Preity Zinta filmography
Preity Zinta is an Indian actress known for her work in Bollywood films. She made her debut in 1998 with a supporting role in the drama Dil Se.. and starred in the commercially successful thriller Soldier.[1][2] For the films, she won a Filmfare Award in the Best Female Debut category.[1] In 1999, Zinta played the role of a CBI officer in the psychological thriller Sangharsh.[3] She followed this with the role of a teenage single mother in the Kundan Shah-directed drama Kya Kehna (2000),[1][3] a sleeper hit.[4][5] That same year, she starred in the romance Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega, and the crime drama Mission Kashmir, the third highest grossing Bollywood film of the year.[6]
In 2001, Zinta featured in the dramedy Dil Chahta Hai, which is cited in the media as a defining film of Hindi cinema.[7] Later that year, she portrayed a prostitute-turned-surrogate in the romantic drama Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.[8] Her only screen appearance of 2002 was in the box-office flop Dil Hai Tumhaara.[5][9] Zinta featured in four films in 2003. Her first role of the year was opposite Sunny Deol in Anil Sharma's drama The Hero—the most expensive Bollywood film to that point.[10] She played a negative role in the romantic drama Armaan, which saw her portray a rich, schizophrenic woman.[11] Following this, she starred in two blockbusters—the science fiction film Koi... Mil Gaya and the drama Kal Ho Naa Ho.[12] For the latter, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Actress.[13]
Zinta played a journalist in the 2004 war drama Lakshya, which performed poorly at the box-office.[14] Also in 2004, she played the titular female role in Yash Chopra's star-crossed romance Veer-Zaara opposite Shah Rukh Khan.[15] The film emerged as the year's highest grossing Bollywood film.[16] She then appeared in the 2005 romantic comedy Salaam Namaste and the 2006 ensemble drama Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, both of which performed well outside India.[17][18] While she played a radio jockey in Salaam Namaste,[19] Zinta was seen as an unhappily married woman in the latter.[3][20] She followed it with roles in the commercial failures Jaan-E-Mann (2006) and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom (2007).[21][22] Zinta appeared in the Canadian film Heaven on Earth (2008), her first international production.[1]
In 2011, Zinta hosted the reality show Guinness World Records – Ab India Todega and the chat show Up Close & Personal with PZ. That same year, she also launched her production company, PZNZ Media,[23] under which she produced and starred in the 2013 romantic comedy Ishkq in Paris, which performed poorly at the box-office.[24]
