Preetika - WORKOUT SPECIAL

'Arya is my

fitness guru'

...says actress Prretika, who is busy with Chiku Bukku

 If you've seen this debutant actress in person, you'll wonder why she ever needs to be concerned about her fitness. With an hourglass figure, Preetika is as fit as she can be. Yet, pretty Preetika, Bollywood actress Amrita Rao's sister, insists on calling fitness her 'morning mantra' these days.

       The beauty seems to have taken her fitness regime seriously after her co-star Arya shared some fitness secrets with her. "Arya has a great physique! While working on Chikku Bukku, he was kind enough to lend some serious fitness tips to me," she reveals.

      Apparently, the good-looking Kollywood hunk -- whose female fans seem to be increasing by the day -- took personal interest in Preetika and charted out a diet and a workout regime for his latest leading lady. "Arya would ask me every time on the sets about whether I had hit the gym! And during lunch and dinner breaks, he would give special instructions to the cook on how to serve me the right platter!" reveals Preetika.

        And from what we hear, Preetika is getting compliments for her newtoned look that's adding a dash of spice to her sweet features. "All thanks to Arya; he is my fitness guru!" exclaims the Mangalorean beauty.

         About her rumoured "frosty relationship" with Shriya Saran (the other heroine of Chikku Bukku).Preetika says, "Contrary to rumours, we get along well. I first met Shriya in Karaikudi on the sets of the movie. It was Arya who introduced me to her and the first thing she said to me was that I have a lovely voice and that she finds me very beautiful!  Such words of praise and appreciation, coming from someone I consider a consummate actress and a perfect beauty, was over whelming! We ended up spending two hours at dinner, discovering that we can almost see each others homes in Mumbai from our balconies. We spoke about everything under the sun -- right from mediation techniques to workouts and diets".

        The film, which also has shriya Saran as Arya's leading actress, seems to be creating a bit of confusion about the Preetika's role in it. Ask her about it and she playfully replies, "Well, Arya's just got lucky this time with two leading ladies!" About why she was not in London for the film's latest song shot, she states, "I don't feature in that particular song. In a way, I'm glad I was not part of the song because that would mean I would have been stranded in London like my co-stars! However, i feature in three other songs, but can't reveal anything more on them or the film at this stage." So, what's she doing next in kollywood? "I', listening to a lot of stories and will take a call soon."
