Preity Zinta ditching films for Harvard

Preity Zinta is to take a break from Bollywood to attend Harvard Business School, say reports.

The actress revealed that she is moving to the US in order to study a short course at the world-famous university.

"I'm going to the Harvard Business School to study a short executive course in negotiating and deal-making," Zinta told Indian Express.

"I thought that since I spend so much time in the US, I might as well use the experience better. I applied to Harvard and got accepted, so I’m quite kicked about going there next month."

However, the star claimed that she has no intention of quitting Bollywood altogether and plans to return to movies after she has completed her course.

"I want to make sure that I can balance acting and business. In fact, I'm currently buried under a pile of scripts and am reading each one to make sure that I don't miss out on anything good. I want to do a role that I've never done before," she added.
