Now the actress after lying low for a while has reportedly signed a Yash Raj film with her 'Dil Chahta Hai' co-star Aamir Khan
But apart from her career, all this while there have been loads of talks about Preity Zinta's familial connections.
The buzz is that she got fed up of queries about her family background and has decided to tell one and all that she's British blood in her.
The actress explains, "Some people think I'm south Indian, while some feel I'm a Muslim. There have also been fans who have asked me whether I hail from Himachal Pradesh.
In the early 18th century, when marital alliances between the Rajput and British became quite common, the Zinta clan was born. I'm a rare combination of British and Rajput blood."
Well, Preity sure has blue blood. No wonder she behaves like a royal most of the time.
