Preity Zinta, Ness Wadia to go for out-of-court settlement - Page 2

This is such a shame if true. She talked about protecting her dignity and what not. Now she will quote a price for her dignity? Pathetic!!

I knew something was fishy when she left for the US for a month immediately after lodging the complaint. I mean she's not working right now, what makes her so super busy all of a sudden? It appears like she wanted to give the Wadias enough time to think and propose an out of court settlement. That's exactly what is reported to be happening.

I still hope this news is false and that she fights for her dignity. Because it is really going to be a lot of bad press for her if she drops the case after creating a furore.

And u think she didn't know all this before filing that complaint??She took 3 weeks to file this complaint ...do u think that no one advised her and she has been with Ness for 5 years...do u think she didn't know what they can do...Come on Vedu Bhaiya...u know...she knew all this...u don't think she is that stupid...do ya??

Can anyone still blame the people who will now speculate that she did it for money or whatever??

Out of court settlements happen quite a lot. It doesn't mean the accuser is wrong. Not everyone wants to go through the long tough process of court, and that too relying on the outcome when the defendants have all the contacts, lawyers, power and money. Preity gave her statement that she's doing this for her own safety and well being. Even if she goes for the settlement, this forces Ness to think thrice before behaving the way he did with her

what would that settlement be? please don't tell me he will pay her money or something for what he did...I would lose a big amount of respect for preity that way

Well yes what you say has point but way Ness is rushing things clearly shows he was at fault and what he did was horrendous and bad...

What Preity did might have had a selfish motive but I still think her going for out-of-court settlement will only give her a secure monetary future. Its better than going door to door, without any support for 12 years for getting justice, which in this country one rarely gets especially one it comes to cases dealing with powerful man.

It's one thing to file the complaint but the kind of backlash she has faced. All the shaming and questioning her basic right as the citizen of India. I am sure nothing could have prepared her for that . The fact that 100s of eye-witnesses are not testifying. Police haven't bothered to question Ness about this yet. The case even before fully read was dismissed as an ex-lovers tiff and is being considered as frivolous.

Zinta has welcomed bad press for herself by doing this!

It won't be held against her if she back out. there is so much you can take. the person who should pursue this is Ness . If he wants to get the clean chit as he otherwise claims to have. I doubt a tycoon can be so benevolent and let an allegation go without it's consequences.

Still , i think these are all speculations, she might stick around and fight it . Shouldn't be taken so seriously.

What about Ness then? Why is he settling if he did nothing of the sort? The negative perception of settlement goes both ways.
