Preity Zinta

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta is the zing thing of the Bollywood. She was born on 31st Jan 1974 in Simla, India. She hails from a defence background, had already made her mark as a model while still in school & shot to fame as the refreshing, cool, wet model in the Liril ad.

This, along with her mischievous expressions and twinkling eyes in the Cadbury's Perk ad brought her to Shekhar Kapur's notice. The famed director was then looking for fresh faces to launch his film 'Tara Rum Pum Pum'. Preity Zinta signed on the dotted line, but the film never took off. However, her name was already doing the industry rounds and she bagged a couple of films in quick time.

Preity Zinta is a graduate in Psychology, is so pretty, outspoken and a beautiful actress-dancer who keeps smiling all the time with a dimple on her right cheek.

The film 'Dil Se..' was her first release. The film bombed at the box-office, but Preity Zinta's dazzling smile and pleasant disposition in a small but significant role left behind a decidedly happy impression. With 'Dil Se..' Preity Zinta had already proved she could act.

'Soldier' (1998) and 'Sangharsh' (1999) have merely reiterated this fact. In 'Soldier' she played an impish, spoilt rich girl with great conviction. In 'Sangharsh' she was equally at ease executing the part of a gritty young CBI trainee in search of a dreaded killer.

Preity Zinta made a mark in the industry with her film "Kya Kehna". However, Preity Zinta, a relentless self-improver, doesn't take her success lightly. Or too seriously either, for that matter. Maybe that's why she enjoys it so much.
