Zinta was born into a Hindu Rajput family from Rohru in Shimla district, Himachal Pradesh.[1] Her father, Durganand Zinta, was an officer in the Indian Army.[10] He died in a car accident when she was 13 years old; the accident also involved her mother, Nilprabha, who was severely injured and consequently remained bedridden for two years. Zinta called the tragic accident and her father's death a significant turning point in her life, which forced her to mature rapidly.[11] She has two brothers; Deepankar and Manish, a year older and a year younger respectively. Deepankar is a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, while Manish lives in California.[12]
I'm really sad to hear about her dad. Many of us joke around about her including me but whatever she's doing now, I think her childhood must be one of the reasons. I can't imagine how difficult it must have been for her and I also now understand why she wanted to make Heroes.
What do you folks think?
Bade Achhe Lagte Hain
