 Hollywood does it all the time. But it's rare to see Bollywood stars taking time off to hone their acting skills. That's exactly what Preity Zinta did for her role in Samir Karnik's Heroes, the actress attended Anupam Kher's acting school. Anupam, who played Preity's father in her first film Kya Kehna, confirmed the presence of his star pupil: "When she showed an interest in coming to my school, I was impressed, and I'd recommend a refreshers' course in acting to a lot of our stars." Preity sees growth as an essential part of her journey as an actress. "I need to now step into another phase in my career. That's why I'm doing a series of films that require me to discard my glamorous image. My role in Heroes needed me to speak in a special language that I'm not familiar with. I also needed to change my body language and my entire approach to acting. That's why I went to Anupam. We're both from Simla and we both have a hunger to excel. I attended his school and, it did me a world of good." Preity will now assume a different physical look for every role. "You'll see me looking totally different in all my films, whether it's Har Pal or Last Lear," she revealed. Incidentally, Preity looks like Rekha in the latter film and people can't wait to ser her in this new avatar.
