Preity posted her first-ever shot on the set of Dil Se, expressing how filmmaker Mani Ratnam insisted on a natural look without makeup. She credited the Director of Photography for capturing the perfect moment. She wrote, "This picture was taken on the first day on the set of Dil Se. I was so excited to be working with Mani Ratnam sir & Shah Rukh Khan."


Talking about the moment the DOP saw her, she said, "When Mani sir saw me he smiled and politely asked me to wash my face…. But sir… my make up will come off, I said smiling …. That’s exactly what I want… Pls wash your face…. He smiled back. I thought he was joking …. Then I realised he was not !!! So thanks to the amazing Santosh Sivan ( our Director of Photography) I filmed with a freshly washed face and got away with it 🎥🤩🙏 I guess he shot me Dil Se"

In 1998, Preity made her debut in Dil Se and starred in Soldier alongside Bobby Deol. These performances earned her a Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Notably, her role as a teenage single mother in Kya Kehna (2000) received recognition. Preity is also remembered for her roles as Esha in Koi Mil Gaya with Hrithik Roshan and Naina in Kal Ho Naa Ho with Shah Rukh Khan. Despite her current hiatus from the big screen, her cinematic journey remains etched in the memories of fans.
