Bollywood actress Preity Zinta will be answering questions from Oxford students on her experience of being a part of the world’s largest film industry, and also being an iconic figure in a male-dominated business, a report says.
With this, Preity has joined the likes of former Prime Minister Winston Churchill, current Prime Minister David Cameron, US Presidents Reagan and Nixon, the Dalai Lama, Stephen Hawking and Mother Teresa to have addressed the Union.
From the entertainment world, Michael Jackson, Natalie Portman, Pierce Brosnan, Clint Eastwood and Martin Sheen have attended the Union.
“I am very excited to be welcoming Preity Zinta to speak here at the Oxford Union Society this coming October. She is quite simply a global superstar. Throughout nearly 200 years of history, the Oxford Union has heard from high profile figures who are the leading lights in their field, and Preity’s film roles, and her deep commitment to causes beyond cinema, such as cricket, journalism and philanthropy have captured the imagination of the watching world,” said Ash Sangha, Vice President of the Oxford Union.
