The 42-year-old actress praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying his intent is to make difference to the lives of ordinary citizens.

She also praised the initiatives like Swachh Bharat and Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaigns.

"I also like the Beti Bachao-Beti Padhao campaign. As a woman, safety and education, these things are important. I am an army kid and it's nice to see him (PM) talking about patriotism and our soldiers. I am happy," she said.

Asked about her upcoming Bollywood projects, Zinta said, "My next film will release soon. I might be signing a new film also".

Zinta is also working on a women's safety project.

"I have the biggest project of my life, which is a big project on women's safety, I have been working on it for five years and finally it's going to come out this year, so I have my hands full," she added.
