It was a news only for a day but to fall flat the second day. In response to the report of Preity Zinta looking to lease out her place in Quantum Park, Khar (W), the actress maintains, "I've lived here for about a decade and I'll continue staying here. I'm not moving out of this place, so the question of leasing it to anyone doesn't arise."

Preity was in a queue for her Aadhaar card registration when she received our text asking if there was any truth in the reports of her flat being leased out. She couldn't revert on time. However, she did get back the next day.

The actress' dispute with Abbas Tyrewala is on in the court of law. He reportedly maintains that he hasn't been paid for his work as dialogue writer for her production, Ishkq In Paris. The cheque for `18.9 lakh that the actress issued to him, bounced. Preity herself is not keen to talk about this matter because it is subjudice.

However, her friend states that when Abbas was issued a cheque, he didn't deposit the same. "The film has released and Abbas hasn't proved which dialogue he wrote. Preity has about 80 people working for her, and every one of them is paid on time. So why would Abbas not be paid if he had done the work? Also, why should he be paid if he hasn't done any work?"
