Preity Zinta’s Bengali connection

Preity Zinta, the North India is now veering towards everything Bengali. She finds herself in love with everything related to Bengal. Sweets, exotic saris, melodies and everything which the City of Joy has on offer.

This Bengali influence is ever since she has started working with Rituparno Ghosh, for The Last Lear. In fact, this movie has Preity in a totally traditional look with cotton saris, big bindi. A look she has never sported yet in her Bollywood roles.

She never misses any opportunity to visit Kolkata. She was recently invited to be part of the Durga pooja celebrations and she happily obliged.

She enjoys having puchkas (the Bong version of paani puris or golgappas) in the little clay pots, standing at the roadside stalls, in true Bengali style.

Looks like the other Bong queens of Bollywood, Bipasha Basu and Rani Mukherji will soon have Preity joining the Bong Gang of Beauties !
