Preity Zinta sure knows which side of the bread is buttered. The cherubic actress never seems to go out of the news. Be it the personal front or professional matters, she always keeps the gossip columnists interested.
While Preity has reason to be more than happy that Namrata Shirodkar's ex-beau, Deepak Shetty, is the new love interest in her life, she was just feeling a bit down career-wise. So what did she do? She first went out of her way to charm Sanjay Dutt who, she thought, would recommend her to hot shot director-friend Mahesh Manjrekar. She then turned her attention to reviving her friendship with Suzanne Khan-Roshan.
The ploy has paid off. She has landed the female lead role in Rakesh Roshan`s next film starring beta Hrithik. Preity resorted to every conceivable trick in the book to play up to papa Roshan, including offering to slash her price to less than half. Rakesh Roshan couldn`t resist the offer. But beware, Preity. Halving your price might be look like a good career move, but a film opposite Hrithik is unlikely to be your short cut to the big league. Ask Amisha Patel.
