UITableViewCell not holding its selected state

Hello,

I have User Settings view and have a table to list the options.

When the user taps on a cell, the option is selected.

I am saving the option to the property list when the view disappears and till this it is working fine.

But when the user comes to the screen again, i want to have the already selected option to be highlighted(selected);

I tried setting cell.selected = TRUE and also [cell setSelected:YES animated:YES] but the cell is losing its selected state.

I can see the cell getting selected and also deselected?

How can i make a particular cell hold its selected state when the view loads?
