Preity Zinta

Bollywood actor and Kings XI Punjab co-owner Preity Zinta has rubbished the reports of having a verbal spat with former cricketer Virendra Sehwag after a leading daily claimed that the Bollywood actress has blamed the Kings XI Punjab mentor Virendra Sehwag for the team’s loss against Rajasthan Royals.

Preity Zinta took to Twitter to express her disappointment at the article published in the leading daily website. She wrote in the post, “Mumbai Mirror gets it wrong again because we didn’t do Media net & pay them to write articles cuz that’s the only time they get it right. A conversation between Viru & me has been blown out of proportion & suddenly I’m a Villian! Wow! #fakenews (link: https://twitter.com/timesofindia/status/994831018514370562) twitter.com/timesofindia/s…”

According to KXIP statement, “This is in response to the articles that have been doing the rounds in the last couple of days on the reported disagreement after Kings XI’s last game. The stories have led to a lot of speculation and we at Kings XI Punjab would like to clarify that all is well and the incident being referred to, is a figment of the imagination of some ‘interested parties’.”

According to reports, Preity Zinta was upset with the defeat of Punjab against Rajasthan Royals in Tuesday’s match. Zinta approached Sehwag after the game got over and had a conversation with the former cricketer regarding tactics as she was not happy with the tactics used by the players which led to an altercation. It was also reported that Sehwag would end his five-year-long association with the franchise.  Kings XI Punjab mentor has not yet commented on the issue because he does not want KXIP to lose their focus.

As per reports, Virendra Sehwag had told other KXIP owners to keep Zinta out of the cricketing aspects of the team which he looks into as the Bollywood actress has interfered in past too.

KXIP will be playing against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Holkar Stadium in Indore on Saturday.
