Preity tries to reinvent herself
For a while it seemed Preity Zinta was going the Aamir Khan way, doing only a
few films a year. But with four films releasing in quick succession Jahnu
Barua's Har Pall, Samir Karnik's Heroes, Deepa Mehta's Heaven On Earth and
Rituparno Ghosh's 'The Last Lear' the lady seems to have broken her own rule.
"My approach towards work has been completely different from what I have done
earlier," says Preity, "I have grown as an actor, I've grown richer in
experience." "Surprisingly, I changed my trend and did all the serious films
I would have never done otherwise. I used to rebuff these producers by saying
I don't want to do films that don't pay and are not watched by audiences. But
when I realised what potential they had, I did them. Next year, I plan to go
back to the bubbly roles I did earlier," she laughs.
Do you try and reinvent yourself, we ask. "Newness in work makes me feel
charged. While I try to reinvent myself, I get up with a freshness, derive
inspiration from the surroundings. At the same time I have turned down many
roles because I did not agree with the logic. I don't mind playing a total
bimbette in a movie. At least it's not giving out some negative message,"
says Preity. |
