Preity has reasons to smile
It's been a year of mixed fortunes for her. Bollywood's sunshine girl Preity Zinta, 30, can finally heave a sigh of relief: after dishing out two duds (Lakshya and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha) she can safely take some credit for her first hit this year: Yash Chopra's Veer-Zaara, co-starring her lucky mascot, Shah Rukh Khan. Zinta insists that "hits always make a difference to my life. Anybody who says that they don't care about hits and flops needs to get an award for being above such material things. I feel on top of the world after a hit."
Looking back in time, has 2004 been satisfying for her, professionally? Two flops haven't dampened her spirit. Zinta admits that she's an "instinctive person who likes a role. If a film crashes at the ticket-window, I feel responsible, but I don't start brooding. Sometimes when you do a good film like Lakshya, put in a lot of effort and it still doesn't work, then you feel hurt."
Zinta, however, confesses that the greatest professional high this year will definitely be Veer-Zara, an "experience that I'm going to cherish all my life. Yashji (Chopra) is someone I've looked up to for years and when he gave me Zara's role I couldn't have asked for a better compliment. He's presented me so beautifully, I've never looked better. For all those who think flaunting your hour-glass figure is all that makes an actress, then this film is for them. Throughout the film I don't even wear a western outfit and still look credible. Finally, I think even critics will agree that there's more to me than my bubbly on screen image."
Does that bubbly, giggly image typecast her a lot? Zinta says that there are times when she relates a lot to the characters she plays, like Kal Ho Naa Ho's Naina, but she's aching to do "something more intense. Veer-Zaara should ideally be the first of those films. Another nagging rumour that irks her no end is when a certain section of the media links her with every co-actor of hers, married and single. "Earlier I'd be hopping mad. I still get offended by baseless rumours but I've have a film to talk about I just stay away from the usual round of interviews."
