Lamest excuse ever! Seriously how dumb does she think the audience is.
And I don't buy this so called clarification from her. Seriously this article talks about her rapport with her co-stars. And in the previous line she talks about how sh gets along with harshad, and other co-stars and then mentions preetika. No mention of any characters from the show toh aliya kaha se tapki. So there's no way she can be misquoted. They asked about how well Dimple got along with her co-actors, then where did this barkat-aliya equation come from.
And even she clarifies abut Pree, she did talk about her other two co-stars from her other shows. Pree being the professional she is, will do an interview with D and say all is well between the two, but we all know how hurt preetika might have felt knowing what was being written about her.
I think it's a bit late for clarification and even if she wanted to clarify, how about coming up with a convincing excuse
