1
She's funny, clever, sexy, spunky.
2
She's also gorgeous.
3
You might call that the ideal package.
4
An actress who seems utterly made for her times.
5
And when you meet her, it's impossible not to like the delightful Preeti Zindha.
6
Hi Preeti.
7
Hi Simi.
8
I'm so happy to be here tonight.
9
I am so happy to have you here.
10
I must tell you one thing before we start off anything, is that there is this one movie of yours.
11
I know it's a very old movie, Kars.
12
I love it.
13
I have grown up imitating you saying, Monty darling.
14
And I said, if I ever do a show, if I ever do this show, this is the first thing I'm going to tell you.
15
So I'm glad.
16
Okay, pretty darling.
17
Shall we go on?
18
You know, your career is on such a roll.
19
You've got the best films, the best heroes, awards.
20
I think I've been extremely lucky.
21
Things have gone really nice for me.
22
And to think it all happened because of the toss of a coin.
23
Yes, how do you know that?
24
I mean, is it a true story?
25
Is it just a great story?
26
No, it's not.
27
It sounds like the perfect story, but no. I think when I met Shekhar, when he wanted to sign me up for Tadarampampam,
28
and I was just like this little kid looking at Shekhar Kapoor, and I just wanted to be cool.
29
So I said, okay, if it's destiny, then I'll just flip this coin.
30
I said, heads, I will take film as the career tales I want.
31
But if it had come tales, what would you have done?
32
Truly?
33
I wouldn't have signed that film.
34
Don't be silly.
35
I promise you.
36
You took it so lightly.
37
Just for style, anything for style at that point, yeah point yeah.
38
Really there was no yearning to be an actor?
39
No. You mean it can happen without that burning passion?
40
I think the burning passion came when I started getting screamed at on sets.
41
I remember my first film Kya Kehna where Sarojji you know she was just like
42
kaha se leai ho is ladki ko and she doesn't know how to dance, she doesn't know how to lip sync, what is she doing here?
43
What is this creature you put in front of me and I I felt extremely silly and stupid lip-syncing, you know, I'd start giggling it.
44
Then I felt that, oh, you know, it can't be like this.
45
I'm a human being, you can't talk to me like this.
46
And I must work at it, and I try to push myself.
47
You come from an army family.
48
Yes.
49
So do I.
50
Really?
51
Yes.
52
Oh, great.
53
Yes.
54
Don't you find it's a completely different way of life?
55
Yes, I do.
56
In what way?
57
The first way is that it's only in the army men get up when women enter the room.
58
Discipline?
59
Yes, discipline.
60
No elbows on the table, no talking when you're eating, and stay out when elders are there.
61
But I was always a bit of a rebel, so, you know, I broke every rule.
62
And I was very naughty, very, very naughty.
63
I can believe that.
64
I've heard so many stories about you.
65
You can.
66
And your pranks, and your musty, and your mischief.
67
I think I embarrassed my mother a lot.
68
And now that I'm grown up and I see my friends with children, I'm like, oh, my God, I hope I don't have kids like me.
69
Because the stories my mother tells me, I can't believe I was like that.
70
Just tell me one of them.
71
Well, they're each worse than the other.
72
So I'll tell you the least.
73
Shocking.
74
Yeah, the least shocking.
75
Well, you know, in the army, as you know, if children below 18 are not allowed for army parties.
76
And it intrigued me to know what is happening behind those doors.
77
So I asked my mom once that even I want to come for this party
78
and they said no children below 18 are not allowed
79
and I must have been 12 So I went to my mom's cupboard.
80
I took out her bra.
81
I stuffed it up with oranges Oranges?
82
Yes, and I went outside to the club and stood like that and I said I'm 18.
83
Can I go in?
84
So then everybody, you know, this guy just kept looking at me and he got absolutely shocked No, he couldn't see them.
85
It was under the shirt So he just looked at me like that and said, my dad was a major that time,
86
called for Major Zinta, and my mum got so upset with me.
87
My God, I remember that.
88
She got really upset with me.
89
So I think I was a bit crazy.
90
What fun.
91
But you still do them, don't you?
92
No, I think with film, I really sober down, you know, in the sense that, yes, I'll always be me.
93
But there's so much pressure to be the film star you have to be and I hate that pressure.
94
There are times when I just want to be like this and there are times when, you know, I don't want to look good.
95
But there's so much pressure.
96
Sometimes you're walking on the street and somebody goes, Eee, that's Preeti Zinter.
97
She's so small.
98
Or, oh, some people will say, Are you so many people, but how many people look like this?
99
You know, just the strangest things.
100
And there is so much pressure to perform when you're on set because, you know, there's so much money involved with filmmaking.
