Preity Zinta is single again as she broke up with her long time boyfriend Nss Wadai. The couple who jointly owned Kings XI Punjab were never spotted together during the tournament. The actress had herself stated that she was single also professionally still connected to Ness. Now the truth has come out as to why Preity had called off her relationship with Ness. The buzz in the tinsel town is that Ness had asked Preity to quit films.Just before the start of the IPL everything was fine between the couple and they had decided to tie the knot once the IPL was over. Ness then dropped the bomb and told Preity that she would have to quit films completely after marriage. Preity initially though Ness was being possessive and told him she would do only selective roles. But Ness was adamant with his demand which ultimately prompted Preity to take the hard decision.A source close to Preity said that Ness’ demand came as a rude shock to Preity who did not want t have any conditions attached to her marriage. Preity has been a self made girl who has tasted success due to her own hard work. The sources adds that Preity did not want to loose her financial independence after marriage and so make the call. The actress has recently signed a movie with Yash Raj Films. All we can say to Ness is that he should rather shift his eyes from Bollywood as the glam girls won’t bow to his demands.

Italian watch brand Morellato, which entered India a year ago, through a joint venture with Gitanjali Gems that made Morellato watches and jewellery available in India, has created its first television commercial.

The brand has announced actors Preity Zinta and Neil Nitin Mukesh as its ambassadors. Dion Lilywhite, vice-president, Timepieces, Gitanjali Lifestyle, says that the international appeal of both these actors helped in narrowing the search.

Zinta has been on the international circuit for a while now, gracing the red carpet at Cannes a couple of years ago and co-owning an IPL team. Though Mukesh is a new kid on the Bollywood block, it was his chiseled features that bagged the deal for him. The pair has already appeared in a couple of prints ads for the brand.

The TVC has been created by Fortune Communications. The brief that the agency received was to capture the intimate moments between a man and a woman. Also imperative was to encapsulate the luxury that the brand offers.

The film opens on Zinta, dressed in red, walking up a cobbled path in anticipation. She is obviously waiting for someone, as she glances at her watch. Mukesh walks up from behind and covers her eyes. She turns around to see that it’s him, but is miffed that he’s late. She soon discovers why he was late, he had been making some arrangements to profess his love for her.

The ad has no dialogue between the protagonists. There is only a song in the background and narration to fill up the spaces. The creative team went to Italy for a recce, so that visuals of the city could be reflected in the film. The rest of the ad was done in India, as Zinta could not spare time off to travel to Italy due to the IPL. Marlon Rodriguez shot the ad.

Zinta has endorsed a handful of products in the past, including Pepsi, Godrej eon and Vatika shampoo. She was also announced brand ambassador for GoAir and National Geographic Channel. As for Mukesh, this is his among his first endorsements.
