`Ishkq In Paris` has scenes from Preity, director`s life

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Preity Zinta says certain scenes in ‘Ishkq in Paris’ are inspired by her life. The film also has bits from director Prem Raj`s life.

‘Ishkq in Paris’, Preity`s first production venture, is releasing May 24. Talking about the film, she said: "(It) is not ispired from my life, but yes certain instances (are inspired from my life). I won`t lie about that." "Not only mine, in fact it (film) has some bits from our director`s life (Prem Raj) and from my PR (public relations) officer`s life. I mean we have not left anyone," Preity said here Friday while promoting the film. In the film, Preity plays a half-Indian, half-French girl who falls in love in Paris, one of the most expensive cities in the world. She said "we have added something or the other from everybody`s life because I think somewhere art imitates life". "Instead of taking from south Indian movies, English movies or European movies, we have been very true to ourselves," Preity added. There was a special reason why Paris was chosen as the city in focus. "Paris is a city known for two things - fashion and romance. So, to be fashionably in love, there is no other place to be in, but Paris," said Preity. IANS
