Career

In 1997, Preity Zinta’s journey into acting began unexpectedly when she accompanied a friend to an audition in Mumbai. She caught the eye of director Shekhar Kapur, who insisted she audition herself. Although she had never planned on becoming an actress, Kapur saw potential in her and recommended her for a role in Mani Ratnam’s film “Dil Se..” Despite her initial reluctance, Zinta accepted the offer, motivated by the challenge of playing diverse roles.

Her first film, “Dil Se..,” released in 1998, featured her in a supporting role opposite Shahrukh Khan. Despite limited screen time, Zinta’s performance garnered attention, especially for her forthright character. The film didn’t do well in India but found success internationally. Zinta’s next release, “Soldier,” was a commercial hit, earning her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.

She continued to explore different genres, starring in Telugu films before appearing in “Sangharsh,” where she portrayed a CBI officer. Although the film didn’t fare well at the box office, Zinta’s performance received praise from critics.

In 2000, Zinta’s career gained momentum with the success of “Kya Kehna,” where she played a teenage single mother. Her portrayal earned her critical acclaim and her first nomination for Best Actress at the Filmfare Awards. The same year, she starred in “Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega” and “Mission Kashmir,” both of which contributed to her rising popularity.

The following years saw Zinta in a variety of roles, including a prostitute in “Chori Chori Chupke Chupke” and a conflicted lover in “Dil Chahta Hai.” Her performances were well-received, earning her nominations and accolades. In 2003, Zinta had three major successes with “The Hero: Love Story of a Spy,” “Koi… Mil Gaya,” and “Kal Ho Naa Ho.” These films solidified her position as a leading actress in Bollywood.

She continued to deliver noteworthy performances in films like “Lakshya” and “Veer-Zaara.” Despite some setbacks, Zinta’s versatility as an actress remained evident. In 2007, Zinta ventured into art films with “The Last Lear” and “Heaven on Earth.” Her performances in both films earned critical acclaim and showcased her range as an actress.

After a brief hiatus, Zinta returned to the screen with “Ishkq in Paris” in 2013, which she also co-wrote. Despite mixed reviews, Zinta’s performance was praised. In 2018, she appeared in “Bhaiaji Superhit” after a five-year break from acting. Her performance received mixed reviews.
