Smiling beauty
She is one of my favourite actresses... a smiling beauty. She got a new look ! Read the story below...
Preity Zinta’s all-new look in Yashraj Films’ latest offering, Salaam Namaste, has become the talk of Bollywood. Her designer in charge, Manish Malhotra protégée Surily Goel, tells hitList how she did it…Says Surily, “The bottom line in styling Preity was that her character was supposed to be staying in Australia.
