The world of Bollywood as we all know it'll now not be the similar place. For, our top actors are out waving white flags in what appears to be the season to kiss and make up. The only one who has turned a patch-up favourite is actor Kareena Kapoor, 31, whose arch rivals are either praising or befriending her, putting behind bitter catfights that were in news not see you later ago.
Among those out to make peace with Bebo are Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, Freida Pinto and most recently Priyanka Chopra, who visited her at the sets of madhur Bhandarkar’s Heroine.
Senior media expert Rauf Ahmed feels the cycle of jealousy, bickering and subsequent patch-ups between heroines is due to the “PR overdrive.” He says, “They understand the necessity to do these items. Sometimes they speak inappropriately, feign ignorance after which say sorry.”
He recalls the late Dev Anand’s words: “He used to say, never mind good, bad or indifferent reports. The key is that you're being written about.” Check out the general public spats and the even-more-public praises for Kareena recently.
Katrina Kaif
Her fight with Kareena hit headlines last year, but she told us in an interview, “We don’t fight like kids. We're not like that.”
Anushka Sharma
The two shared cold vibes until last year. In a up to date interview, however, Anushka said, “Kareena is a superb and talented actor.”
Freida Pinto
The actor praised Kareena recently for changing the pay scales of female actors within the industry.
How time and again do I patch up, asks Kareena
Bebo, on her part, says nothing ever went sour between her and Priyanka Chopra, no less than. “How again and again will I patch up along with her? I HAVE NOT had any issues with Priyanka,” clarifies Bebo. “It was very sweet of Priyanka to return over. Honestly speaking, I HAVE NOT checked out her as a competitor.”
Apparently, problems between the 2 started with a Koffee With Karan episode when Kareena made fun of PC’s accent. In retaliation, Priyanka said that she got her accent from where Bebo’s boyfriend Saif Ali Khan got his. PC had also said, “I don’t think people take Kareena too seriously.” Later, when KJo asked her what she’d steal from the computers of Bollywood superstars including Bebo, Priyanka mocked, “Does Kareena have a pc within the first place?” But back in 2010, some reports said the 2 had made peace.
PC denies SHE was out to make peace
Priyanka says she went to fulfill filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar at the sets of Heroine, and never extend an olive branch to Kareena. “I’m an excessively friendly person, but I never exit of my method to make friends. I never really had any issue with Kareena. I met her at Madhur’s set and Madhur is like family. I'M very content in my space.”
