Harvard Business School: It’s Just Like Bollywood! Except Not Really.

There are a frightening number of desktop wallpapers with her picture online.

Preity Zinta, a Bollywood actress, is planning to take a short executive course at the Harvard Business School.  Now, not being a huge Bollywood fan, I naturally have no idea who she is, but Wikipedia tells me she was in Kal Ho Naa Ho, which turns out to sound familiar because my half-Indian roommate has the movie.  Be excited, roommate.

Says the actress:

“Yes, I’m going to the Harvard Business School to study a short executive course in negotiating and deal-making. 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.”

Personally, it occurs to me that maybe this isn’t the best time to be announcing that you studied at HBS, but more power to you, Preity Zinta.  After all, maybe all those jobless MBAs will appreciate you bringing some excessively bright and heavily choreographed dance numbers into their lives.
