Sydney: Australian cricketer Brett Lee shares a ‘strictly professional’ relationship with Bollywood actress Preity Zinta, says Lee`s manager Neil Maxwell, dismissing as "false" the reports of an alleged link-up.
There were rumours when the bowler, who is a member of Preity`s Kings XI Punjab team, looked at ease with the actress at an Indian Premiere League (IPL) cricket party.
Lee`s manager Neil Maxwell has slammed the reports and Monday said that the cricketer`s relationship with Preity was strictly professional, adding that the pair had been friends for years, a news daily reports.
"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.
