Preity Zinta injured

At the launch of the Indian Premier League's Mohali T20 cricket team on Tuesday the team owner Preity Zinta suffered a minor injury.

"I don't know how it happened," says Preity. "But in the melee at the launch an elbow came and hit me straight in the eye. I had to go through the event with a black eye wearing dark glasses."

After the event Preity spent the entire evening nursing her eye with ice packs.

"There's going to be some swelling. I was also injured a bit at the media launch of our team. I guess it's bound to happen when one is in such situations."
