Preity tied the knot with her longtime American beau Gene Goodenough last year in the US. The actress has been since shuttling between India and the US and finds it a little tough.
"I think women are super women. So juggling doesn't bother me so much. I am very happy I am very lucky that I am married to somebody who pushed me back to doing a movie.
Her last film was a debacle at the box office but the actress says she is not carrying that burden forward to her next release as she is not producing it.
"There is absolutely no pressure because I am not producing. I am not stressed. I think its ok , if you look at any actor's career, they have all done their first production and they have all fallen flat. I am still very proud of the film."
Preity plays an "earthy" character in the film and jokes that it is her "revenge" from all the producers who had said that the actress was only fit for western roles.
"It is a very special film because I have never played such an earthy character before. It is my first desi role. Everyone used to tell me that I am only suited to do western roles. This is my revenge."
When asked if women-centric roles are something which is looking for, Preity says she wants to do films which have a positive message and a great story.
