Who is this Preity woman?
There was a chorus of “Hey Preity, smile please," as flashbulbs popped and Preity Zinta sashayed down the red carpet at a recent awards show. The pretty woman struck a pose and was asked to give a few soundbytes. She whipped off her glares and instantly it was evident to all that this was not Bollywood's dimpled beauty. So, who's this lookalike? A desperate starlet?
Oksana Rasulova is a Russian dancer, choreographer and actress who admits that because of her remarkable resemblance to Preity, she's often stopped for autographs and photographs.
“Earlier, it was a compliment because Preity is beautiful but now it's getting tiring. It's just a coincidence that we have similar features and style which my fans like playing up on social media. But I don't copy her. We are two different people. I'm Oksana and I'm a star in Azerbaijan," she asserts.

So is she trying to speak Hindi in Mumbai? She informs that she has learnt Kathak and Bollywood dance for 15 years and in 2012 took a three-month acting course here. She then auditioned for a reality show, was selected, impressed Salman Khan, Preity's buddy, with her first performance and went on to win the show. Now, she's wait ing for the Bhatts to launch her in one of their films as part of the grand prize.
“I came to India to act. I want to be a Bollywood star, but not Preity Zinta. She's not even my favourite, it's Madhuri Dixit. I want to be known as Oksana Rasulova, not Preity Zinta 2." Now isn't that some eye-opener!
