I was constantly abused, threatened by someone who was very dear to me: Preity Zinta
Writing on her Facebook wall, Zinta on Wednesday, July 2 claimed that she lost her patience after being "abused, threatened and harassed by someone" who was very "close" to her.
Zinta also lashed out at her critics who earlier had poked fun at her or had slammed her for her decision of taking the "personal matter" to police. While writing her latest Facebook status, the actress did not leave a single stone unturned while speaking about the case which seems to have changed her entire life.
Zinta filed an FIR against her ex beau Ness Wadia. The duo are the co-owner of IPL team -- Kings XI Punjab. Zinta accused Wadia of abusing, threatening her inside the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai during an IPL match between Punjab and Chennai on May 30.
Meanwhile, it was reported that the Wadias have been getting threatening calls from underworld don. According to sources, the don apparently asked the Wadias not to indulge with Zinta. However, the actress, in her Facebook status, overruled such reports saying she was unaware of such dons.

For
the
Record...
Sometimes
in
life
one
is
faced
with
a
situation
that
blows
up
in
your
face
irrespective
of
which
path
you
take.
The
last
few
days
have
felt
like
an
emotional
and
moral
roller
coaster
for
me.
What
surprises
me
most
are
some
of
the
reactions
that
i
have
seen
or
heard
from
people,
friends
and
the
media
regarding
this
situation.
Sadly
in
India
the
fairer
sex
has
to
have
a
larger
limit,
more
tolerance
and
worry
about
what
people
will
say
irrespective
of
the
facts
and
the
truth.
I
appreciate
all
the
people
who
stand
by
me
and
support
me
but
i
must
confess
i
am
genuinely
surprised
and
shocked
at
some
reactions
from
people
in
general.
My
F.I.R
IS
VERY
CLEAR
yet
its
INTERPRETATIONS
ARE
MIND
BOGGLING
and
there
is
so
much
speculation
as
to
Why
did
i
do
what
i
did
?
What
was
the
motive
behind
my
actions
etc
......
therefore
this
is
my
attempt
to
set
the
record
straight.
Why did i report a personal matter to the police? PERSONAL MATTER ? Seriously ? For the record this relationship was ended by me in 2009 and i don't ever recall having gone to the police on any personal matter irrespective of what happened then. But now its been 6 years since the break up so THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL MATTER.
Is
this
done
for
MONEY
?
IPL
was
my
project
from
the
start
and
for
the
record
not
only
did
i
pay
for
myself
(5
crores)when
i
got
into
the
IPL
(bid)
I
paid
for
Ness
too
!
5
crores
!
(Proof
of
my
financial
commitment
in
the
IPL
is
with
the
Bcci.)
To
be
fair
to
him
he
did
pay
me
back
a
couple
of
months
later
(
without
any
premium)
so
Hope
the
money
theory
is
put
to
end
once
and
for
all.
I
have
never
taken
ANYTHING
from
anyone
now
or
ever
in
the
past
as
I
have
a
lot
of
self
respect
and
pride
myself
for
being
self
made
and
not
motivated
by
other
people's
money.
Instead,
whenever
i
could
help
him
in
my
capacity
i
did.
The
Go
Air
commercial
was
done
completely
free
of
cost
by
me
and
the
money
that
i
earned
on
the
Tv
show
Kaun
Banega
Crorepati
was
also
donated
by
me
for
the
Wadia
Children
hospital.
If
money
was
my
motive
in
life
then
why
did
I
decline
late
Mr
Shandaar
Amrohi's
will
(he
treated
me
like
his
daughter
)
which
was
worth
hundreds
of
crores
in
court
and
in
the
media
?
Is this done for PUBLICITY ? No one wants to be involved in something like this this for cheap publicity as this is more humiliating then something to be proud of, specially if you are a very private and self respecting person. I have been in this film industry since 1998 and have been part of the biggest blockbusters in the past. From Best actress awards to a bravery award i have won them all so please give me a break ! I don't need publicity, specially cheap publicity.
My disappearance to the US - I HAD to go to the Us as I had work there which i could not ignore due to a prior commitment. In the end of the day I am a professional and cannot let my work suffer. I came back to India as soon as the police department required me to do so to help with further investigations.
Fight for SEATS - Really ? 50 seats and a V.I.P air-conditioned box (35 seater) was there , yet me and my friends sitting on 6 seats becomes an issue ? All through the IPL I have given ALMOST ALL my seats to the players families so taking over seats at all games is a completely wrong accusation and disrespecting anyone's mother is OUT OF THE QUESTION as i might forget my name but never my manners.
Why did I file a F.I.R with the police ? Because after several warnings over the years I WAS LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION..... The whole point of this is that violent physical or aggressive behaviour should not be tolerated by rich or poor, man or woman, celebrity or not !
JEALOUSY
?
Life
moves
on,
people
move
on
and
so
have
I,
and
Happily
so.
I
firmly
believe
and
live
by
the
principle
that
The
Windscreen
is
always
larger
than
the
rear
view
mirror.
Underworld
Don
-
I
am
as
clueless
and
surprised
about
this
development
as
anyone
else
is
and
am
only
a
spectator
like
every
body
else.
PRIDE
-
Its
worth
fighting
for
irrespective
of
size,
class
and
gender.
One
of
the
few
things
money
CANNOT
buy
and
the
only
thing
that
keeps
your
head
over
the
crowd.
Standing
up
for
yourself
-
If
you
can't
stand
up
for
yourself
don't
expect
the
world
to
stand
up
for
you.
No
one
knows
this
better
than
me.
WOMAN
POWER
-
If
only
a
mother
had
corrected
her
son,
when
she
saw
what
he
was
becoming,
and
not
ignore
it
;
If
only
the
journalist
had
not
said
-
‘' Why
is
she
making
a
big
deal
of
an
incident
that
is
not
rape
or
murder;
"
If
only
the
girlfriend
had
walked
out
when
she
saw
the
first
sign
of
abuse
;
If
only
the
female
voter,
made
a
note
of
an
insensitive
politician's
attitude
towards
women
and
made
sure
he
never
got
elected
again
;
If
only
other
women
didn't
dilute
the
seriousness
of
the
offence
by
calling
it
Jealousy
;
If
only
the
reporter
did
not
write
an
article
to
bring
down
any
woman
or
her
character
only
because
she
had
the
guts
to
report
it
and
stand
up
for
herself
...........................IF
ONLY
!!..............
Police
investigation
is
on
so
i
would
humbly
request
people
to
have
a
little
patience
and
wait
for
all
the
facts
to
come
out.
This
is
not
a
frivolous
or
immature
complaint
to
the
police.
I
have
never
lied
in
the
past
and
do
not
lie
when
it
suits
me
or
is
convenient.
I
am
a
responsible
citizen
of
this
country
and
my
only
fault
is
that
I
am
a
woman,
who
reached
a
breaking
point
after
constantly
being
abused,
threatened
&
humiliated
at
work
by
someone
who
once
was
very
dear
to
me.
Violence and aggression against women is wrong, yet people try to point fingers at the woman who comes out with it trying to make her sound frivolous and with ulterior motive. My only motive is to fight for my self and this fight is not against any family but an individual. If the media found out about my complaint, and it became a big deal what can i do about it ? Did I call for a press conference ? NO I did not. I actually asked people and the media to respect my privacy.
As
i
said
earlier,
My
motive
is
not
to
harm
anyone
but
only
to
protect
my
self
!
I'm
grateful
to
any
man
who
has
had
the
courage
to
stand
up,
for
woman
genuinely
going
through
similar
circumstances.
You
are
and
always
will
be
OUR
HERO
!
I rest my case.
