Preity Zinta Detailed Biography -

Luckily for Preity, 'Dil Se..' was her first release. The film bombed at the box-office, but Preity's dazzling smile and pleasant disposition in a small but significant role left behind a decidedly happy impression. With 'Dil Se..' Preity had already proved she could act. 'Soldier' (1998) and 'Sangharsh' (1999) have merely reiterated this fact. In the former she played an impish, spoilt rich girl with great conviction. In the latter she was equally at ease executing the part of a gritty young CBI trainee in search of a dreaded killer. She made a mark in the industry with her film "Kya Kehna".

She's hit the highway 2003 year with two good performances The Hero and Armaan and one big hit Koi... Mil Gaya. The road ahead looks even better, plum projects with Yash Chopra, Karan Johar and Farhan Akhtar have taken care of that. Recently seen in movies 'Kal Ho Naa Ho' & 'Lakshya'. However, Preity, a relentless self-improver, doesn't take her success lightly. Or too seriously either, for that matter. Maybe that's why she enjoys it so much.

Preity, a graduate in Psychology, is so pretty, outspoken and a beautiful actress-dancer who keeps smiling all the time with a dimple on her right cheek. She acted in one movie in Tollywood too. She dated Marc Robinson, one of the hottest models in India, Model and TV anchor (2001) now, broke up with Marc Robinson.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra's arrived. The second female ever to win a Filmfare Best Villain Award for her role in Aitraaz, Priyanka's now enjoying the limelight as the leading lady in a number of Bollywood flicks.

After Krrish, Don and Salaam-e-Ishq, Priyanka is doing Love Story 2050, Drona and God Tussi Great Ho. In fact, Love Story 2050, a futuristic film, promises to show her in a 'shockingly' different role. And Hollywood offers are pouring in as well, keeping Priyanka on a high.

Another thing taking her high is India's win at the Twenty20 World Cup. Yes, the lady's a cricket enthusiast and we couldn't resist asking her about the nation's win in South Africa. "I am so excited!

We won the World Cup! It was really a nail biting match. The boys put up an exceptional show in spite of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly's absence. MS Dhoni's captaincy was fantastic. He supported the team very well. I loved the team work," she gushes at the mere mention of the final match between the Indian and Pakistani cricket teams.

Priyanka says she was positive India was going to bring home the cup.

"When India won the toss, I felt it was a sign. I hope every child in India forgets the last World Cup and remembers this win for years to come. No one expected a final between India and Pakistan. And I think Shah Rukh Khan's presence proved a lucky charm," she says of her Don co-star.

Some of her exuberance, however, fades when you steer the topic to her injury. On the sets of Drona, Priyanka experienced a mishap. "I tore my abdomen muscle while doing a somersault stunt for a combat scene in Drona without warming up. I thought I was Krrish! But I couldn't relax. I had to shoot for a song sequence immediately after. I used some ice packs and plasters to heal it," says the brave beauty. In Drona, Priyanka plays bodyguard to Abhishek Bachchan's character.

Talking about abs, Did she see SRK's? He's sporting a beefy look these days. "I think his efforts are really commendable. I think he inspires everybody to have a great physique. In fact, I am all inspired to hit the gym now," she replies. The gym workout might help if rumors are to be believed. It seems that the former Miss World is being considered for Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion, a bleak look at the underbelly of the glam world.

Ask her about this and she is non-committal. "Nothing is final at the moment, so I can't comment on it," she says. Priyanka shies away from comment when you ask about her legal battle with former secretary Prakash Jaju too. "The matter has been finalized and we have come to a mutual agreement" is all she is willing to divulge.

Catch her on whether she features in the sequel to Krrish and her reply is near about the same. "I don't know yet. That's something you would have to ask Rakesh Roshan. Do ask him," she smiles. If fielding uncomfy questions was an Olympic game, Priyanka would win hands down!

On Hollywood rumors, however, she is more forthcoming. Reports say that Priyanka turned down Ashok Amritraj's Hollywood production. "The dates didn't work out. I have been busy shooting for Love Story 2050 and Drona. There's also God Tussi Great Ho. In between these I couldn't find the time to accommodate his film," she reveals.

However, this doesn't mean that the model-actress is not considering Hollywood projects. It's just that she wants to choose carefully. "I want to be king of one than be a jack of all. But that doesn't mean I won't do English films. Whether it is a Hindi film or Kannada or Bengali, as long as it interests me, I'll do it," she avers. Going global her way, that's Priyanka for you.

Salman Khan - the new Tarzan!

Salman has just signed on a film called Tarzan, set in the jungles. Salman will sport a new look for the film, which will go on the floors next year.


"I was always fascinated by Tarzan stories and I am glad that I have got a chance to do the film," Salman told reporters in Mumbai. "I want to do the film for children," the actor said. "I have found out that I have a huge fan following among kids, and I want to dedicate this film to them." said Salman.

"I will get a new hairstyle for this film. It will be as popular as my hairstyle in Tere Naam. I want a different kind of look that will become a style statement," Salman added.

Asked if he was prepared to stay in a jungle, Salman exclaimed, "Of course! Tarzan lived in a jungle with wild animals. You will see that element in my film too. I only hope animal activists don't come after my life before the film begins!" he laughed.

Does he see a market for such kinds of movies? "If (actor) Hemant Birje could make Tarzan a hit film 20 years ago, then I am sure I too can make it."

It seems that Salman has been inspired by Aamir Khan and his new children's film, Taare Zameen Par. Salman's film will be directed by Anees Bazmee who directed No Entry, one of Salman's biggest hits.
