Preity has the best year
Preity Zinta has already received awards and accolades for her role in Deepa Mehta's Heaven on Earth
but the actress says that if her recent film Heroes touched her heart, Heaven On Earth broke her heart.
"It is the story of a real woman. Each scene is true. I play the role of a battered and abused housewife in
the film. After I did the film I realised that domestic violence is such a universal problem," says Preity.
She adds, "I was traumatised when I was shooting for the film. I thought such things were fragments of
someone's imagination. It was the most humiliating experience of my life. I hope the government
makes the film tax free."
Preity received the Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress in the Feature Film Competition section at the
44th Chicago International Film Festival recently. "More than the woman, I want every man to see the
film. Women often break down but you cannot break down their spirit. The film is a powerful story of
hope and self discovery," says the actress. "My perception toward life and women has changed
completely after doing films like Heroes and Heaven On Earth. They way we treat our women is so
shameful. My respect for the female fraternity has grown ten fold. Often we ignore such issues but not
any more," she says. |  |
