Preity Zinta is the brand ambassador for bravery awards

  • IndiaGlitz, [Friday,December 01 2006]

Knowing for keeping a firm stand when being on the right side of things, Preity Zinta has been chosen as a brand ambassador for bravery awards sponsored by Godfrey Philips, the Indian subsidiary of Philip Morris.

To promote the awards, Preity Zinta has shot for a commercial that emphasizes on standing up when the chips are down and being brave in the face of adversities.

Incidentally, Preity herself has been a recipient of this award a few years back when she was recognized for sticking to her testimony about the link between Bollywood and organized crime.

As per reports, her steady testimony was all the more praiseworthy because other witnesses had withdrawn their earlier statements. Zinta claimed to have received threatening calls from the underworld while she was shooting for the film 'Chori Chori Chupke Chupke' in 2000.
