Preity Zinta quotes

# “I believe people blend better than governments anyway. My sister-in-law is half-American and half-Pakistani. We don’t look at boundaries.”# “I’m sick of being bubbly. I’m sick of being talkative and I’m sick of being cute,”

# “I never thought I’d be an actor. I had never gone to film school or done a dance class.”

# ” To be brave is not to be fearless. It is when you fear and you get over it, then you can be called brave. I am human. It is not that I fear nothing. But getting over a fear is a continuous process and I have been successful so far.” [When she was honoured with Bravery Award]

# “I have a very good physical trainer and a very hectic schedule that is keeping me away from good food. And, of course, lots of branded good clothes.”

# “I have changed so much as a person. When I started I was this chitty-chatty person. But now, I am more calm and composed and I know what I want from life.”

# “Please do your homework before you report anything to the nation. You cannot target me and my boyfriend just because I am a film star. If you want to talk about me, then say I’m the most beautiful woman and I have the most amazing films. Why are you bringing in my boyfriend and me and creating this mess?” [ When the media wrote bad about her boyfriend Ness Wadia in 2006]
