The actor is happy that she is getting more sober on screen and is not just a bubbly NRI girl-next-door
Preity Zinta is quite enjoying the change in her image and that all the films that are lined up for release portray her in a serious light.
“Films are a reflection of what you are. I am not the bubbly, NRI girl anymore,” she said.
The dimpled actress says she would from now on focus on characters who are closer to reality even while remaining in the mainstream, commercial format.
“I want to attempt roles which are unlike me in real life and bring respect to such characters on screen,” Preity adds.
The actor thinks that her gamble to take a year’s break from films has paid off,
“Whether I am successful or not, will be decided by the audiences.”
Preity says that her last release The Last Lear was a niche film, “It opened doors to a different world to me. The film received international appreciation. In India, audiences are not educated on Shakespeare and a film in English.”
The actor portrays two faces of a Punjabi woman in her upcoming movies and feels a ‘karmic connection’ with Punjab. Her character in Heroes is about Kuljit Kaur, a woman in rural Punjab who is a woman of substance. While in Deepa Mehta’s Heaven on Earth, Chand, a Punjabi woman living in Canada, is subjected to domestic violence.
“ One film is about giving the woman a chance and letting her flower. While the other deals with the theme that you can ill-treat a woman but can’t break her spirit,” she adds.
Speaking about Jahnu Barua’s Har Pal, Preity opines that the film helped her grow as an actress. “It gave me lot of scope for performance. It’s an original script. Besides this, I got to work with my favourite actor Dharmendra. Esha
Koppikar is the revelation in this film,” she ends.
