People feel I am best suited for glamorous roles – Preity Zinta

We’ve seen Preity Zinta enacting the most glamorous parts in films produced by the Johars and Chopras. But the talented actress will be seen in a deglam look in Deepa Mehta’s VIDESH – HEAVEN ON EARTH, which opens in India next week in Hindi and Punjabi versions.

The pretty actress has enacted a wide variety of roles in the past, but Deepa offers her a role that most actresses would die for, a role that demands a terrific actress to infuse life into it.

And Preity scores brownie points for making Chand [her name in the film] so believable. It wouldn’t be erroneous to state that Preity delivers her career-best performance in this film.

“A lot of people feel I am best suited for glamorous roles. I took this role as a challenge,” Preity tells me. Of course, a number of actresses have enacted the part of a battered wife before, but Deepa gives a twist to the tale and so does Preity, to her character. You can’t draw parallels with any role/actress for sure.

VIDESH – HEAVEN ON EARTH also throws light on how some people carry on with their lives on a foreign land [Canada in this case] in extreme adversities, which would serve as an eye-opener once this film releases.
