British model and Miss Great Britain 2006 has moved in with her boyfriend actor Abhay Deol in Juhu, reports Mumbai Mirror.
They had been dating since the beginning of 2009. Preeti had flown last year to Spain to accompany Abhay, who was shooting for Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. The latest grapevine is that the two are now in a live-in relationship.
Preeti has moved into Abhay's flat at Juhu. Earlier, Abhay was living with the Deols in their palatial bunglow in Juhu. However, he moved out in 2007 and is now living in a separate house in the same locality, one that Preeti could well be sharing with the actor.
The report quoting a source said, “The two are very happy. Their relationship, which did have its fair share of ups and downs, is now rock-steady.”
Preeti and Abhay's relationship ran into turbulent waters when Abhay went to America in mid-2009 for a few months; the long distance started telling on their relationship. But once Abhay returned to India, the two not only sorted out their problems but also cemented their union.
In a recent interview to a magazine, Abhay said, “I've had a live-in relationship before, and I'm most likely to have one again. If I was serious with a girl, things would automatically move towards living together.”
Preeti is the first woman of Indian origin to win the Miss Great Britain title.
Born and brought up in London, she is settled in Mumbai since 2008 and done quite a few modelling assignments. Abhay and Preeti first met in February 2009 at the success party of the Abhay starrer Dev D. It was love at first sight.
Both Preeti and Abhay are quite settled in their respective careers. While Abhay has almost moved into a quasi-A bracket post Dev D, Preeti has a lot of modelling work, aside from Ekta Kapoor's film Shor opposite American TV actor Sendhil Ramamurthy.
