Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are not at war
The mischief-mongers are at it. Trying to create a imaginary war between two glamorous divas who have stakes in two rival IPL teams, by pitching them against one another.
It all started after a televised debate where Shilpa made a comment on how she wouldn’t run to the field to hug players or chat with them in the backroom.
Preity’s friends feel the remark was directed at the actress.
On a debate on NDTV recently on the IPL matches when Preity spoke on how she had worked hard to get her makeoff and be on the field with the boys, Shilpa retorted that she would be in the IPL with her makeup on. Preity walked out.
Subsequent press statements too suggest that the vibes between the two actresses is far from cordial, thanks to their presence on different sides of the IPL fence.
Vested interests are trying to fuel the supposed war. Fortunately the two ladies are not biting the bait.
Shilpa completely denies making digs at Preity publicly or privately. “Yeah I’ve heard that I’m supposed to have made remarks about Preity. Why would I do that? I really admire the way Preity conducts herself. I’m so new to this whole IPL thing. Just trying to find my way in the whole thing running around getting the nitty-gritty right. The last thing I need is the electronic medium to have a field day pitching two glamorous actresses against one another. Please! Both Preity and I are grown up enough to see through these games.”
Preity admits she has heard that Shilpa has been making uncharitable remarks. “But I refuse to believe that Shilpa is talking against me. We’re mature ladies with more to do than talk against one another.”

Preity Zinta and Her 34 Children
Dimpled Bollywood cutie Preity Zinta celebrated her 34th birthday this past Saturday and she celebrated by adopting 34 kids! Preity adopted 34 orphaned girls from the Mother Miracle School in Hrishikesh. While she may not be taking the girls home to live with her, as their guardian she will take care of their finances for basic needs for things like food, clothing and education. Now that’s definitely something she should be very proud of! Preity says she plans to adopt more girls every year. Now that’s a cause we can get behind. What a great way to celebrate your birthday!
She also made her thoughts on her home city of Mumbai well known. It seems after watching ‘Slumdog Millionaire,’ Miss Zinta realized the state of the city and wants to clean up the slums that plague the city. We agree Preity, that’s a noble cause!
That’s not the only way she celebrated though! The vivacious actress also held a blowout birthday bash at her pad on Saturday night. No doubt her handsome boyfriend Ness Wadia was also on hand. But it seems things weren’t all hunky dory! It seems the partygoers were interrupted by an unwanted visit from the cops! Seems like her neighbors complained about the loud music in the wee hours of the night. Come on people, a girl only turns 34 once! Hmm… this scenario does sound awfully familiar though, as one of her close pals Hrithik Roshan just went through the same thing at his birthday bash in January! Guess the two are good friends for a reason – they both know how to party like rockstars, or shall we say, Bollywood stars! Well either way, the party was a well deserved break for the hard working gal who has a heart of gold!
So what are your thoughts on Preity’s big step to improve the lives of many? We think it’s cool, but you guys can get your thoughts in too.
