Amrita Singh ignores Kareena Kapoor

There's an unwritten rule in the industry. Uncomfortable situations involving personal or professional rivals are studiously avoided. However, Saturday evening turned out to be an exception; call it a goof up of sorts on the part of YRF Studios, which is otherwise quite well organised.

According to an eyewitness, Saif Ali Khan's ex-wife Amrita Singh walked into the studio and headed for her make up room on the ground floor. However, when she saw Saif's beau Kareena Kapoor's name on the door of the opposite makeup room, she left the area and went to a different location to avoid a sticky situation.

It is learnt that minutes later, a walkie-talkie message was conveyed to the team to have Amrita's makeup room shifted to another floor. Also, the plate on the door of her original makeup room, which read somewhat like: 'Amrita Singh look test for Aurangzeb' was removed.

Said an eyewitness, "Amrita went to the other floor and carried on with her work, and didn't give much importance to whatever happened."

When contacted, Amrita Singh confirmed her presence at YRF Studios on Saturday. However, she quipped, "I am not a newcomer to run away from such things. I have been here for 30 years and we are all professionals. I straight away went to the makeup room, which was assigned to me."

Minutes later, a YRF spokesperson called and said Amrita and Kareena's makeup rooms were always supposed to be on different floors.

Aurangzeb, a YRF production directed by Atul Sabharwal, stars Arjun Kapoor in a double role. A source close to YRF told, "Amrita is playing an important role in Aurangzeb."
