Preity Zinta
Preity Zinta has confessed that getting slapped in the face was the most humiliating experience of her life.
She was given a tight slap by her co-star while she was shooting for her film ‘Heaven On Earth'
"When we were shooting the film, there was a scene where my co-star had to slap me and, of course, it was a mistake as he took one step forward and actually went smack across my face. It was the most humiliating experience of my life because everyone saw me getting slapped," Preity told IANS.
However, Preity has admitted that this has given her a better understanding of her role in the film, and it even bagged her the prestigious Silver Hugo Award for best actress, in the Feature Film Competition section at the 44th Chicago International Film Festival.
"It changed my whole perception towards my role and I realised that it's so terrible to strip a woman of her spirit. It's better to die than to let your spirit die. This film took me to another zone; it just shattered me because I am someone who would immediately stand up for myself," she said.
