KL Rahul is respectful with women: Preity Zinta

India batsman KL Rahul is “very respectful towards women” and it was sad to see him become a subject of nationwide criticism in the wake of his and HardikPandya’s sexist remarks on a chat chow, Kings XI Punjab co-owner and noted actor PreityZinta said Friday.

Both Rahul and Pandya were handed a provisional suspensionfor their controversial comments on ‘Koffee with Karan’, a show Zinta herselfhas appeared on. Their suspension was lifted but they still face a BCCI inquiryconducted by Ombudsman DK Jain.

   

“It is so good to see Rahul back in form. He is a very verynice guy. What happened is in the past. I just feel the bad the way the wholething turned out but you live and learn,” Zinta told PTI.

“Actually, he is very sweet and respectful with women, so I don’t know the way it all came out. As I said, these are teachable moments. His friend and teammate Pandya was trolled more for his loose talk on women but Rahul too has admitted that he had started to doubt himself as a person after the incident. He has put the controversy behind and is very much in the reckoning of a World Cup spot.”
