“SHOCKING FIRST FILM ROLE, EVERYONE SAID MY CAREER WILL BE OVER” – ACTRESS OPENS UP

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, who made her acting debut in the film ‘Dil Se’, shared her experience of playing the role and working on the film ‘Kya Kehna’, which won her much recognition as an actress.

The actress posted a short video from the movie and a heartfelt message which reads, “I remember everyone was shocked that I chose to play an unwed teenage mom in my first film. ‘Your career will be over before it starts. Have you gone mad?’That’s what everyone said. Today I look back and I’m grateful to Ramesh Taurani and Honey Aunty for this amazing film and to Saif (Ali Khan) and Chandrachur for being patient and awesome.”

The actress also expressed what the film means to her and said, “This film is a constant reminder to follow your heart and gut and not worry about what everyone says.”

‘Kya Kehna’ was supposed to be Preity Zinta’s first release, but got postponed to 2000, making ‘Dil Se’ her first release in 1998.
