MEM of CHAK DE wins everyone's heart

Everyone who has watched CHAK DE INDIA can never forget the 'Mem' out of 16 players from the hockey team. Fair and India's centre-forward, it was hard to ignore Preeti Sabarwal. Well, this was her on screen name. In reality, Preeti is Sagarika Ghatge from Maharashtra. A national athlete from a boarding school who is very proficient in sports, she fell in love with hockey during the making of the film. In fact behind the scenes tales indicate that she even injured herself while braving a realistic jump during shooting of this Shimit Amin directed film which has garnered great reviews and fantabulous word of mouth all over. In reality, Sagarika is a die-hard SRK fan and swears by him. Also, she was selected by Yashraj Films even when she had no previous work experience and did not even have a portfolio. With immense appreciation coming her way for her 'Mem' act, she is now looking forward to a silver screen career today. Character sketch of Sagarika in CHAK DE INDIA: Preeti Sabarwal, captain of Chandigarh team, plays Center Forward. She wears Jersey Number 9 and looks like a Princess while plays like a Terminator. Beginning her education from the best public schools, her next logical step was to head for US. Instead she heads towards Punjab University and its hockey team. She maintains distance from rest of the world with only her iPod for company. No wonder all her rural team-mates name her 'mem'. She is also in love with the Vice Captain of Indian cricket team and their egos clash. But was it just ego or self respect?
