10 Reasons Why We Still Love Preity Zinta!
Here's the latest update from the world of Bollywood. We bet you wouldn't want to miss this. Read on for details... Happy Birthday Preity Zinta!
The Dil Se actress gets into her 40s today. She is still versatile and gorgeous. There may not be a queue of filmmakers outside her door, but that doesn't mean we don't have sufficient reasons why we still love her.
On her birthday, we drum up those ten reasons for you:
1. The first time the world took notice of ‘pretty’ Preity was: The soap commercial
2. Who would have thought that one day this bubbly, innocent girl from under the waterfall in a soap commercial would be cast by Mani Ratnam: Dil Se
3. For those who think that Dil Se was her debut film, this one is for you. Preity entered Bollywood with Soldier.
4. From being the cute heroine-on-the-side, Preity turned into a pleasant revelation in her role as a troubled CBI officer in the gory thriller, Sangharsh
5. After a well appreciated performance in a class-apart flick, she took up a bold, challenging role that proved to be a life-changing decision for her in Kya Kehna
6. Its that smile that made our perfectionist Aamir Khan go on his knees in front of 300 people and propose to her: Dil Chahta Hai
7. A smile that made two heroes fight to the finish, one for her love and another to help her find her true love in Kal Ho Naa Ho
8. After doing roles like the girl-next- door, she took on a role that most actresses in Bollywood would have probably given a miss, due to the taboo issues attached to the cause. The role of a brash, uncouth prostitute, paid to play surrogate mother to Salman and Ranis child in Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.
9. She then went on to prove her versatility once again by playing a schizophrenic lady in Armaan. And, she ended up being the most talked about feature of the film.
10. Preity and Saif Ali Khan, in their fourth film together, did a remake of American movie Nine Months which became one of the biggest box-office hits of that year. The film, which dwelt on live-in relationships, had set the cash registers ringing.
