Preity Zinta reminisces her first film with a female director

Actress Preity Zinta recalls her days in the late 90s when she shot with a female director for the first time. The year was 1999 and Preity, then one of the busiest young heroines in Bollywood, shot with Tanuja Chandra for the film, Sangharsh. On Thursday, the actress shared a clip from the film.     

Remembering Sangharsh today. My first film with a female director where I fell in love with a criminal, caught a terrifying serial killer and broke a leg… literally. Thank you @akshaykumar @sonunigamofficial #shradhapandit #AshutoshRana #TanujaChandra and the entire cast and crew for this unforgettable experience. #ReetOberoi will always be very close to my heart. #Ting,” Preity captioned the video. The film had Preity playing a young CBI officer tracking down a religious fanatic who abducts children. Fort this, she seeks the help of a dangerous jailed criminal, played by Akshay Kumar. Last month, Preity completed 22 years in Bollywood.