101
But there's more pressure outside set, you know, that whole image of yours you have to like keep.
102
So you've had to sort of edit your personality a bit. For sure.
103
It's a pity.
104
Your father was a colonel in the army.
105
Yes.
106
You lost him when you were 13, Priti?
107
13. Priti, didn't you have a dream, apparently, about an accident before it happened?
108
No. No dream as such.
109
But I remember telling my friend once, that was really strange.
110
I mean, you know, I don't know if I should tell you about it.
111
It was really strange.
112
It was just a feeling that something is going to happen, you know.
113
I used to read the news every day in school.
114
You know, every week, one class would say the news or the prayers.
115
So one day I told my best friend, Chagun, that, you know, I don't know why I feel that I'm going to read this news about my dad.
116
And she told me, I think you've gone mad.
117
And I was like, yeah, it's really strange.
118
Yeah, that was very strange.
119
I mean, it's weird.
120
But I think maybe sometimes you say the strangest things.
121
And sometimes when it comes true, it really shocks you, you know.
122
How did he die?
123
It was a car accident.
124
Car accident?
125
Yeah.
126
The steering wheel got locked and it just happened.
127
My mother was in it also.
128
But luckily, thank God, she made it and he didn't.
129
She injured every bone in her body, including her spine.
130
And there was a time when she was just on that bed for a whole year.
131
Ah, there were terrible times, my God.
132
But that's when you also took it upon yourself to look after the family, your brothers and your mother.
133
Well, I was a nut, you know, as a kid.
134
I think I just grew up.
135
That one week changed my whole life.
136
I think girls are definitely much more mature than the boys because my brothers were shattered and I was shattered.
137
Because nobody told us when it happened.
138
They were worried that...
139
What do you mean nobody told you when it happened?
140
Well, I was in Simla.
141
They were coming up to Simla to meet me.
142
And when the accident happened, in the afternoon, my mum got to the hospital.
143
They didn't tell us.
144
It all happened so fast.
145
Nobody said anything.
146
They just said there was an accident.
147
They told that to you in school?
148
Yes.
149
Early morning, this one nun woke me up and said, darling, you have to go.
150
And I got really surprised.
151
I was like, why is she being so nice to me?
152
Because most of the nuns were not very nice to me because I was very naughty.
153
And then she just said there's been a little accident and she just got me out and took me to a hospital.
154
And there they told me that your father has been injured and he will be here later but your mum's here.
155
And I saw my mum being wheeled in and she was unconscious but she could hear everything we were saying.
156
Then early morning when I went back, the nuns were in mass and school had started so I had to go in the parlour and wait.
157
and I read it in the newspaper.
158
So it was really weird.
159
And then when I came back, my grandfather told me.
160
But you must have been in a critical shock yourself.
161
Well, I didn't react till I think six months.
162
I didn't cry.
163
I had no reaction.
164
And they tried to keep talking to me, but I just, you know, I never saw my dad's body.
165
I never saw him.
166
And because I never saw him, it never registered to me that it had happened.
167
And I kept thinking, okay, you know.
168
It's only after six months, one day in my sleep, I just started crying.
169
And it just came out.
170
And that was it.
171
You said that your dad's death taught you more than you'd probably have learned had he been alive. For sure.
172
Because every memory, everything he said, I just clung on to it, you know.
173
He always told me that I don't want you to be brought up like a girl, you know.
174
You're an equal to my two sons.
175
He never gave an opportunity to them and not to me.
176
If my brothers picked up their bags, I had to pick up my bag.
177
If I was taught how to cook something, my brothers were taught how to cook the same thing.
178
You know your friends say that you're so jovial, you always laugh a lot, and you never show them how tough it has been for you.
179
Is that the army upbringing again?
180
I think it's not a very good thing not to show your emotion.
181
I show it now.
182
If I have to cry, I cry.
183
There are certain releases in your body.
184
It's very important for you to reduce your stress levels that you need to cry.
185
It's very, very important.
186
You've majored in criminal psychology?
187
Yes, I did a program in criminal psychology.
188
I majored in English honors.
189
That means the mind and human behavior must fascinate you.
190
Yes, for sure.
191
I studied male sexuality, alcohol abuse, drug abuse, a lot of things in it.
192
But yes, what really fascinated me was why do people think like this?
193
And if they do, why do they behave like this?
194
Fascinating.
195
Yes, extremely fascinating.
196
How useful has it been in everyday life?
