Preparing for a highly appreciated mighty role in a globally acclaimed film like ‘Videsh’ is far better than doing several less challenging characters.

This is exactly what Preity Zinta did while several sections of the media in Bollywood were busy targeting her as an out-of-work actress.

Her decision proved to be extremely rewarding as the lady got the best actress award at the prestigious Chicago International Film Festival.

Justifying her decision to be extremely choosy, Preity says that perceptions change as time passes by and now she has higher goals and varied dreams.

She explains that as an actress, now she is in a very happy state of mind as she can feel growth inside her.

Preity also adds she has turned down several roles as she just cannot do the kind of roles suited for the younger heroines of B-Town.

And while killing time in her old age, she can look back and always feel proud of the fact that she was part of a film like ‘Videsh’.

Good thinking, Preity.

With a powerhouse performance in Deepa Mehata’s film, you have proved to be one of the best acting talents of India.

We really feel that a more glorious phase in your acting career has started.
