Preity Zinta scared of talking to men

Mumbai: In the backdrop of her break-up with Ness Wadia followed by the fresh link-ups with cricketers and corporates in the recent past, actress Preity Zinta is feeling "dull" about it and "scared" of talking to guys.

"Right now I am balancing only my professional life. I don't have a personal life. I have stopped talking to anybody because I am scared that I might get linked with them. Now I have stopped talking to men...I tell them go away please... bring your wife along with you," Preity said in an interview.

When asked about how she feels about it, the bubbly actress said "Yeah, absolutely dull".

Preity and the Bombay Dyeing heir Ness Wadia broke up in 2009. As of now the duo shares only professional relationship as partners of their IPL team, Kings X1 Punjab.

In the recent past, rumours were doing round that Preity had gone on a secret date with her former team player and Australian fast-bowler Brett Lee at a nightspot in Mumbai.

The Bollywood grapevine was that she was also cosying up to cricketer Yuvraj Singh.

Her name was also linked with the New York-based hotelier Vikram Chatwal.

"My poor Brett Lee, he worked with us for three years and one time I was talking to him over dinner and I got linked with him. The dinner was never between him and me it was between a friend and me and he happen to come there and said hello to me so I cannot tell him that don't sit here because you are not in my team," Preity said.
