It seems that Preity Zinta has taken to television big time. Not too long ago, it was reported that the Bollywood queen will make her television debut in Colors’ upcoming reality show. We’re now hearing that Preity will also try her hand at anchoring. Apparently, the word going around in tinsel town is that Preity will be taking over from Farhan Akhtar as the host of NDTV Imagine show Oye! It’s Friday.

According to a source, “Karan Johar was to take over from Farhan but the director is currently busy shooting for his film My Name is Khan. The channel and the production house have approached Preity and in all likelihood we will get to see her in the show.”

We called up another source that is closely attached with the show. This is what our source had to say, “Yes, Preity is one of the probable candidates. Apparently, Anupam Kher is another name that was doing the rounds. Though things are not yet finalised, it is likely to be Preity who will host the show.”

Preity’s manager Rohini claimed ignorance to this development. Meanwhile, Anupam Kher’s manager Bhaskar Shetty vehemently denied that the actor was ever made such an offer.

Speculation is also rife that the show’s future too is under clout but this was rubbished by our source. “No, there’s no way the show is going off air. The channel is happy with the way we’re going. The TRPs may not be that high but we aren’t doing that bad for a weekly show.”
