The people from Priyadarshini Academy have chosen the right person in Preity Zinta to be conferred upon the Smitha Patil Memorial Award.

Only some leading ladies of Bollywood enjoy the luxury of being constantly in the limelight and interesting offers pouring in at any given time even if they have not being part of a major hit for quite a long period of time.

These heroines achieve this as a result of pure talent and some terrific performances which gives them an immortal value in the industry irrespective of hits and flops.

We never think of them to fade away as newer and younger beauties come over to strike it big.

The cute and ravishingly beautiful Preity Zinta can be considered as one of these ladies who the audience always love to see on screen.

Priyadarshini Academy is a non governmental organization which works in the realm of educational and numerous social issues.

Preity Zinta has been selected for the award to be given in the month of September in recognition of her immense contribution to the growth of the Hindi film industry.

In these days when there are lots of debates regarding the increasing number of award functions every year and the several arguments on their credibility going on, Preity can be quite proud that although this award may not grab that much media space, it is given in the memory of one of the most talented and natural actors India has ever produced.