197
I think it's made me a more, what should I say,
198
more forgiving person forgiving is too big a word actually I think it's more tolerant yeah more tolerant more relaxed
199
when I see something really crazy I say oh me there may be some problem
200
but then that's also a thing like this is very easily used by people
201
when they do wrong things that oh you know I had a bad childhood
202
when I see people misbehaving
203
and then people say oh forget it you know this one
204
had a bad childhood then I say I'll you know I had some problems too when I was young
205
I learned from them.
206
Are you good at reading people?
207
Yeah, I think so.
208
I have a very strong gut.
209
I know instinctively when someone's lying to me.
210
I let my body listen sometimes, you know.
211
I don't reason.
212
I'm not a very rational person.
213
I'm practical.
214
Sometimes somebody may say something really nice to me, but I don't feel too good about it.
215
Then I just think the person's not nice.
216
Tell me, Preeti, you are known to be very extroverted, laughing, joking all the time.
217
If there is nobody else around you, what sort of a person would you be?
218
I'd die.
219
I'm a people's person.
220
I'd die alone.
221
I hate to be alone.
222
I can go travel all over the world alone.
223
I can do everything alone.
224
But if I had no one around me, I'd die.
225
I'd just die.
226
Just in ten seconds.
227
When you admitted that you had received threats from the underworld, the cops called you the only man in Bollywood,
228
I want to know, did you ever consider the other option?
229
I'm very, that way is very clear with the law.
230
I think that comes from the fact that I'm from an army background, you know, I'm very clean about it.
231
But yes, when I stood in that court and I was standing there, my heart started beating really wild, you know, and I felt,
232
oh my God, I'm in a courtroom and it's not shooting, real and the only thing that bothered me was
233
that everybody was like she's the only man in Bollywood
234
which was a lot of bull you know I think it
235
was their way of showing their badge of what you've done
236
I think it is also a way of showing how how
237
double-faced our society is how sexist men are you know for
238
men to applaud a woman they need to call her a man I accept
239
that why can't they just say what a great thing this girl did and you were not fearful I don't care
240
honestly I don't care I believe there is a destiny we
241
all have I believe the day I have to go I
242
will go irrespective of what I do I mean you know my father was in a car
243
that the steering wheel locked steering wheels never lock in a car it was meant to be
244
that taught me that you know you live your life the way you want to live
245
and you live it with your head held high you know there is
246
if tomorrow somebody has to kill me they will kill me you know but pretty did it ever make you feel vulnerable?
247
Yes at some level I felt a bit helpless with the system
248
and I think that's the first time I felt what kind of a country am I living in.
249
You know what if I was this simple girl in a small town
250
and this was not this case but a rape case about some rich man's son.
251
They would have killed me.
252
So it made, I got very, I felt really bad.
253
I felt very let down with the system.
254
Yes for then I felt very vulnerable
255
that oh you know it's not a very wise decision to actually stand up
256
and say because you know you there's no value for it
257
and there should be value for it like I saw a big poster once
258
and it was a very funny one it had this huge poster on
259
that it was written Mera Bharat Mahan and in small letters down was written banana Preeti,
260
you had announced to your friends that you would never get involved with an actor and nobody believed you.
261
Never been attracted to your co-stars?
262
No. What do you mean no?
263
I promise you.
264
I mean, I love all my co-stars.
265
They're my friends.
266
I respect the fact that half of them are married.
267
And I do believe, I believe in Karam.
268
If I do something and I put out some energy in this world, it's going to come back to me.
269
I don't want to be that girl who some woman is sitting and cursing because she has ruined her marital bliss.
270
So I've always stayed away from guys who are married.
271
And number two, I've never got attracted to my co-stars because most of the time they're like, is my hair looking fine?
272
Is my shirt looking all right?
273
Is this fine?
274
Is that fine?
275
And I'm like, can you see this? and sometimes I'm like, can you see the big pimple on my nose?
276
So our relationship is more two people in the same boat, you know.
277
So is it only because you believe in karma or is it
278
because you believe in fidelity or is it that you want to just protect yourself?
279
All of it.
280
I believe in fidelity.
281
I don't want to be the third person.
282
I have too big an ego to be number three, number two in anybody's life.
283
Sure.
284
And I don't believe in breaking homes, especially where kids are involved those kids end up growing complex.
285
And, you know, I always look at a situation sometimes, even if I am attracted to somebody, I look at it.
286
What are my options?
287
Will I be so in love with this person that I want to marry this person?
288
No. Is it a one-night stand?
289
No. Most probably, I'll get involved with this person.
290
It'll be great for a week, 10 days, a month, two months.
291
And then we will hate each other.
292
We want to kill each other.
293
So why go down that lane, you know?
294
And each and every co-star of mine, be it from Bobby to Akshay to Ajay, I love them all.
295
We share the most awesome relationship.
