Like Bollywood actresses Tara Sharma, Bipasha Basu and Sonam Kapoor, talented actress Preity Zinta started out as a commercial model. She made her first product endorsement as an image model in 1996 for Perk Chocolates. Her charmed performance in the Liril soap ad, with her cute dimpled smile (see photo, below) was warmly received by audiences.
Soon, Preity Zinta made debuted in the 1988 film "Dil Se" by Mani Ratnam. But it was through the box-office hit drama "Kya Kehna", in 2000, that she was recognized by critics, eventhough the movie tackled the serious and controversial issues of teenage pregnancy and single parenthood. Her role as Priya Bakshi got her a nomination for the Filmfare Awards for Best Actress. She did not win that year, however. She finally won the said award in 2003 for "Kal Ho Naa Ho".
But if you think that she is but a beauty without brains, let me remind you that she was a commentator for BBC News Online, who has written opinionated but well-informed columns on various social issues. In 2011, she was the TV host for Guinness World Records - Ab India Todega on Colors Channel. She is a really talented and alluring woman (see below photo)!

Preity Zinta was born on January 31, 1975 in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. She was romantically linked to Ness Wadia from 2005 to 2009), which means keeps the hopes up for all her aspiring suitors. Now approaching mid-life, there are rumors that she underwent plastic surgery. But I personally think that, even if these fantastic stories are true, the plain truth remains that is very talented and still enormously beautiful!
