Preity
Zinta
caught
everyone's
attention
when
she
debuted
in
Bollywood
with
a
small
role
in
Shah
Rukh
Khan-Manisha
Koirala
starrer
Dil
Se.
With
her
dimpled
smile
and
vivacious
charm,
the
actress
swayed
her
way
into
the
hearts
of
millions
to
become
one
of
the
most
popular
leading
ladies
in
the
2000s.
However,
the
actress
soon
disappeared
from
the
entertainment
circuit,
only
to
resurface
after
a
hiatus
of
several
years
with
Sunny
Deol's
2018
film
Bhaiaji
Superhit.
In
a
recent
interaction
with
Spotboye,
Preity
who
has
settled
in
the
US
after
tying
the
knot
with
Gene
Goodenough,
and
has
not
been
seen
on
the
big
screen
for
a
while
now,
opened
up
about
why
she
is
missing
from
Bollywood.
The
actress
told
the
entertainment
portal
that
she
cannot
be
involved
in
aggressive
PR
tactics
and
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
am
not
the
kind
of
person
who
will
stand
up
and
complain
about
anything.
I
have
no
complaints
against
anyone.
If
I've
been
away
from
the
entertainment
industry
it's
because
I
am
not
into
selling
myself.
You
won't
see
me
buying
space
to
get
written
about.
I
want
to
be
appreciated
for
the
work
that
I
do."
Preity
said
that
she
is
perturbed
by
the
changes
in
Bollywood
and
continued,
"The
one
thing
that
bothers
me
about
our
present
day
lifestyles
is
the
vulgar
stress
on
wealth.
An
individual's
success
is
measured
by
his
or
her
wealth
and
not
by
moral
values.
Today
you
are
not
judged
for
how
much
good
you
can
do
but
for
how
much
scandal
you
can
create
and
how
much
skin
you
can
expose."
The
actress
further
told
the
news
portal
that
she
is
amused
to
see
today's
kids
growing
up
without
heroes.
Preity
said,
"What
happened
to
those
dreams
of
being
Jawaharlal
Nehru
and
Lata
Mangeshkar?No
kid
wants
to
change
the
world.
According
to
me
a
hero
is
a
soldier
or
a
doctor,
not
a
film
star.
We
don't
appreciate
the
real
heroes
any
more.We
think
only
about
our
own
interests.
And
since
we've
no
role-models
in
real
life
we
hardly
have
roles
of
substance
in
films
except
for
an
occasional
Milkha
or
Jhansi
Ki
Rani."
Speaking
about
how
most
of
her
films
were
clean
entertainers,
the
Kal
Ho
Na
Ho
actress
added,
"Luckily
out
of
the
37
films
that
I've
done
36
have
been
'PG13'
(kids
below
13
can
see
the
films
when
accompanied
by
parents).
Only
my
Salaam
Namaste
was
for
adults
because
a
live-in
relationship
was
scandalous
back
then.
There
is
a
need
for
entertainment
designed
for
children.
We
don't
have
too
many
films
kids
can
watch
comfortably
with
their
parents.
Most
filmmakers
prefer
to
take
the
easy
route."
