Just before the screening, Shilpa realised she was given passes for screen four. Shilpa felt left out as she had thought that the Deols would include her in the Red Lounge because she is a part of the film playing Sunny's wife. She had also been talking highly about the film as she is extremely fond of the Deols.
Reportedly she was generous enough not to make an issue and just walked out of the auditorium as the film began.
The buzz is that Shilpa didn't want to be in the same auditorium as Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. Cinemax confirmed that Shilpa and her sister Shamita were given tickets for screen four, like most of the stars, because the Red Lounge was kept especially for Dharmendra, senior actors and certain ministers.
"Shilpa is a big star and we'd love to treat her with utmost honour and dignity," says Girish Wankede from Cinemax.
But her publicist says, "Shilpa to think like that. She doesn't There was a private show, arranged by the makers, specially for her and her family the next day at the Fun Republic preview theatre and Shilpa had a whale of a time cheering for the Deols."
Shilpa Shetty was unavailable for comment but every one knows she is too cool a person to get hassled about such things anyway.
