Preity chose 'Manners and etiquette in life and on social media' as a topic of discussion with her Twitter followers on Sunday.
Preity, who was earlier dating industrialist Ness Wadia, added that "a simple 'please' or 'thank you' went a long way in life".
The actress wrote on Twitter:
A simple PLEASE or THANK YOU can go a long way in life. The best looking guy with money & style without manners is actually a big turn off

Preity, who crossed over to the small screen as a judge of dance reality TV show Nach Baliye this year, feels that 'kids are losing their etiquette and manners' because of the growing 'maid' culture' in India.

Maids are not very educated in India & since parents don't have that much time the kids end up spending most of their time with the maids.

Therefore a lot of the upbringing of kids ends up from the maid instead of the parents. They look, they see & they absorb. That's my theory
