As rivals for the number one actress spot, Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have never been friends, despite both actresses' close relationship with Salman Khan. Now, rumour has it that Heroine has given Kareena a chance to take aim at Katrina, at least on screen.
This report in The Times Of India says that one scene in the film has Kareena's character remark to a film journalist that another actress has only made it big because of the backing of her superstar boyfriend (in real life, Salman).
Not convinced she means Katrina? There's more. Kareena's character also goes on to say that the journalist should check the other actress' passport for her real name and nationality. That's pretty much what Deepika Padukone infamously said about Katrina on Koffee With Karan some seasons ago.
Kareena was reportedly reluctant to do the scene initially but was convinced by director Madhur Bhandarkar who argued in favour of the sizeable contingent of actresses non-Indian or partly Indian origin who come to Bollywood to try their luck.
Will Katrina retaliate? And how will Salman, who Kareena starred in the superhit Bodyguard and is close friends with, respond?
