Abhay Deol who has been dating Miss Great Britain 2006, Preeti Desai, has now eneded his affair with the UK lass. Although Abhay has always been in the news for his off-screen flings, he never particularly spoke about the special women in his life.

The couple had reportedly met at the success party of Anurag Kashyap's ‘Dev D.' Hitting off immediately, the two had become an item. And though all seemed hunky dory initially with Preeti moving base to Mumbai for her modelling assignments, things went sour soon after.

Confirming the news a source told a daily, "Abhay enjoys life. His parting with Preeti is not shocking. It was bound to happen sooner or later. They have different likes and dislikes, which is one of the reasons why they could not sustain their relationship."

While Abhay remained unavailable for comment, Preeti says, "Abhay and I are single. We are friends. I will not say whether or not I was dating Abhay. That's my personal life and I don't talk about it. At this point of time, I am friends with a lot of people in the industry."
