– Preity Zinta

My mother always tells me that when I was a little kid, my first ambition was to be a truck driver, and after that, I went through everything from wanting to be a Prime Minister to an air hostess, but never an actor. So I became one, and it was a great journey. I learnt a lot, worked very hard.

In the end of the day, you are human. Film is a job which is not an individual job; you have tons and tons of people behind you – you have a whole crew of people working. But, an actor is the face of a film, so you get all of the good things, but you get the bad things, also.

Luck always favours the brave. And you must remember that brave are the people who follow their heart; brave are the people who take chances in life. Which also means you have to say no sometimes. I believe the power of no is greater than yes.

– Preity Zinta

Yes, you have to be brave enough to take steps that your heart is telling you to take. Because when I decided to go into cricket, not one person told me I was making the right move. At that time, nobody thought the IPL would become so big. I was nervous at that time, because suddenly I was in an uncomfortable spot.

– Preity Zinta

You know what’s the worst part about being an actress? It’s the pressure to look gorgeous all the time and to behave perfectly. But I’m not perfect; nobody is.

Shopping is a lot of fun, but I hate trying on clothes because I think I’ve done too many costume fittings and trials. I hate trying on clothes. Shoes I love. I mean, I love shoes. Anywhere, any place, any time, you take me to a shoe store.

I lost my father when I was 13 years old. He was a great man, my father, and very intelligent. I love him very much. I believe it’s very important that parents have a personal connection with their children. It helps kids feel more secure, have a feeling of family, makes them feel loved.

I am always friendly with people. When media asks me for a picture or interview, I readily do it. However, I wouldn’t like them clicking my picture when I am eating or when I visit a temple. I don’t want to be big in front of God.

If some actress thinks she is sexy and she can dance, it’s her choice. I do what I want to do, and I set my own benchmark. I will never compare myself with anyone.

I have grown up in Delhi in a way, and I keep coming here often. But, and I am sorry to say, I’ll always be nervous when in Delhi. In my college days, I have had my bum pinched around so many times. So yes, in Mumbai, I can just walk around and do what I want to do, but in Delhi I’ll always be scared.

There will always be competition, especially in showbiz. There’s always someone younger and hungrier standing behind you; there’s always someone with more contacts; there’s always someone whose grandfather or father is a filmmaker. I think your job is just to be there 100% – you work hard, and there are no shortcuts to success.
