'Preity caused the rift in the family'

Written By Unknown on Rabu, 29 Januari 2014 | 22.14

The Shandar Amrohi-Preity Zinta saga has taken a new turn with the former's sister in a sworn affidavit accusing Preity of misleading him and striking deals for redevelopment of family-owned Filmistan Studio behind his back.

In the affidavit filed at the Bombay High Court in response to Preity's claim that Shandar, who passed away in 2011, owed her Rs 2.8 crore, Rukhsar Amrohi has said that this money was, in fact, an investment made by Preity in what her own account books refer to as the 'Kamal Amrohi Project'. Nowhere in the books, however, it was elaborated what this 'project' was.

Rukhsar, who had a long-standing dispute with Shandar over the substantial properties their father filmmaker Kamal Amrohi left in the family, now shares their sole ownership with her brother Tajdar. Describing Preity's motivation for growing close to her brother as malafide, Rukhsar has alleged that she was responsible for the rift in the family.

"Preity not only influenced Shandar, but she also instigated him to go against siblings," she has said. The affidavit adds that as per her father's will, Shandar, she, and Tajdar were bestowed only 'life interest' in the family's properties, which meant that they could only transfer the shares within the family during their lifetime. Thus, Rukhsar has argued, all her brothers' deals with various developers are illegal.

Rukhsar has also charged Preity with dealing independently with at least two developers in Shandar's absence in matters concerning his shareholding in the family assets.

While Preity has claimed that she paid lawyers involved in Shandar's various court cases, Rukhsar believes that the actress spent the money because of her interest in the 'Kamal Amrohi Project' and not as help to her brother.

"From the documents produced before this court, it can be derived that the plaintiff (Preity) was not helping Shandar Amrohi to fight any litigation but she herself was interested in the Kamal Amrohi Project," says the affidavit.

The affidavit adds that while Preity has attached bills raised by law firms representing Shandar, but these payments made by Preity are only with regards to those proceedings initiated by Shandar against Rukhsar and her son, whereas, he was fighting other cases too at the Company Law Board level for the sale of same shares.

Demanding a probe by Enforcement Directorate into the Rs 40-crore Shandar received from DB Realty, Rukhsar has said that it needs to be looked into why her brother received such a paltry amount a property whose market value is manifold more.

"The Enforcement Directorate should find out whether any further amounts were received by the parties." The affidavit claims that a large chunk of Rs 2 crore (Rs 1,54,15,000) that Preity claims she loaned to Shandar was paid through a certain Inder Mallick, who is a close associate of Preity and has nothing to do with Shandar or any other member of the family. "If this money was paid to Shandar, why did Preity not raise the issue for two years after his death," Rukhsar has asked.

When contacted, Rukhsar refused to comment. Preity's lawyer Hitesh Jain of ALMT Legal denied all allegations made in Rukhsar's affivadit."We don't want to make any comment as of now as the matter is subjudice. But we will appropriately respond to this in the court."
