No surprises here, I had great fun shooting Preeti, better known as her moniker, Preetipls. This is a girl who’s not afraid to make fun of herself. “I wear the same pants all the time. I have 8 of the same pants!” Or of others — “My mom’s makeup is intense, and because of that, so was mine. I stopped when I finally found a mirror.” She tells me that because she’s always in a rush, she only spends about 5 to 10 minutes on her makeup; and many times, she does it in a cab. “I’m lucky if I can put on mascara!”, she says. Her must-haves though — a winged eyeliner and signature red lip. What’s next for Preeti? She’s going up against Kumar in the standup comedy show, Happy Ever Laughter. It’s showing July 11-29 at Capitol Theatre. You can get tickets here.
