Preity Zinta shares an identical predicament with Arshad Warsi - and both have to play 'bad' actors in their latest films.
Doing Last Lear posed other problems for Preity.
'Suddenly Rituda asked me to stick on bindis that were almost as large as my face. Initially, I was most reluctant. But then I surrendered completely to his vision. I'm actually looking pretty in Last Lear,' Preity told IANS.
In its review, Variety wrote, 'It's an interesting paradox to watch a star like Preity deliver a good performance as a woman who's widely known as a bad thespian.'

That isn't the only problem Preity had to face; she had a real problem on the sets of Jahnu Baruah's Har Pal.
Har Pal has been one of Preity's toughest roles ever. But the role of the Punjabi NRI wife in Deepa Mehta's Heaven On Earth has been her toughest yet. She's still carrying the invisible wounds of the battered wife's character.
