Preity Zinta will forever be etched in our hearts as the dimpled beauty of Bollywood. 90s kids will remember her for her roles in Veer Zaara and Kal Ho Naa Ho. Here are her top five iconic roles.
Kya Kehna
At the beginning of her career, Zinta played the role of Priya Bakshi, a teenager who becomes a single mother. The movie was quite ahead of its times and Zinta blew us away with her terrific performance.
Sangharsh
The diva played the role of the CBI Officer Reet Oberoi who took charge to find the culprit behind a series of child abduction cases. Her brilliant stint gave the audience goosebumps.
Chori Chori Chupke Chupke
The film saw Zinta play a sex worker who agrees to be a surrogate mother for Raj and Priya's child (Salman Khan and Rani Mukherji). This was considered a taboo, but she pulled off the role perfectly.
Kal Ho Naa Ho
The character of Naina is one of the most celebrated roles played by Zinta. Her dull life after her father's loss completely changes upon the arrival of Aman (Shah Rukh Khan) who makes her believe in love.
Veer Zaara
Zinta essays the role of Zaara, who hails from a powerful political family in Pakistan who falls in love with the Indian Air Force pilot (Shah Rukh Khan), and the rest of the film shows the trials and tribulations their cross-border love faces.
