/> Arshad Warsi and Preity Zinta share an identical predicament. They've to play 'bad' actors in their latest films.

While in Anil Kapoor's production Shortcut Arshad plays bad actor, in Rituparno Ghosh's Last Lear Preity is cast as a bad actress.

That isn't the only problem the actress had to face. Preity had a very real problem on the sets of Jahnu Baruah's Harr Pal.

Pritam Chakraborty has done the music score. Every time someone mentioned his name she thought they were calling out to her, because Pritam is the name given to her by Bobby Deol.

Harr Pal has been one of Preity's toughest roles ever. But the role of the Punjabi NRI wife in Deepa Mehta's Heaven On Earth has been her toughest yet. She's still carrying the invisible wounds of the battered wives' character.

The shooting was wrapped up on Sunday.

Doing Rituparno Ghosh's Last Lear posed its own problems for Preity. She had never worn a sari or a bindi in her life.

"Suddenly Ritu-da asked me to stick on Bindis that were almost as large as my face. Initially I was most reluctant. But then I surrendered completely to his vision. I'm actually looking pretty in Last Lear."

Even the international critics have noticed. The reviews make a special mention of Preity.

In its review Variety mentions, "It's an interesting paradox to watch a star like Zinta deliver a good performance as a woman who's widely known as a bad thespian."
