Amitabh Bachchan was present at the launch party of Ishq in Paris, which stars Preity Zinta.

He said, "I have always admired Preity for her drive and guts in a world that can be most cruel to a single girl. But just look at the way she has managed her career, all alone, without any traditional assistance from the Industry".

"She is frank and painfully honest and outspoken to the 'o', and that is an admirable quality, for a girl that had to face some rather tragic and unfortunate events very early in her life," Mr. Bachchan added.
