What picture comes to your head when you think of Priety Zinta? A pair of cute dimples, bubbly, energetic and ‘girl-next-door’ face, right? This story is going to change soon, as Preity is pretty serious about earning critical acclaims. She has signed a film for director Rituparno Ghosh, who is known for his techniques in de-glamorizing glamorous girls and dealing with hard-hitting topics. The film would give her an opportunity to explore her dark side and prove that she is much more than the dimples and cute face.
“I've just signed a new film with Rituparno Ghosh. I'm very excited to work with him on this unusual and artistic film. It has an excellent star cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Arjun Rampal, Shefali Chaya and Divya Dutta,” said the pretty actress. She added that she has always been selective when it comes to films. She is going to announce a few films very soon that would indicate which way she is heading.
Meanwhile, her romantic life has blossomed and rumors are rife that she would give up films and tie the knot with her man Ness Wadia. However, she has ruled out the rumors by declaring that she is not ready for marriage at moment.
