Preity describes KANK as a film that deals with relationships in a forthright manner and it also deals with the grey areas of marriage. In fact it was the different script of the film that attracted her to it. As for the infidelity theme in the film, Preity does not always agree with what she does in her films. But she also believes that cinema tends to reflect what's happening in society. However she personally believes that marriage is forever. Though Preity at times does feel the pressure of being in a high profile glam industry, she feels that sometimes it is very tiring to live up to one’s image made by the public, nonetheless she deals with work pressures, crazy fans and public adulation in her own stride. Preity tries to avoid having petty insecurities however she does have very philosophical insecurities, like not having her financial independence or not having any constructive work.

Preity claims that she had a great time shooting in New York for Kank; there was a lot of fun and games on the sets with the entire cast and crew. Preity claims that it was great working with all of her co-stars and it was a wonderful experience. On her co-star Shahrukh, she says "The one colleague I look up to is Shahrukh; he takes a lot of care of you. He’ll help you, he’ll give you cues and he’ll always be there for you. He’s very big-hearted and that only comes in not competing with you, he’s too beyond that to be competing with you. There is nobody else like him." Preity also claims that there has never been any problems with her female co-star Rani Mukherjee, she says that although both of them may not be excellent buddies, they do get along with each other well. In fact Preity is all praises for Rani and her performance in Kank. She claims that Rani like everyone else has given an excellent performance.
