Apparently, BCCI decided to expel both teams on the charges of contravention of shareholding and ownership rules that as per the governing body threatened to "shake the very foundation of the tender process.”

This decision most definitely has left both ladies in a strange kind of predicament about their future as before termination, they were proud owners of teams that were making huge money for them.

It seems like suddenly they have nothing, neither a film career to go back to nor high-profile IPL team’s ownership.

Shilpa, Preity in shock
After finding out about the decision, Shilpa expressed her disbelief on her Twitter page, "Honestly too shocked to react, just disheartened...cause it’s more than just a team 4 us! Still haven’t recd the termination will react after. Need to know the basis of this decision.”

Preity, who was taking part in a fashion show, when she found out about the news, at first did the disappearing act, though, later tweeted that she’s shocked at BCCI’s decision.

So far, no other team owner has came out in open to either support the expelled teams or question BCCI’s decision except Royal Challengers owner Vijay Mallya, who tweeted his support and called the decision ridiculous.

Preity big loser
Industry analysts agree that this indeed was quite shocking as both actresses were experiencing high in their lives due to their IPL stint.

Both also had taken huge risk when three years back, they decided to invest not only money but all their energy in their teams and the gamble was paying off well, at least till last weekend.

As per analysts, it might be a bigger shock for Preity, who put on hold her steady going film career to concentrate on IPL, as compared to Shilpa, whose career was going downhill anyway.
