At the beginning of the 2000s top heroines like Aishwarya Rai Rani Mukerji and Kareena Kapoor had already entered the industry. Aishwarya and Rani had already started making their presence felt and were on the list of top Bollywood stars. Then came a girl who directly gave tough competition to these top heroines. A heroine who was not only Shah Rukh Khans lead actress but was also working with Sunny Deol. She was neither afraid of the underworld nor of speaking out openly. So let us introduce you to this strong and outspoken actress who decided to leave the industry at the age of 32.
This dimpled girl is none other than Bollywood actress Preity Zinta. She always found herself in the biggest hits and most talked-about films. She gave tough competition to Aishwarya and Rani Mukerji. What was even more amazing was that she was the only star to stand up to the Mumbai underworld. Where Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan ran away in fear Preity Zinta faced it bravely.

Well who on earth would refuse a treasure worth Rs 600 crore but it was Preity Zinta who rejected such an expensive gift. In fact Kamal Amrohis son filmmaker Shandar Amrohi considered Preity Zinta as his daughter. He liked her a lot. It was the year 2011 when Amrohi announced that after his death he would leave his wealth of Rs. 600 crores to Preity Zinta. Everyone was surprised as to why he wanted to make such a big sacrifice for Preity and not for his own child.
During a conversation with Hindustan Times Amrohi shared an anecdote about this. He said I met Preity for the first time at the Marriott Hotel. She was with her then-lover Ness Wadia. I have considered her as my daughter and have also sent her many gifts. When I fought with my siblings she came to me and supported me.
According to the report of E-Times Preity Zinta had clearly said that she has no interest in Amrohis property worth Rs 600 crores. The actress had said I will not accept the property of Shaandaar Amrohi. The most interesting thing is that Preity Zinta had filed a case against Amrohis sons after his death. She had said that a loan of Rs 2 crores was given for Amrohis treatment. That should be returned.
In 2001 the film Chori Chori Chupke Chupke was made gangster Chota Shakeels money was allegedly invested in it. When this thing came to light many stars started getting threats. At that time stars like Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan backed out from giving testimony in the court but then 26-year-old Preity Zinta was not afraid and reached the court to give testimony. She said that she was getting calls for extortion of Rs 50 lakhs. Later she was awarded the Godfrey Phillips National Bravery Award.
