It is a fantastic day for everyone. It is awesome and had to happen. Rahman is a very humble and sweet man. He was knocking on the door for so long. He had done excellent music for Lagaan too. Gulzar can write lyrics you cannot even think of.   for Slumdog Oscar award.

 

 

She is the most loved girl. She is loved for her face which tells so many interesting and exciting stories, for her dimples which hide so many mysteries, loved for her effortless performances even in films that are not so good, films she has probably done for a friend or someone associated with someone who is associated with someone who is associated to someone else and finally reaches her.

She is loved by the elders because they would like to have a daughter or a grand-daughter like her. She is loved by the young because she is so overflowing with the spirit of youth. She is loved by the teenagers who would love to have her as a beloved, a loved one or a sister. She is loved by entire families because they would love to have someone like her as a part of their family and bring them light.

She is loved by little girls because she is just like a favourite doll of a little girl who is her best friend and can shared her secrets. She is the most loved young woman not only in India but in different parts of the world today. She is loved because she is an actress who is outstanding, a little girl who has not enjoyed all the days of being a normal young girl. She is one of the most loved ones among the poor and the illiterate but their only problem is that they cannot pronounce her name, they do not know how to call her Preity Zinta. They have never heard of a name like this anywhere but they have not made her name an issue.

Just saw this interesting post in expressindia.

 

 

High on her list of priorities for her birthday today is a determination to do her best to clean out her city. "After Slumdog Millionaire, I realised, 'Shit, this is how Mumbai is being seen in the West! I want a clean Mumbai. First of all, we need to look into the problem of illegal immigrants. In India, 'Mehmaan Bhagwan hota hai.' I urge immigrants to come to Mumbai through the right channels and they'll be welcome. There are slums coming up all over Mumbai because of arbitrary migrants."

 

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has adopted 34 orphan girls from the Mother Miracle School in Hrishikesh. She will finance the entire cost of diet, hostel fees, school fees, clothing & uniform and other incidental costs for all these 34 girls until they complete their education and become earning members.

 

The actress speaking of her new responsibility said "It is an amazing feeling to be part of the girls lives. I am going to make it a point to visit them at least twice a year. They are my children now and I am going to make it a point to visit them at least twice a year".

Preity also says that the horrors of female foeticide and child abuse are no longer just headlines for her and that she has plans to adopt more girls in the future.

Preity, you certainly have a mind that is more beautiful than your face.

"I had a party and the police came and put the music off, plus fined (Rs.5000) me, which I paid on the same night," Preity said, in a press statement. "I have receipt for the same. The music did not come up again as mentioned on some sensational (news) channels."

 

"Journalism is about investigation and reporting the facts. Things like, I broke the law and no action was taken on me plus a rich versus poor story on television channels is upsetting. I am a law abiding citizen so please check your facts before putting it on television," Preity added.

 

Preity Zinta was the top celebrity in endorsing consumer durables brands (17%) on TV during 2008.
