She was the leading lady of two of the biggest hits of last year, Koi...Mil Gaya and Kal Ho Na Ho. However, unlike other heroines who would not fight shy of staking claim to the
success, Preity Zinta has her feet firmly planted on the ground. ‘‘Acting is a part of my life, it is not my entire life. This keeps me grounded. If I am Preity Zinta the star today, it is not because of me but because of the production house that backs me, the scriptwriter who writes a role for me, a director who puts his life into the film, the music director who scores good music, the cameraman who shoots me really well and lightmen who work day and night. I will not be where I am if it was not for the combined efforts of all these people. I have worked hard for my success but I cannot deny them their due.’’
Preity is looking for an encore this year with two important films getting ready for release. While one is Farhan Akhtar’s Lakshya, the other is Yash Chopra’s untitled film. ‘‘Lakshya is one of the toughest film of my career. I hope it works.’’ With the goodwill of all her fans, this wish of Preity will definitely come true.
