Hot Preity Zinta

In 1995 a romantic drama of Hollywood film industry brought immense commercial success besides critical appreciation. This film was ‘Before Sunrise’ and it created much buzz at that time. The story of this film was about a young American man and a French woman.

They two meet on a train in Europe and part after spending a romantic evening together in Vienna. But least idea did they have that this was their last meeting. The lead pair was Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy and the director was Richard Linklater. The film was a blockbuster and later a sequel of it was even made ‘Before Sunset’.

Now it is Preity’s film which is loosely based on this movie. Preity’s movie is titled ‘Ishq in Paris’. She would be romancing a French actor in the movie whose name is a secret. Even the crew members don’t know the name which has been kept under wraps. A source close to Preity informs, “All I can tell you is that it’s a huge French star.”

The film would be going on floors in the next week of November. Reportedly Preity had finding a hero and so a French actor is being introduced to Bollywood. ‘Ishq in Paris’ would be set in France. The huge part of the film would be shot in Paris and would feature the tourist spots of the place including the Louvre Museum and Eiffel Tower.

A reliable source informs, “Preity Zinta has got an impressive fan base in France and she has got a special permission from the French Government to shoot at various spots with very minimal charges.”

Almost after a gap of two years Preity is making a comeback in Bollywood through her own production company, PZNZ Media, which she has recently launched.

The writer and director of the film Prem Soni however says that this film is not based on ‘Before Sunrise’.

Preity Zinta hiding Her Face At the Airport

Looking as stunning as always in a chic beige fedora with ankle length boots and donning a leather jacket Preity Zinta looked extremely beautiful. Anybody in her place would have posed for the camera in such a smart outfit.

Though Preity Zinta was looking beautiful and happening yet she refused to see eye to eye anyone. People present there at the airport can’t help wondering why was she doing so? Her cool and fashionable avatar was a matter of pride. But what was that she had been hiding her face from rest of the others.

Buzz was hot that reason for Preity’s shyness could be her discomfort after the cosmetic surgery she has gone through. Post going under the knife her fans and even she is not happy with the outcome. May be this is reason behind the hiding act of Preity.

Another reason might be her minus make up face which she was trying to hide from the camera lenses. But watch out baby! If you continue to walk with a down face you might hit a pole right in front of you. She might be thinking that to show off a face sans makeup is not a good idea indeed.

Or was it the thoughts and dreams of your Mr. Right that you were so engrossed in that you forgot the world around you. Well Preity, whatever it might be, we just hope next time you could be more receptive and alert to your surroundings and give a smile to your fans.
