Preeti a beauty therapist. She worked at a beauty parlour called La Jolie Madame, but when his wife Tanya's business started failing, Max Branning suggested that she should poach Preeti to work at her beauty parour, Booty, as Preeti had a large clientelle.
She had a one-night stand with Sean Slater in November, when his fiancée Ruby Allen was in Venice. Sean's sister Stacey slapped her, but they have since become friends.
Preeti attended Tanya's birthday party with colleague Chelsea Fox. She dressed up in high heels and enhanced her breasts with padding to impress Mickey Miller, but fell over when she saw him as she was not used to wearing the shoes. When she got up, Mickey's girlfriend, Li Chong saw the padding and announced it to the pub. Preeti ran back to Chelsea's house, distraught.

On 15 February 2007, during an interview on This Morning, Shilpa Shetty confirmed that she had been asked to take the role of Preeti's sister in EastEnders. Shetty said that after much thought she would be unable to take the role as it would mean all her other arrangements would have to go on hold.[4] However, EastEnders bosses have reportedly denied rumours that Preeti's family are to join the show.[5]
