Missing Preity speaks out

Her competitors may think that she is missing from the promotional duties towards her IPL team, Mohali's King's XI, but they could not be farther from the truth. Preity Zinta's team gets all the attention that the other teams, and then some more, maybe because a woman is involved, and a big Bollywood star at that.

Preity manages and owns the team, and she plans to create all the tamasha herself. So while Vijay Mallya brings in cheerleaders from the US to grab a few eyeballs and to cheer for his Royal Challengers, Preity has to just be herself, and whistle and scream a bit to show her support. "My involvement with the team is total," she was quoted as saying, "I believe I am the team's good luck factor, so I want to be there for everything."
