In 2001, Zinta featured in the dramedy Dil Chahta Hai, which is cited in the media as a defining film of Hindi cinema.[8] Later that year, she portrayed a prostitute-turned-surrogate in the romantic drama Chori Chori Chupke Chupke.[9] Her only screen appearance of 2002 was in the box-office flop Dil Hai Tumhaara.[5][10] Zinta featured in four films in 2003.
