Gutsy Preity Zinta speaks out to defend Shiney Ahuja

While the rest of B-town top-notch dames and hunks have maintained a stoic silence on Shiney Ahuja, who has been in news for allegedly raping his 18-yr-old housemaid, Preity Zinta has come out defending the actor. Keeping up with her gutsy attitude and outspoken ways, the actress has lashed out at gossipmongers making merry over Ahuja’s infamous incident.

Even though the actress is believed to be at loggerheads with Ahuja over professional reasons, she has still come out in his full support. Speaking to a news daily, the dimpled beauty said, "It`s very easy to slam someone when they are down. I think whatever`s happened is really unfortunate. I do have enormous faith in the judiciary and I`m sure they will do justice. The person also has parents and a family. One must think about what`s going on in their hearts and minds.”

As for her reports that she is down and out after her much publicised break-up with the Wadia scion, the actress has snubbed them all as mere fabrications. "I have changed for the better. I`m single now and I would like to respect the relationship I had. I wouldn`t be with someone if I haven`t had an amazing time or for that matter if both of us haven`t had a great time. It`s over now and we both have moved on and I have a lot of respect for that person, so I would not like to dissect anything," she said.

And as for the question whether they’ll continue to jointly own their IPL team, Preity said, “Of course we are still friends".

Well, here’s one actress who is bold and beautiful and doesn’t shy from speaking her mind.
