It was a high profile event and the shutterbugs were busy clicking the ladies as they moved around. Freida kept her distance from the Bollywood starlets.
According to a tabloid, when a photographer requested Freida to pose with Shilpa for a picture, she flatly refused to oblige. Nevertheless, the girl was seen posing together with other actresses, as Lara Dutta, Malaika Arora, Dia Mirza, Sameera Reddy and many others were present at the launch. But next to her was Genelia D'Souza, not Shilpa.
Confirming the news, a source said, "It was evident that Freida wasn't too comfortable with the attention she was getting. There was a conscious attempt on her part to not be clicked with the B-town actresses. When asked to pose with Shilpa, she just turned it down and moved the other way."
When Shilpa was asked about the incident, she said, "Who is Freida? I don't know about her throwing a tantrum but as far as I know nobody asked me to take a photo with her. I was asked to do one with the entire group and I did that. I have no problems posing with anybody."
However Freida did pose with Genelia and Heroes' star Sendhil Ramamurthy, at the event.
