My Bollywood career began with coin toss, reveals Preity Zinta

MUMBAI (Dunya News) – Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has revealed that she decided to enter the showbiz industry by tossing a coin. In an interview, the actress said, “It sounds like the perfect story, but no. I think when I met Shekhar, when he wanted to sign me up for Tara Rum Pum Pum, I was just like this little kid looking at Shekhar Kapur. And I just wanted to be cool, so I said, ‘Okay, if it’s destiny then I’ll just flip this coin. I said, ‘Heads, I will take film as a career and tails, I won’t’.” Over asking what she would have done if she got tails, Preity said, “I wouldn’t have signed that film. I promise you.” Movie Ta Ra Rum Pum Pum was shelved after which Preity made her Bollywood debut with Dil Se. In an old interview, the actress said, “It was ‘destiny’ that I was not a part of Tara Rum Pum Pum.” Responding to a question about her feelings over not being approached for the film, she said, “For once I was quiet. The only thing that came out from my mouth was, ‘Oh’. Years ago, I went around telling everyone that I’m doing a film titled Tara Rum Pum Pum. Now I can’t.”
