SUCHITRA Krishnamurthy’s outbreak against Preity Zinta, blaming her for the break-up with hubby Shekhar Kapur has made the spunky actress – upset.

Both Preity and her friend Ness Wadia are wondering why Suchitra has been talking in this way. Preity denies having anything to do with Kapur and has issued the filmmaker an ultimatum to clear her name.

Preity said, “I don’t know how I get involved in controversies. Where do I come into this? I’ve met Shekhar maybe five times in 10 years.

He was supposed to make my launch film. But it never happened. But we’ve kept in touch and we’ve met up when he was in India.”

Suchitra remains appalled by Preity Zinta’s guts to even call her up and offer explanations, Suchitra says “Preity called me and asked why I was slurring her reputation? How dare she call me? She dare not call me again.”

Suchitra claims that Preity even tried to get her and her daughter to attend the premiere of Jaanemann.

Suchitra says; “She was holding a screening for kids and wanted Kaveri and I to attend. She wanted to build this family image, but I am appalled at her guts.”

When Preity spoke to Suchitra she supposedly even tried to explain to her that she was getting married and that Shekhar would give her away – like a father gives away his daughter.
