Nazia, who has been making news on her family connections, acknowledges to being compared with dynamic actress Preity Zinta but strives to create her own persona.
`I have always been compared with Preity Zinta. That is a huge compliment; she is beautiful, but I want people to like me for my own!` says the dimpled Nazia.
Aditya Samanta, grand son of filmmaker Shakti Samanta, her co-star in the Movie Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai, comments, `I always had a secret crush for Preity Zinta. Those who have seen the promos and the trailers feel that Nazia and me share a great chemistry and look good together.
`For now we all hope that this chemistry works its magic at the box-office too,` he said. The buzz is that Preity does not mind her lookalike Nazia's presence at all.
Meanwhile, Nazia says is a fitness enthusiast. However, going to the gym is a boring task for her and she would rather prefer to run.
While shooting for Yeh Jo Mohobbat Hai they had a heavy schedule in Udaipur. Nazia did not know the streets and bylanes very well and yet did not want to miss her daily cardio.
She coaxed co- star Aditya Samanta to come along with her for a sprint early in the morning. She used to give him a wake up call every morning at 5am and they used to go jogging, exploring the city in a sense.
The duo really got along very well and share a close bond. Nazia's film Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai produced by Aradhana Films releases on August 3.
