exclusive details of what acutally happened on May 30 inside the
Wankhede stadium pavilion and how the spat happened is now
available.
On May 28, which was Ness' birthday, Preity was present at the
cake-cutting ceremony. As reported earlier in dna, the vibes
between them have been cold this season and even during team
meetings there was no eye contact.
For the May 30 match, Ness, as a birthday gift, bought 35 tickets
over and above the 15 seats he was entited to as co-owner of
the Kings XI. The entire management gets 50 seats. Maureen
Wadia had agreed to come and watch the match.
When Ness arrived with his contigent at 8pm, he realised that all
the seats were occupied. He tried talking to the team
management and others but nothing happened because most of
the seats were occupied by Preity and her friends, according to
www.mumbaiwallah.com, the celebrity website, known to be
close to the Ness Wadia camp.
After about 10 minutes, Maureen arrived with Ness' nephew, Jeh
and Celina Wadia's son. They had to keep standing. The wait
lasted for 20 minutes, after which Ness got agitated. By this
time, three seats were organised for the top three. Preity had
told officials that she would handle Ness if he objected but she
ignored the waiting contingent by which time, "Ness was fuming
with anger", according to a guest.
According to Preity, by this time Ness came and pulled her hand
and started arguing with her. By this time Ness crossed over to
the railing and spoke to Priety bending close to her ears and also
held her hand firmly, maybe because she was leaning on the
railing.
This is the nature of the conversation that followed based
on interviews of some guests, though all words may not be
correct:
Ness : What's going on here?
Preity: What do you mean what's going on?
Ness : Why have you taken all the seats?
Preity: So what? You came late. How was I supposed to know.
Ness : It's my birthday and you knew my mother was coming.
She's 71 and she's been standing for nearly half-an-hour. You've
shown your true colours.
Preity: Don't you dare talk to me like that.
Ness : You are really so disrespectful. This is what you are.
Preity: Why don't you just (expletive) off!
Ness : Listen to yourself... this is your culture.
Preity, in fact, has said that it was Ness who used expletives,
though one of Ness' guest says the contrary. Preity in her
statment has said Ness was rude and also threatened her, apart
from trying to drag her by the arm. The conversations given
above could not be verified independently.
Both Ness and Preity will give their statements to the police this
week after which the exact nature of the spat will get clearer.
