Despite Kings XI Punjab’s poor run at the IPL this year, it’s owner Preity Zinta remains one of the wealthiest lady in the tinsletown. According to some cricket experts, Preity’s stake in her cricket team alone is valued at around Rs 350 to Rs 400 crores.

Not only that, the actress is also likely to be declared the heiress to Shandar Amrohi, who is one of the co-owners of Kamalistan Studios (worth Rs 600 crores) that originally belonged to Meena Kumari and Kamal Amrohi. It is said to be a prime property, being eyed by several builders.

Shandar considers Preity to be his adopted daughter and wants to will his property to her. However, the legal dispute over Kamal Amrohi’s property remains unresolved and is leading towards an out-of-court settlement. Now, the buzz is that Preity might restore the Kamalistan Studios.

There is a strong rumour that suggests that at some point Preity will sell some part of her IPL stake and redevelop the Kamalistan property alongwith a high-profile builder from Pune.

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta on Saturday donned an apron and a chef’s cap as she launched Emami Group’s edible oil brand ‘Healthy and Tasty’ in Kolkata.

Emami has roped in cricketer M S Dhoni and Preity, as the ambassadors for the brand.

“I am thrilled to become the ambassador for Emami’s edible oil brand, Healthy & Tasty. As I had the opportunity to use the oil, I am fully convinced that Healthy & Tasty will break the myth that health and taste cannot go hand-in-hand in food. On the contrary, maintaining a healthy lifestyle even by consuming tasty food will now be a certainty with the Healthy & Tasty brand. The brand will help any food sparkle with both health and taste,” said Preity.

Meanwhile, Dhoni and Zinta have teamed up to do a TVC for the brand and the ad-film has been directed and conceived by Prahlad Kakkar and Adi Pocha.

“I had a wonderful experience to work for the ad-film of the brand along with M S Dhoni,” said Preity.
