Preity Zinta is one of the most loved actresses of the Hindi film industry. In the early 2000s, Preity was among the top female actors in Bollywood and featured in several big films. But did you know she began her career with a coin toss? 

Preity Zinta was first offered the film 'Ta Ra Rum Pum Pum' by director Shekhar Kapur. However, she left the decision of whether or not to do the film to a coin toss. On Rendezvous With Simi Garewal, Preity said, “It sounds like the perfect story, but no. I think when I met Shekhar, when he wanted to sign me up for 'Ta Ra 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’.”
