Preity Zinta is certainly one of the most beautiful actresses in Bollywood. She made her acting debut alongside Shah Rukh Khan in 1998 in the film ‘Dil Se..’ and has delivered stellar performances in timeless classics like ‘Dil Chahta hai’, ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ and ‘Koi… Mil Gaya’. She hasn’t been active in Bollywood lately, however, her performances are not easy to forget.
Here are 15 of Preity’s best performances which will prove she’s more than just a ‘pretty’ face (see what I did there?):
1. For her first time, this was an exemplary performance.
2.“Kaam loafer ke aur baatein soldier ki.”
3. This was intense!
4. Her speech in this one… so moving.
5. “Humne tumhari yaad mein ro roke tub bhar diye … aur tum bewafaa aaye aur usmein naha ke chal diye.”
6. Those alluring eyes.
7. She played this role with so much grace.
8. After this film, I’m sure we all had a crush on Shalini.
9. “Zindagi mein kabhi kabhi pagalpan bahut zaroori hota hai.”
10. This film is one of my all time favourites!
11. “Aye chashmish!”
12. She did complete justice to the role of a journalist in this one.
13. And what a beautiful portrayal of Pakistani girl in this one.
14. “Main perfect nahi hoon, tum perfect nahi ho aur zindagi kabhi perfect nahi hogi … par tum mere liye hamesha perfect hogi”
15. “Tumhe kis baat pe zyada gussa aata hai … apni nakaamyabi se … ya meri kaamyabi par?”
Thank you, Preity Zinta, for so many love stories. You’ll always be one of my favourites! <3
