History
Born in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, she studied at the Convent of Jesus and Mary School, Shimla. Her real name is Preetam Singh Zinta. At first she was going to do a English honours but decided to pursue psychology [2]. She also attended Bombay University. After getting a degree in criminal psychology at the St. Bedes College, Zinta began her career as a model and commercial (ad films) actress (she was seen in Lyril's soap ad film).
Her father, Durganand Zinta was an officer in the Indian Army. Durganand Zinta died when Preity was thirteen, in a car accident in which her mother, Nilprabha Zinta was also involved. Her mother was bedridden because of this incident. Zinta has two brothers, Deepanker Zinta and Manish Zinta, a year older and a year younger respectively. One of her brothers is a commissioned officer in the Indian Army.
Career
She was meant to make her acting debut with Shekhar Kapur's Tara Rum Pum Pum opposite Hrithik Roshan but the film never took off [3]. Her first movie to be released was supposed to be Soldier but due to delay Dil Se (1998) was released first. The film was her breakthrough role and she won the Filmfare Best Debut Award for her performance. Since then her career has been that of a typical Bollywood star: not many hits but not many flops either.
In 2003, Zinta was the female lead in two of the year's highest grossing films, Koi... Mil Gaya and Kal Ho Naa Ho. She won many awards for her role as "Naina" in Kal Ho Naa Ho. Her performance got her the Filmfare Best Actress Award [4]. Since then she has appeared in the averagely received Lakshya (2004) [5] and the box office hit Veer-Zaara (2004) [6] and the semi-hit Salaam Namaste (2005) [7]. Salaam Namaste turned out to be the biggest hit overseas.
She joined a group of top stars (Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Saif Ali Khan, Arjun Rampal, and Priyanka Chopra) in the Temptation 2004 concert, which was a huge international success. [8]
In May 2006, she along with Karan Johar received an invitation to represent Bollywood at the Cannes Film Festival. They took this opportunity to promote Karan Johar's latest film Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna which Preity also stars in. [9]
Zinta has written three columns for BBC South Asia.[10] [11] [12]
Personal life
She has been linked with a few of her co-stars such as Salman Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Aamir Khan but has always dismissed them as rumours. She is currently dating Ness Wadia, the heir to the Bombay Dyeing company. [13]
Previously, when she was not shooting she used to return to Shimla. Zinta recently moved into her own home in Mumbai, which she bought in mid-2005. [14]

Milte Hai Shahenshah Aaj Naye Don Se,
Sallu Deta Mithai Katrina Ke Ghar Mein,
Aamir Madhoosh Hai Kiran Ki Soonch Mein…
SRK Se Logo Ka Milna Ka Silsila Kabhi Na Ruka ,
Mithai Khaane Ke Liye Karan Laya Bhacho Ko Tofa,
Rani Ke Peeche Peeche Abhishek Bhi Hai Yaha Aya,
Vivek Bhi Aishwarya Se Chup Kar Yahan Hai Aya…
Doosri Taraf Dekha To Preity Ke Paas Hai Dawat,
Apni Muskaan Se Ki Hai Usne Ghar Ki Sajawat,
Bubbly Ki Batein Sun Kar Dekho Akki Hai Bhaaga,
Is Din Banjayenge Sab Ek, Jaise Ho Koi Ek Dhaaga…
Saari Hollywood Soonchne Laga Yeh Hai Aaj Kaun Sa Din,
Saare Bollywood Ke Sitare Jama Hai Aaj Ek Saath Ek Din,
Will Smith Ne Kiya Phone Gabbar Ko, Poucha Kaunsa Ha Din,
Gabbar Ne Kaha Arrey Oh Kalia Yeh To Hai Aaj EID Ka Din
Ishq ishq mein, pyaar pyaar mein number 1 punjabi
Dil lene mein, dil dene mein number 1 punjabi
Baisakhi mein bhangra paake mast rahe punjabi
Heer sohni ki dhun gaake mast rahe punjabi
O, ladki jo dekhe gulaabi, kar de dhamaal punjabi
Aankhein jo dekhe sharaabi, hai, kar de dhamaal punjabi
