I applaud Preity's decision, stand by her: Rajkummar Santoshi

Santoshi, who co-scripted Preity starrer Dil Hai Tumhara, said: "I don't know what the truth is, but I know Preity very well. She is very hard working and sincere. She is very courageous, and outspoken."
At the trailer launch of Chaarfutiya Chhokare in Mumbai, Santoshi said: "If the allegation has been made by Preity against Ness Wadia, then I will definitely appreciate her decision and stand by her in her decision. Just as it is wrong to commit a crime, it is equally wrong not to speak up. I appreciate her decision to file a complaint against that concerned person and I am with her."
Preity lodged a written complaint against Wadia with the Marine Drive police station on Friday, last week. She accused Wadia of grabbing her hand and abusing her during a cricket match in Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on May 30.
