At the IPL’s post-match party, the duo looked at ease and chatted animatedly throughout the evening; providing gossip-mongers with enough fodder to speculate about their relationship’s status.

Meanwhile, Lee’s manager Neil Maxwell has rubbished the rumors and clarified in a statement that their relationship is “strictly professional.”

“Brett presented her with an acting award in England some years ago and they've been friends since. She is a very intelligent lady and very nice too," said Maxwell.

"I think with the media sniffing around, he has reason to keep his night life as quiet as possible," said Maxwell, who believes that media just wants to link Lee with someone because they did not get a chance to do so after he parted ways with his wife Liz Kemp two-years ago.

Preity happy despite team’s poor performance
Preity Zinta revealed on her Twitter page that she’s not overly sad with her team’s poor performance in this year’s Indian Premier League and still believes in her team.

"Cannot help it if we are losing in cricket... someone has to lose and this time it is us... I still stand by my team and hope we do better next year," posted Preity on her Twitter page.

In current IPL season, Kings XI Punjab has performed so poorly that out of 10 matches it managed to win only two and is the eighth-team in the event.

Reportedly, except Preity, other three partners, Ness Wadia, Karan Paul, and Mohit Burman are all thinking about selling their shares due to the team’s no show this year.

Preity richest actress in Bollywood?
According to the latest tabloids reports, Preity Zinta is the richest actress in tinsel-town. Reportedly, her stake in her IPL team is worth somewhere around Rs 350-400 crores currently.

However, some experts believe that this is just a tip of an ice-berg; the original figure is much higher and if she’s nominated heir to the Shandar Amrohi’s property than she will be even richer.
