tummy! Ciao, " Preity posted.

Preity, who has supposedly agreed to host a chat show for a TV channel, is very positive about the year 2010.

"2010 is the year for new beginnings! New and adventurous projects and even sky will not be the limit! Wait and watch...you guys! Luv you all!, " the actress posted.

Preity also admitted her admiration for friends Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar.

She also broke her silence by supporting SRK on a controversy that erupted recently when Shiv Sena's news publication 'Daily Saamana' claimed that Shahrukh has no grief over the lives lost in the 26/11 blasts, which were carried out by terrorist from across the border (Pakistan) when SRK gave a statement that Pakistani players should be included in IPL teams.

Preity exclaims, "Shahrukh is the most secular and fair guy I know. I think it's unfair to judge his movie based on his opinions."

The controversy has led Shiv Sainiks' burn the hoardings/posters of 'My Name Is Khan' across the Mumbai city.

"I do love Karan Johar and Shah Rukh! Both are very dear to me and I will defend them if someone writes nonsense about them, " she added. It will be interesting to see how SRK renowned for maintaining public-relations will tackle the situation. And also, by how far is Ms. Zinta correct with her statements on Shahrukh Khan.
