Preity Zinta gets awarded as best bikini wear that pic capture

Bollywood actor Preity Zinta will be conferred with the Smita Patil Memorial Award 2008 for her "outstanding" contribution to the Hindi film industry.

"Priety's name has been announced for the award," said sources close to the actor. "The award will be presented sometime in September," the sources added.

The biennial award is given by an NGO Priyadarshini Academy engaged in socio-cultural and educational activities.

Priyadarshini Academy has been holding the biennial award function since its inception in 1984.

In the past, distinguished celebrities like Yash chopra, Karishma Kapoor, Urmila Matondkar, Aishwarya Rai, Madhuri Dixit have been bestowed with this ward. Kareena Kapoor was the recipient of the award in 2006.

Weight race between Kareena Kapoor and Preity Zinta

The immediate context is the shooting of the movie Mr. and Mrs. Khanna in which Kareena is paired opposite Salman Khan and also stars Priety Zinta in a cameo.

But what got Priety rankling was Kareena’s size zero figure. So Preity has started working out in a gym.

Directed by debutante Prem Soni, the film, which revolves around the theme of extramarital affair, is expected to release near the end of 2008. Sources inform us that SRK has also agreed to do a cameo for the film due to his friendship with Salman.

The race for size zero has certainly caught up in the industry with heroines vying among themselves to be stick thin.
