Preity Zinta faces setback, eyewitness supports Ness Wadia

Mumbai: In a new twist to the ongoing Preity Zinta- Ness Wadia controversy, an eyewitness has reportedly come out in support of Wadia.

The witness, identified as industrialist Sharat Nath, says he was present at the same place as Preity and Wadia on May 30 during an IPL match between Punjab and Chennai at Mumbai's Wankhede stadium.

According to reports, Nath said, " Yes, I was present and I was standing around 10-12 rows behind Preity. She was in the very first line. I saw Wadia coming and his family members were with him. He went upto Preity and had a discussion but it wasn't a heated argument. Then he came back and took his family member to the air-conditioned section. I just said hello to him as I don't know him that closely. I just know Wadia socially."

He also added that he saw Preity through out the match and did not see them both going together somewhere.

"Whatever I saw there didn't ring any alarm bell. I didn't notice him touch her. He just walked away. From body language it looked like two people talking to each other," Nath told police during his interrogation.
