Deepika Padukone supports Preity Zinta for taking a stand

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta’s accusation against former boyfriend Ness Wadia has stroked a dormant topic of women modesty.

Zinta filed case for outraging modesty of a woman and the Preity-Ness mess has taken Bollywood by surprise.

The industry's refusal to be drawn into taking a stand on the Preity Zinta-Ness Wadia case has left many wondering if all the talk about unity in the industry is mere hogwash.

At an event Deepika said, "I don’t think it’s my place to be commenting on anybody else’s personal space. What has happened and what hasn’t is none of my business. What I can applaud her for is the fact that I have always believed that she is a very strong woman and I appreciate her for that."

Clarifying that she was "saying it (her opinion) in the context (the Ness-Preity case)", the reigning diva admitted that she has “always admired her for the fact that she has always been very outspoken".

Deepika added, "She has always stood for what is right. Preity has never shied away from standing up for what is correct, and I respect her for that."
