Has Preity Zinta lost her touch

Preity Zinta's career badly needs some uplift tratment just like her eyes. Aftre a string os successes in previous year the the pretty lass has had three successive failures in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Janeman and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom - for which she got a lot of flak. She is seriously going through a very lean patch and also began to look a bit jaded.

Preity must have been disappointed by the third successive failure from the Yash Raj Films banner once reputed to have the midas touch, because she doesn't have too many films lined up.

She will be next seen in Rituparno Ghosh's English language film The Last Lear that co-stars Amitabh Bachchan. The film, which is currently in post production, is experimental in nature and has little chance of setting cash registers ringing. At best it could reinforce Preity's image as a good actor.

Preity is currently filming Mera Bharat Mahaan which has lately been in the news because of problems on its sets in Roopnagar, Punjab.

Preity recalls 'Jhoom Barabar' experience

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, whose recent performance in the multistarrer Jhoom Barabar Jhoom has received mixed reviews, says she, Abhishek Bachchan and Bolly Deol were exhausted doing the numerous dance sequences for the film which was shot in England.

'Abhishek, Bobby and I are all Aquarians. We were so exhausted because we were constantly dancing,' she said. 'There's a lot of dancing in Jhoom... Also, the lines were so funny. We had to work hard on getting it right. It's been a long time since I had so many funny lines to mouth.'

Preity also recalled the tough schedules they had while shooting for the film.

'We were located at the same place in London for such along time. We were there for three months at a stretch, and I was there right through,' she said.

'Fortunately Shaad works very quickly. But it was hectic and tough. I remember we shot Kiss of Love in the freezing cold. During one of the lavish sequences Shaad turned around to say, 'This is the most expensive film I've shot. Saathiya and Bunty Aur Babli were lavish. But not like Jhoom Barabar Jhoom.
'You know Shaad has the typical boarding-school enthusiasm. Everything is the best, biggest.'
