Why did Preity Zinta stopped acting? I don’t think Preity Zinta failed as an actress. When she was in the prime of her career, she was a part of so many different hit movies. I’d say she was quite successful in her prime years in Bollywood as a lead actress. She was also quite a favorite of mine; ever since I saw her in Soldier, I was a big fan.

What successes did she have as an actress?

She was a part of Über -successful movies like Soldier, Kya Kehna, Chori Chori Chupke Chupke, Dil Chahta Hain, Koi Mil Gaya, Kal Ho Naa Ho, Veer-Zaara, and Salaam Namaste. She was also a part of critically acclaimed movies like Dil Se, Sangharsh, Lakshya, and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna.

Why did she suddenly disappear from movies?

I think this is part of why Preity Zinta is sometimes considered a failure as an actress. I consider it to be an artifact of the way her exit from movies as a leading actress was rather abrupt, and not a gradual process.

She had a hit with Salaam Namaste in 2005, and then two flops in 2006 (Jaan-E-Mann and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom). I actually liked those two movies despite their failure. But that was it! After Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, she pretty much exited from Bollywood movies.

She did a few odd movies here and there after that, but just like that, her career as a leading actress was over. This was distinctly different from the career trajectory of her main rival, Rani Mukherjee.

The reason for her abrupt departure from movies was probably her engagement with Ness Wadia (and their resulting co-ownership of that one IPL cricket team). The engagement and friendship ultimately broke off.

They were together from 2005 until 2009 – her abrupt break from movies happened from 2006 onward. It was partly a planned departure and partly an unplanned one. The unplanned aspect was that after the breakup happened, she found that too much time had passed, and other actresses had muscled into the space she used to occupy.

I suppose she had thought she would leave movies while still on top instead of getting relegated to sisterly/sister-in-law roles (as what happened to Juhi Chawla). Sadly, the engagement with Ness Wadia did not work out into a marriage, and ultimately, ended up becoming a very nasty and bad breakup.

How did Preity Zinta’s journey to Bollywood start?

Preity Zinta was born on 31 January 1975 into a Rajput family from Shimla, Himachal Pradesh. Her father, Durganand Zinta, was an officer in the Indian Army.

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. 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.

After graduating with degrees in English honors and criminal psychology, In 1997, Zinta met Shekhar Kapur when she accompanied a friend to an audition in Mumbai and was asked if she would audition too.

Upon seeing her audition, Kapur insisted that she become an actress. She was originally scheduled to make her screen debut in Kapur’s Tara Rum Pum Pum opposite Hrithik Roshan, but the filming was canceled. She reminisced the experience: “I began to recognise the power of destiny.

I had no intention ever to be an actress. I wanted to be an air pilot actually. But destiny took me to Mumbai and without trying too hard, here I am as an actress.” Kapur later recommended her for director Mani Ratnam’s Dil Se.. (1998), a romantic thriller about a terrorist group in New Delhi. Zinta often recalls that when she joined the film industry, her friends teased her that she would typically “wear white saris and dance in the rain,” motivating her to play different parts.

Why did Preity Zinta choose surrogacy?

Preity Zinta and her husband, Gene Goodenough, are now parents to twins. The couple chose surrogacy to become parents. She also revealed the name of their two kids — Jai Zinta Goodenough and Gia Zinta Goodenough.

Preity took to Instagram to reveal, “Hi everyone, I wanted to share our amazing news with all of you today. Gene & I are overjoyed & our hearts are filled with so much gratitude & so much love as we welcome our twins, Jai Zinta Goodenough & Gia Zinta Goodenough, into our family. We are very excited about this new phase in our lives.”

The actor also thanked those involved with the pregnancy, “A heartfelt thank you to the doctors, nurses and to our surrogate for being part of this incredible journey.

Why did actresses like Preity Zinta, Sushmita Sen, Rani Mukerji, Sonali Bendre disappear from Bollywood?

That is the problem in Bollywood: the audience hasn’t liked an actress for a long time.

The other problem is our movies are not made for actresses.

Say movies like Queen, Tanu weds Manu, which gives more options to these ladies to showcase their talent.

Sorry, Sushmita Sen and Sonali Bendre were both divas but not good actors, to be honest.

it was pretty zinta’s mistake that she turned her interest much more to cricket than to Bollywood.

Rani Mukherjee was also Tragedy queen but she fell for aditya chopra and made bad with all the directors.she was greedy of bieng with most known family of bollywood.

Sushmita and Sonali Bendre knew that Bollywood was not meant for them; hence, they collapsed.

Conclusion

So anyway, to conclude – I’d say that she was a success as an actress and not a failure. It’s just that her abrupt exit from movies seems to have overshadowed her past successes in Bollywood. But anyway, she does appear to be quite happy now with her husband – I’d say they’re doing reasonably ‘Good enough’! 😉
