Preity Zinta talks about her impressions of boyfriend Ness Wadias illustrious grandmother, Dina Wadia.
Jinnahs daughter Dina Wadia has been in Mumbai for a while now. Among the lucky few people who can get to meet her is actress Preity Zinta, Dina Wadia being her beau Ness Wadias grandmother.
Preity says that every time she Dina Wadia, she comes away floored. Says Preity, “The first time I met Dina Wadia I stared at her open-mouthed. My goodness! She carries so much history within her.
Since then weve met over dinner and other social occasions several times. Each time Im struck by her gentle demeanour, her classic elegance, and yes, her fragility.”
While speaking about one of her favourite women, Preitys voice lights up. She continues, “Shes so beautiful, so fragile. I was also struck by her unmistakable facial resemblance to her distinguished father (Jinnah).
They look like father and daughter all right! Ive never seen two people who resemble one another so closely.”
Preity says she has met Dina Wadia both in Mumbai and abroad. “She lives in New York. But she visits Mumbai where she has close family. She carries an aura of unmistakable strength.
Every time I meet her theres so much to imbibe from her. You know therere some people in this world who just carry an aura about them. Shes one of them.”
The last time when they met Dina Wadia wanted to know about Preitys IPL matches. “She has so much to tell. And I just want to sit and keep on listening to her.
She takes a lot of interest in my life. The last time we met she wanted to know all about the IPL matches.
I was surprised, why would someone of her stature want to know what Im doing? Shes so important to our times as a woman and a figure in history and yet conveys so much joie de vivre in her attitude.” www.Aaj.tv, 2008
