Rs.600 crore. An adopted daughter. 34 orphan girls. An adopting mother. Common thread: Preity Zinta.Even as the media raked up the muck on the Zinta and Ness Wadia romantic fissure, there was fresh meat for the scribe tribe to chew on.

Shandar Amrohi, scion of the legendary filmmaker Kamaal Amrohi, is locked in a fierce legal battle with his sister Rukhsar and her son Waseem, insinuating that the duo had fraudulently pledged his shares in Mahal Pictures Pvt. Ltd (that owns the renowned Kamaal Amrohi studio) to a company in Pune. The lure in question: business and property valued at over Rs 600 crore!

Able support for Shandar has been forthcoming from his sibling Tazdar Amrohi… and an unlikely, starry supporter: Preity Zinta!

Reportedly, Shandar regards Preity as his “adopted daughter” and is considering bequeathing all his share of the property to her.

Citing the example of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Bollywood actress Preity Zinta Wednesday pledged to work for the welfare of widows and said they could achieve a lot if given an opportunity.

Preity, 34, became the brand ambassador of Loomba Trust that supports widows and their children around the world.

“Sonia Gandhi is a perfect example. If a woman is not stolen off her opportunities, even if she is a widow, she can do great things and achieve a lot. This is more than enough reason to say that a woman can stand shoulder to shoulder with any man anywhere in the world,” Preity said at a press conference here.

“I have always held women’s causes in India very close to my heart. I have always felt that women get a raw deal. This cause was a little more close to my heart because I lost my father when I was very young,” said Preity, who lost her father at the age of 13.

Preity Zinta has a drema. The lovely lady who’s just 5 feet 5 inches wants to form an international basketball team called Dream Girls! Players for the squad are going to be world famous women who are film stars, supermodels, socialites, and you do not get anything for guessing the captain’s name right.

Preity came up with this idea to make money for her charity.

“Nobody knows I’ve been a gymnast for 11 years, I did karate for nine years, I am very good at basketball and I rifle shoot too,” she says flaunting her sporting background and adds, “We’ll be playing with professional basketball teams around the world. American experts from NBA will train us.”

She is also proud of her decision to buy an IPL team, “People said that it was a crazy idea to give one-and-a half years to IPL, but then today, financially, I don’t have to care for the rest of my life,” Zinta is quoted as saying.

Preity Zinta is back in Mumbai. People in the film industry had begun to wonder whether she had migrated from India. Preity laughs, “I haven’t migrated to the US or any other country. I’m not going anywhere. Mumbai is my home and I am working here. I took a much-needed break after the IPL.”

But while Preity was away, her home in Mumbai was ransacked and robbed, allegedly by her domestic help. She says, “Mere ghar main ho gayi solid chori. They took money and some jewellery. My mother came to Mumbai, spotted the theft and reported it immediately. It was her money that they took.”

After a six-week, well spent vacation with brother and friends, Preity is back. She has always been travelling extensively, “I’ve always been a gypsy. Whether for my outdoor shoots or holidays, I’m frequently out of the country. On my way back, I stopped over in London.”

Now she’s back to listening to scripts. “I’m listening to some really interesting projects. Hopefully, I’ll be signing a couple of films shortly. That would shut those up who want to write me off.”

It might be a while since Preity gave a bumper performance and a longer since she has looked fresh like earlier – but this is no reason why she would give in to copying her ‘better’ contemporaries. In a latest development, Preity Zinta was caught looking very much like Aishwarya Rai in the ‘Kajra Re’ number, and making a similar gang of guys sway to her verve. She is actually doing a special song for dear friend Salman Khan’s home production ‘Main Aur Mrs Khanna’.

Both Priety Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are the owners of IPL team. They are strong competitors and Preity accepted this very fact on the 10th anniversary celebration of FICCI. When Preity was asked about her competitor Shilpa, she said, “She is not going to play cricket.”

The actress then said, “I own a team, I am an investor in the team, I am the chairperson of the team. It is very difficult for them to digest that I am the boss.”

Preity might have forgotten that Shilpa Shetty is also the boss as she is the owner of the Rajasthan Royals. While Shilpa was literally correct saying, “Our teams are in competition.”

Shiney Ahuja has a support in the form of one actress who is feeling compassionate about the whole episode. Apparently, Preity Zinta thinks that Shiney Ahuja is one of those few unfortunate actors who is getting slammed down by media even before anything is confirmed.

The actress who is back in Mumbai post holidaying in Europe and the US to recuperate from her break-up with Ness Wadia said in an interview that she has enormous faith in the judiciary and that they will do justice with the actor.

Rumour has it that the actress had faced serious problems with Shiney Ahuja during the shooting of Har Pall; however, the actress has set aside all her differences at the time of crises in the actor’s life. The actress even expressed her anger on media for blowing the issue by saying that one must consider that Shiney has a family too and all this would only aggravate their sorrow and pain.

It took a one month long fun-packed globe trotting vacation for Preity Zinta to mend her broken heart and the gusty dame, who is back home now, is being her spunky, vivacious self again. The dimpled beauty, who made headlines for her unceremonious split with industrialist Ness Wadia, has now decided to make news for worthy professional reasons.

The smile is back and so is the bold attitude – Preity Zinta is all set to conquer filmdom once again. The actress, who has been the target of much media speculation, is out to clear the air and set matters straight.

Just back from a holiday with family and friends in Europe and US, Preity told a news daily, “How nice to know that I was missed. I feel good when people ask where I have been. No, I hadn’t gone for good. I basically follow my heart. If I want to do something, I go for it, no matter what the repercussions. I had been travelling to America, London and Europe for a little less than a month.”

The difference was easily noticed but Preity and Ness never made open declaration about their break-up. Off late, Preity confirmed break-up with Ness, the head honcho of Bombay Dyeing.

Ever since Preity drifted apart from Ness, her name has been linked up with the cricketers of her own team like, Yuvraj Singh and Brett Lee. To those rumors, Preity said that the mantra of her life is not to date any married man or film stars and now she has added cricketers to her lists.

Preity confirms that she is dating no one at the moment and through break-up, both she and Ness are committed to their team. She has stretch a thick line of demarcation between her professional and personal life.

Preity Zinta’s plans for a grand TV debut have been thwarted by none other than Aishwarya Rai. The Zinta babe is no longer part of TV show ‘India’s Got Talent’, which is the Indian adaptation of popular show ‘America’s Got Talent’.

Preity was earlier in negotiations with the makers of the show, which like its original version, will be a talent hunt show where all the contestants will be showing off their respective skills – be it dancing, singing, stand-up comedy etc.

According to sources, Preity was supposed to do the show and both the parties had, in fact, zeroed in on the money too. She was apparently getting an amount almost close to Rs 5 crore, but it was the delay of Indian Premiere League, which is apparently Preity’s first priority, that failed the talks.

Director Deepa Mehta has decided to release her film ‘Videsh’ with an “A” Certificate.

The censor board had objected to certain scenes in the film based on the topic of domestic violence.

The officials of the censor board had felt that some scenes which showed the protagonist played by Bollywood Actress Preity Zinta being battered are too violent and brutal.

They suggested to Deepa that these scenes be deleted.

Instead the director chose not to dilute the intended impact of the film and go for the “Adult” certificate.

She also had complete support from B.R.Films, the production company which produced ‘Videsh’ to go ahead with her decision.
