Preity Zinta Photos and Videos

Preity Zinta pleasantly surprised friend Hrithik Roshan when she complimented him for his performance in “Kites”, which has got a drubbing at the box office.

“Hey Duggu! You looked like a god in ‘Kites’! Sigh! Saw it today! You did a great job in the movie,” Preity posted on Hrithik’s Twitter page.

Hrithik replied saying: “Hey Pree! Courageous of you complimenting me for ‘Kites’! But don’t say it too loud, somebody might hear you.”

The two have been great friends and even worked together in films like “Mission Kashmir” and “Koi… Mil Gaya”.

Preity consoled Hrithik saying: “My darling, films fail, actors don’t! Have always been proud of you since ‘Mission Kashmir’ as you are one of the brightest stars on this horizon.”

Salman Khan says he is supporting actress Preity Zinta’s Kings XI Indian Premier League team, though he admits he hasn’t watched any of the matches in season-3 of the tournament.

“I am supporting Zinta’s team, but I haven’t watched any of the matches as yet,” Salman told reporters at the ‘mahurat’ (inauguration) of Rahul Dholakia’s film “Society” here on Tuesday.

The film has been produced by Smita Thackeray, who is daughter-in-law of Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray.

Salman believes that media shows the face of society so it should not amplify trivial issues.

Preity Zinta, who was Thursday appointed as the goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS in India, will create awareness against AIDS along with the members of her Indian Premier League (IPL) team Kings XI Punjab.

“All our players will sport red ribbons during their matches. In our first match against Delhi Daredevils, we will take an HIV positive person to the toss to convey our message against stigma and discrimination,” Preity said here.

“Me and my team will produce a short commercial to spread awareness against the disease. I will be there, our captain Kumar Sangakkara and other players will also be there,” she added. Besides, Kings XI Punjab will donate 25 percent of the profit they will earn from selling their merchandise to UNAIDS, which will decide its usage for the betterment of HIV positive people.

On being appointed goodwill ambassador for UNAIDS, Preity said: “I have done many roles. This one is different. I am very happy.”

Rs.600 crore. An adopted daughter. 34 orphan girls. An adopting mother. Common thread: Preity Zinta.Even as the media raked up the muck on the Zinta and Ness Wadia romantic fissure, there was fresh meat for the scribe tribe to chew on.

Shandar Amrohi, scion of the legendary filmmaker Kamaal Amrohi, is locked in a fierce legal battle with his sister Rukhsar and her son Waseem, insinuating that the duo had fraudulently pledged his shares in Mahal Pictures Pvt. Ltd (that owns the renowned Kamaal Amrohi studio) to a company in Pune. The lure in question: business and property valued at over Rs 600 crore!

Able support for Shandar has been forthcoming from his sibling Tazdar Amrohi… and an unlikely, starry supporter: Preity Zinta!

Reportedly, Shandar regards Preity as his “adopted daughter” and is considering bequeathing all his share of the property to her.

Legendary filmmaker Kamal Amrohi’s sons – Tajdar and Shandar Amrohi are gearing up for legal battle with a relative over a prime Mumbai property, and are full of praise for actress Preity Zinta for supporting them. They say “she is a blessing in disguise”.

“My brother (Shandar) considers Priety as his daughter. She is a blessing in disguise for us. She is a very strong girl and is fighting for the right cause. God bless her, ” Tajdar told over phone from Mumbai.

Tajdar and Shandar are jointly fighting a legal battle with a kin over the sprawling Kamalistan Studios off the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road. Though media reports say they are at loggerheads with their sister Rukhsar, Tajdar has refused to name anyone. However, others say their fight is with a Pune-based power broker and builder.

“I don’t want to name them right now. But the people I am talking about know who I am pointing towards, ” said Tajdar.

Citing the example of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta Wednesday pledged to work for the welfare of widows and said they could achieve a lot if given an opportunity.

Preity, 34, became the brand ambassador of Loomba Trust that supports widows and their children around the world.

“Sonia Gandhi is a perfect example. If a woman is not stolen off her opportunities, even if she is a widow, she can do great things and achieve a lot. This is more than enough reason to say that a woman can stand shoulder to shoulder with any man anywhere in the world,” Preity said at a press conference here.

“I have always held women’s causes in India very close to my heart. I have always felt that women get a raw deal. This cause was a little more close to my heart because I lost my father when I was very young,” said Preity, who lost her father at the age of 13.

Preity Zinta has a drema. The lovely lady who’s just 5 feet 5 inches wants to form an international basketball team called Dream Girls! Players for the squad are going to be world famous women who are film stars, supermodels, socialites, and you do not get anything for guessing the captain’s name right.

Preity came up with this idea to make money for her charity.

“Nobody knows I’ve been a gymnast for 11 years, I did karate for nine years, I am very good at basketball and I rifle shoot too,” she says flaunting her sporting background and adds, “We’ll be playing with professional basketball teams around the world. American experts from NBA will train us.”

She is also proud of her decision to buy an IPL team, “People said that it was a crazy idea to give one-and-a half years to IPL, but then today, financially, I don’t have to care for the rest of my life,” Zinta is quoted as saying.

Preity Zinta is back in Mumbai. People in the film industry had begun to wonder whether she had migrated from India. Preity laughs, “I haven’t migrated to the US or any other country. I’m not going anywhere. Mumbai is my home and I am working here. I took a much-needed break after the IPL.”

But while Preity was away, her home in Mumbai was ransacked and robbed, allegedly by her domestic help. She says, “Mere ghar main ho gayi solid chori. They took money and some jewellery. My mother came to Mumbai, spotted the theft and reported it immediately. It was her money that they took.”

After a six-week, well spent vacation with brother and friends, Preity is back. She has always been travelling extensively, “I’ve always been a gypsy. Whether for my outdoor shoots or holidays, I’m frequently out of the country. On my way back, I stopped over in London.”

Now she’s back to listening to scripts. “I’m listening to some really interesting projects. Hopefully, I’ll be signing a couple of films shortly. That would shut those up who want to write me off.”

It might be a while since Preity gave a bumper performance and a longer since she has looked fresh like earlier – but this is no reason why she would give in to copying her ‘better’ contemporaries. In a latest development, Preity Zinta was caught looking very much like Aishwarya Rai in the ‘Kajra Re’ number, and making a similar gang of guys sway to her verve. She is actually doing a special song for dear friend Salman Khan’s home production ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’.

Both Priety Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are the owners of IPL team. They are strong competitors and Preity accepted this very fact on the 10th anniversary celebration of FICCI. When Preity was asked about her competitor Shilpa, she said, “She is not going to play cricket.”

The actress then said, “I own a team, I am an investor in the team, I am the chairperson of the team. It is very difficult for them to digest that I am the boss.”

Preity might have forgotten that Shilpa Shetty is also the boss as she is the owner of the Rajasthan Royals. While Shilpa was literally correct saying, “Our teams are in competition.”

Shiney Ahuja has a support in the form of one actress who is feeling compassionate about the whole episode. Apparently, Preity Zinta thinks that Shiney Ahuja is one of those few unfortunate actors who is getting slammed down by media even before anything is confirmed.

The actress who is back in Mumbai post holidaying in Europe and the US to recuperate from her break-up with Ness Wadia said in an interview that she has enormous faith in the judiciary and that they will do justice with the actor.

Rumour has it that the actress had faced serious problems with Shiney Ahuja during the shooting of Har Pall; however, the actress has set aside all her differences at the time of crises in the actor’s life. The actress even expressed her anger on media for blowing the issue by saying that one must consider that Shiney has a family too and all this would only aggravate their sorrow and pain.
