What Preity Zinta will do in 2007
30th Dec 2006 14.00 IST
Bollywood star Preity Zinta wants to do more daring and unconventional roles in the year 2007.
Preity's two films in 2006 – Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Jaaneman – have given her a serious image
Preity told a news agency recently that she wants to break even more stereotypes in 2007 and that she is venturing into roles she has never done before.
Preity laughed about her two confrontational situations with the media in 2006 when she took on a tabloid and ticked off TV journalists who barged into her compound.
Preity revealed she's going skiing in Colorado for the New Year. "I've been in the snow a lot but never skiing. And I do want to learn a new sport. It's never too late to learn."
Preity said that she is looking forward to the release of her only film on the floor – Jhoom Barabar Jhoom .
After surviving the tsunami disaster in 2004, Preity's perception about life has changed.
"My first life-changing experience was when I was 14-year-old and my dad suddenly passed away. The second was tsunami. Today I'm a totally different person. When you see death so closely you realise what frivolous lives we really lead."
"2006 was a good year for me and I'm not talking about the box office. I've had a great year and 2007 is going to rock. I feel I've extra batteries inside me. I'm all charged up. And I'll be more in the country in 2007 than in the past few years," Preity said.
