Indian actress Preity Zinta along with other women like Renuka Chowdhary and some NGO's raised their voice and had a convocation with T.Chidambaram, the finance minister. They had a discussion session for about 20 minutes during which they had a serious talk on the ways to solve problems for women. They insisted him to make the budget this year women-friendly along with some incentives for women in the industry.

Preity was interviewed by the IANS. She was questioned by the reporters as to why she had to raise the social issues to a politician. She said that though she belonged to an industry and srated her glamour role, her intension was to motivate public awareness. She openly stated that whether it is a role in films or real life situations she was re-inspired by many situations. She also said that it was a natural growth process for all the human beings.

Preity seems to be much involved with the social welfare programs and more concern about women welfare than anything in specific. According to Priety, women who are well known to the crowd must raise their voice for the upliftment of the majority of the women community who are silent in this community. This will provide more opportunities for the women. It is very difficult to ask for a single home loan for a women or widow when they do not have a secure collateral protection to offer them. Preity is strongly determined to bring that change and of course she is involved in personal sanitation and upliftment programs. She would also like to bring about free and compulsory education for women.

Preity's humble request for the public was that they must never look the girl child as a burden. Before becoming a glamour icon she performed a role as teenage single mother in "Kya kehna" which became a hit due to the fantastic performance of the actress.

The actress is extremely thankful for her father who gave her a full support for her career. She is now happy that she is earning more than any other boys and this inspired her to work for the public. She says that if she could do that, then why not other girls in the less privileged families.

She said that a girl child need not be considered a burden. It is a well known fact that when a husband dies, the women is left as a widow with her children and only loans in her hand. There would be no one to care her and marry a girl who is a widow and already the mother of a child and the creator. From the home makers to home less women this is the situation. She also asked to softer the interest rates for farmers which would make a lot of difference.

Preity had a serios discussion with the finance minister this monday on all this critical situations. Infact she was the only lady from the film industry who met the finance minister for a public cause. It was not easy to get an appointment with the minister but he gave them a patient ear and listened so gracefully that the meeting became so positive. Preity said that she had never met Mr. Chidambaram before and that he was highly professional and articulate.

Preity said that it was because of her lot of work with women and her concern for female infanticide. She openly confessed that it was time to give back the society what she got from it.
