On Friday night, Kareena Kapoor drove down from Pune to Mumbai to shoot for her televised act for an award function. What should've ended in a matter of hours took forever thanks to Priyanka Chopra.
After finishing her make-up and hair, Bebo arrived on the stage to find it occupied by her arch rival PC. She had to wait for four hours before she could shoot her performance.
Will be here awhile
Reveals a source present at the awards, "Kareena landed at Yash Raj Studios around midnight she found the stage occupied by Priyanka.
She waited patiently for a few minutes. On spotting her, PC came down from the stage and told Bebo that she couldn't give up the stage till 1 am (though the latter had been assigned the stage at 12 am)."
Ms Chopra continued to rehearse till 4 am, at which time, the exhausted Kapoor girl decided to go home.
Cancellation, explanation
The following morning, Bebo asked her manager Zahid to cancel her shooting (with Salman Khan for Bodyguard) for Saturday in Pune and then returned to the studio to finish her song.
Normally, the fiery Kareena would have flared up at being kept waiting for over four hours but though she was smarting over the humiliation, she kept her cool. Later, she called the organisers and said her piece.
They explained to her due to some technical problems, Priyanka's act had taken so much time.
PC's spokesperson maintained she wasn't aware of Bebo having to wait for four hours, "Not that I am aware. Priyanka had a long act with many changes." Kareena remained unavailable for comment.
