After
a
short
hiatus,
Bollywood's
dimpled
beauty
Preity
Zinta
has
made
her
come
back
on
the
silver
screen
with
the
movie
Ishkq
in
Paris.
Preity
have
had
a
successful
Bollywood
so
far,
and
has
been
paired
in
films
opposite
almost
every
lead
actor
of
Bollywood.
In
her
latest
release,
Ishkq
in
Paris,
Preity
has
played
the
role
of
a
girl
named
Ishkq,
who
prioritises
her
career
more
than
relationships.
During
the
interview
with
Sonika
Mishra
from
Oneindia,
Preity
Zinta
spoke
extensively
about
her
film
Ishkq
in
Paris
and
a
few
other
things.
You
have
entered
the
field
of
production
with
Ishkq
in
Paris.
How
different
is
it
to
work
as
a
producer
and
as
an
actor?
I
feel
as
a
producer,
you
don't
have
a
viewpoint
in
the
film.
But,
as
a
writer,
you
have
a
viewpoint.
I
have
also
worked
in
the
script
of
this
film,
so
I
have
included
few
of
my
viewpoints
in
the
flick.
Like,
I
had
to
shoot
at
the
Eiffel
Tower,
Paris.
I
had
spent
a
lot
and
it
almost
took
8
long
months,
and
finally
I
shot
at
Eiffel
Tower.
And
now,
I
feel
really
very
good.
What
made
you
cast
Rehman
Mallik
for
Ishqk
in
Paris?
Why
didn't
you
approach
a
bigger
star?
Do
you
ask
the
same
question
to
Shahrukh
and
Salman
Khan,
who
have
acted
with
new
heroines
in
several
movies.
Rehman
was
cast
in
the
film,
since
he's
new
and
he
can
bring
a
freshness
in
it.
People
love
to
see
fresh
faces,
so
he
was
chosen
for
the
role.
You
had
to
face
a
lot
of
problems
for
the
film,
ever
since
its
shooting
till
its
release.
Please
tell
us
something
about
it.
When
we
were
shooting
at
France,
we
had
to
face
the
terrible
cold
weather.
We
faced
a
tough
time
due
to
extreme
cold
weather.
Then,
when
the
movie
was
all
set
for
release,
Prem
got
cancer,
and
his
father
passed
away.
So,
we
had
to
face
several
problems.
Was
it
difficult
to
work
with
a
newcomer?
Yes,
it
was,
because
you
got
to
remind
him
what
is
right
and
what
is
wrong.
But,
Rehman
has
worked
really
hard
for
the
film.
You
are
getting
back
to
the
silver
screen
after
a
long
time.
Today,
your
competitors
have
surpassed
you
in
some
or
the
other
way,
while
there
are
many
young
actresses
in
the
industry
too.
What
do
you
have
to
say
about
that?
I
don't
think
in
this
way.
When
I
first
came
into
the
industry,
even
then,
there
were
several
bigger
stars
ahead
of
me.
But,
I
made
a
niche
for
myself
in
Bollywood.
I
don't
know
that
now
I
have
to
make
a
place
for
myself
again
in
the
industry.
I
already
have
a
place
for
myself
in
the
industry.
Today,
I
don't
have
prove
myself
here.
Now,
I
want
to
act
only
in
those
movies,
which
I
like.
Was
there
a
pressure
on
you,
since
this
is
your
first
release
as
a
producer?
Yes,
I
was
a
bit
nervous
and
tensed.
Is
your
character
in
the
film
somewhere
related
to
your
real
life?
No,
there's
no
connection
between
my
character
in
the
film
and
my
real
life.
Once
I
had
a
fight
with
a
reporter,
over
this
same
question.
Years
back,
when
my
film
Chori
Chori
Chupke
Chupke
was
released,
someone
asked
me
if
my
character
in
the
film
is
related
to
my
real
life.
I
asked
the
person
what
kind
of
question
was
this.
I
was
playing
the
role
of
a
sex
worker
in
that
movie,
and
he's
saying
that
the
role
is
connected
to
my
real
life.
Salman
Khan
did
an
item
dance
in
your
film?
Was
he
the
lucky
mascot
for
your
film?
For
the
world,
Salman
Khan
is
the
superstar,
but
for
me,
he's
my
friend.
I
felt
nice
that
he
worked
in
my
film.
Salman
has
a
larger-than-life
screen
presence.
People
love
to
watch
him
onscreen.
You
did
not
attend
Cannes
Film
Festival,
2013?
Do
you
miss
the
event?
Yes,
I
do.
Ever
since
I
joined
IPL,
I
had
stopped
going
to
the
Cannes.
In
the
past,
only
Aishwarya
and
I
used
to
visit
Cannes
regularly.
But
since
IPL
started
(April-May),
I
didn't
get
the
chance
to
go
to
the
Cannes.
Do
you
have
any
future
plans
to
make
women-oriented
films?
So
far,
I
have
been
busy
for
Ishqk
In
Paris.
I'll
see
in
the
future....