296
We talk rubbish together.
297
I tell them, that guy's so cute, and they tell me this girl is so...
298
We have the cutest relationship.
299
None of them have ever tried to make a move on me.
300
None of these guys, but you mean none of them ever, no stars, have ever tried to flirt with you?
301
No, I think they know.
302
You always...
303
It's an energy.
304
It's a vibe.
305
I know instantly when a guy is attracted to me.
306
I know, even if he's in that corner of the room.
307
It's just a vibe.
308
It's just the way the person looks at you.
309
I've never tried to pout and pose and be, hey, baby.
310
Plus, I'm not conscious of men.
311
if I'm sitting like this in a room
312
and the best looking guy comes I'll still be sitting like this I know a lot of girls sometimes
313
and not being derogatory to them
314
but some friends of mine also you know they're like yeah
315
and then what happened and suddenly this guy comes
316
and what I was saying was and I look at them
317
and go hmm so you know it's like they suddenly get all proper
318
but I find a lot of wives whether you do something
319
or not they just are so insecure I think Women are very instinctive.
320
I know when somebody is flirting with my boyfriend.
321
I know.
322
I know when a girl likes him.
323
The way she looks at him.
324
It's just, you just know.
325
Would you do anything about it?
326
I don't.
327
I'm very secure.
328
I don't.
329
Would you mention it to him? Of course.
330
You would.
331
I'd drag him about it and go, yeah, yeah, yeah, and all that, but otherwise, no. It's nice.
332
I feel proud if I'm with somebody and women want that person.
333
It makes me feel good that, you know, rather than everybody going, yuck, who is she hanging with, you know?
334
So it's nice.
335
It's a nice feeling.
336
When these rumors of you and Aamir and Sanjay came around, God, you must have been absolutely aghast, opposed.
337
I was really shocked, actually, and very pissed off because I love Sanju.
338
I love him.
339
I have loved him since I was a kid.
340
And he is like Papa Bear to me.
341
He doesn't even call me Preeti, he calls me Yaaku.
342
He's like, Yaaku, what's up, man?
343
He's always treated me like I'm his kid sister.
344
He's always put his arm around me and said, are you fine?
345
Is everything fine?
346
So for me to be linked with him was disgusting.
347
Gross.
348
Aamir is a very dear friend.
349
We had a great working relationship in Dilchaatai.
350
And when things were not happening properly in his personal life, I was the nearest candidate because the last film he did was with me.
351
So suddenly I became Mrs. Amir Khan.
352
And I had to go around saying, not married.
353
But it's really funny because, I mean, these were the guys you were not even involved with.
354
The one you really are involved with for the last two years, not a cha-cha about.
355
It's not that I hide it from the media.
356
We go to parties together.
357
We go out anywhere we have to.
358
We go to have coffee in barista maybe, you know.
359
We go to eat a pizza.
360
We go to watch movies.
361
We are together everywhere and I just don't talk about him because what do I say?
362
And how I feel and how lovely it is.
363
I don't need to say those things.
364
Those are things that I cherish.
365
But what does your boyfriend feel about your career?
366
It's just a job for me.
367
Does he ever feel it comes in the way of your time with him?
368
Sometimes, but I think now we've been seeing each other for two years, two and a half years now.
369
So So he's used to it.
370
Our time is our time.
371
Nothing comes in.
372
But yes, sometimes I get pushed around a bit.
373
But I have that one month where my entire, yes, one month, and two weeks in summer.
374
That's not much.
375
It's a lot.
376
It's like if you go diving, you come out, that five seconds of air is enough to take you down the whole time.
377
But is it enough to keep a relationship going?
378
Yes.
379
I'm glad to hear that.
380
I mean, till now, touch wood.
381
Touch wood.
382
You said that you don't want to be here forever.
383
Yes.
384
And you want to get married, have kids, leave showbiz.
385
I don't think I could handle it after some time.
386
It's too much pressure.
387
I just want to live.
388
I want to fly.
389
I want to run.
390
I want to, you know, just do what I want.
391
Because I don't want my life to go by me.
392
And one fine day I just said, it's over. But, but.
393
Where did it go?
394
Exactly.
395
I want to enjoy it.
396
I live every moment to the fullest.
397
I'm here right now.
398
I'm having the most awesome time on this interview, you know.
399
And those guests are nice that don't stay too long.
400
You know, so I think...
401
So when you think of quitting, will it be with a toss of a coin again?
402
No, it's when I want to have children.
403
And that won't be very far away.
404
Well, my third eye sees you.
405
You know I have a third eye.
406
My third eye sees you very happily married.
407
Three kids.
408
Three?
409

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
