Preity Zinta
I met Preity at a party.
When I saw her I said, "we're on."
She came to my studio with a backpacker with clothes just stuffed into it. I asked her, "How are you carrying your clothes?"
"That's the way I am," she said.
She carried short dungarees, and cute clothes in one bag.
This was much before her Liril and Perk ads. She was the highly educated girl from Shimla who came to Mumbai with a dream.
I asked my makeup artists Doris and Bharat (Godambe) to check this amazing new girl. I was very excited. I didn't want much make-up.
