Bollywood Actress Preity Zinta News

And here it is, the 300th post.....

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has revealed her family background.
She released a press statement that says.....
"Some people think I'm south Indian, while some feel I'm a Muslim. There have also been fans who have asked me whether I hail from Himachal Pradesh.
In the early 18th century, when marital alliances between the Rajput and British became quite common, the Zinta clan was born. I'm the rare combination of British and Rajput blood,"

So there you have it.

Another bit of news about Preity is that she will be taking over the hosting duties of Farhan Akhtar on ‘Oye! It’s Friday’.
Rumor has it that this is pretty much a done deal.

Preity also launched the three-day Gitanjali Luxury Style Fashion Festival this week.

Preity and her boyfriend Ness Wadia spent New Years in Canada, spending quality time with each other.

And as far as new Bollywood films for her, Aamir Khan and Preity are rumored to also be starring together in another upcoming film. They were together in Dil Chahta Hai and this new movie is another romantic tale.
She is already set for a cameo in Main Aur Mrs. Khanna and she wil be playing Runa in Har Pall with Shiney Ahuja, Isha Koppikar and Dharmendra.

Rani Mukherjee is Back in Shape

Well evidently it worked!
Aamir Khan's personal fitness trainer Satyajit Chaurasia must have gotten Bollywood actress Rani Mukherjee into shape.
According to an article at apunkachoice.com, The Bengali beauty is back and looking better than ever.

And oneindia is reporting that Rani is going to start writing scripts.
They are saying that Rani is taking up writing to give her career a new lease on life.
I don't know about that, she seems to still have a fairly large fan base and with this "new" appearance, she may already have that new lease.

And by the way, Aishwarya Rai had an offer to replace Rani as the spokes person for a popular mosquito repellent cream, but turned it down. Ash is very particular and will only endorse products she believes in.
So I guess that means the mosquito repellent doesn't work.

Rani Mukherjee and Her Personal Trainer

The actresses in Bollywood run into the same problems that the actresses in Hollywood run into.
Rani Mukherjee was feeling bad about herself and her appearance.
So what did she do?
She hired Aamir Khan's personal fitness trainer, Satyajit Chaurasia to help her get into shape.
And it seems to have worked.
Rani has two movies coming out in 2009, Anurag Singh's next movie (no title yet) and Koochie Koochie Hota Hain, so everyone will get to see the results of Satyajit's training regime.
Well not so much with Koochie Koochie Hota Hain because it's animated. But I'm sure she'll hit the PR circuit.
