Preity's slender frame, expressive eyes and vivacious personality make her one of India's most popular objects of desire. It's little wonder that she has been romantically linked to famous co-stars like Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aamir Khan, and model Marc Robinson. She is currently dating Ness Wadia, whose mother is the head of the GladRags company in India.

Maureen Wadia’s famous quote where she said she didn’t care if younger son Ness married Preity Zinta or a zebra has always haunted the relationship between the Bollywood dream girl and the Wadia scion. While both the women have tried to reiterate that all was well between them, the buzz refuses to die down.

Larger Than Life

The Veer Zara girl has some very valuable things to offer. Check these quotes from her:

"To act, you must know pain. You must know what it means to be in love, what it means to be rejected."

"You know what's the worst part about being an actress? It's the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I'm not perfect, nobody is."

"Acting can truly take a toll on your nerves. I mean we have to be larger than life. Worse, I've seen actors acting off the sets too."

Bubbly, easy-going and always smiling, Preity has oodles of charm to spare. Don't let her carefree demeanor deceive you, though, the Simla native is more than just a pretty, dimpled face. "I am a born killer," she says, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. "I kill with my wit. It's easy to be a clown. All you have to do is talk before you think." Keen insights like that are typical for Preity, a university graduate with a degree in criminal psychology. When not singing and dancing on screen, Preity likes to write and has even penned three columns for BBC South Asia. Clearly this Bollywood beauty is more than meets the eye.

Here are some quotes from Bollywood Actress Preity Zinta as told to some journalists:

On the changing face of Indian cinema "At one time I wondered if I was doing the right films, today I know I have made the right choices. Indian cinema is changing, not step by step but by leaps. New blood is coming in, mindsets are changing and our exposure to the world is ever- increasing. I am glad these positive changes are happening when I am in the industry and not ten years from now."

On love at first sight "It is superficial to fall in love with someone looking at their face. To me I need to discover the person. I would never look at someone and exclaim - He is the one!"

"I lost my father when I was 13-years-old. He was a great man, my father, and very intelligent. I love him very much. I believe it's very important that parents have a personal connection with their children. It helps kids feel more secure, have a feeling of family, makes them feel loved."

"Whenever I came across something that influenced me, I wanted to be that. So it varied from an astronaut, air hostess, army girl, to truck driver. Once, I wanted to be a nun - my mother wanted me to change schools after that..."

Preity is one of those rare people who did not have to work at getting herself work in the industry despite being an outsider in the industry. She was goodlooking, smart, spontaneous and intelligent. Producers cast her easily in their films.

Preity's histrionics were in display in the small role she did in Mani Ratnam's Dil Se. Soldier was a step forward towards stardom. Kya Kehna clinched her fate. She is a big contender for the place in the zenith.
