Status conscious Karisma Kapoor was absolutely flummoxed at a public function recently when she was made to sit with the likes of Aishwarya Rai and Raveena Tandon while sis Kareena sat perched in the front row with Rinke Khanna and Esha Deol.

What added fuel to fire was the fact that the emcee observed how actresses like Aishwarya, Karisma and Raveena had balanced their acts by doing commercial and art films at the same time. While leaving one heard Karisma complain to Kareena as to how dare he (the emcee) took her name in the same breath as those of Ash and Raveena because Karisma feels that she is certainly senior to Aishwarya Rai and much ahead of Raveena Tandon.

But Bebo was heard consoling, "How does that matter as long as it was she who was actually getting meaty roles". And it was Bebo`s pearls of wisdom that came as a relief to Karisma.
