Indian film actress Preity Zinta has an estimated net worth of $30 million. She was born on January 31, 1975 in Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India. She attended St. Bede’s College in Shimla, where she earned an Honors English degree. She later took a graduate program in psychology and earned a master’s degree in criminal psychology.
Zinta then began modelling and shot her first television commercial for Perks chocolates. This led to her meeting a director at a friend’s birthday party in 1996. She was persuaded to audition for a spot, for which she was selected. She subsequently appeared in several catalogues and advertisements, such as an ad for Liril soap.
Zinta has appeared in Hindi Bollywood films as well as Telugu, Punjabi and English language films. She made her acting debut in Dil Se in 1998 and a year later, she landed a role in Soldier. For her performance, she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. She was then recognized for her role as a single teenage mother in Kya Kehna. Her on-screen persona helped influence a change in the concept of the Hindi film heroine.
In 2003, Zinta received the Filmfare Award for Best Actress for her performance in the drama Kal Ho Naa Ho. Immediately after, she starred in two consecutive highest-grossing films in India. Her biggest commercial success came in 2003 with the science fiction film Koi… Mil Gaya and she was critically acclaimed in the star-crossed romance Veer-Zaara (2004).
Zinta also gave stellar performances as an independent, modern Indian woman in Salaam Namaste (2005) and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006). Both of these films are the highest-grossing films in overseas markets. Her first international film role was in the Canadian film Heaven or Earth, for which she received the Silver Hugo Award for Best Actress at the 2008 Chicago International Film Festival.
