Strangely, Shahid Kapoor preferred to avoid ex-flame Priyanka Chopra at a recent event. The two, who stay in the same housing complex in Versova, just missed crossing paths recently.

PC was preening and pirouetting on the red carpet for the shutterbugs in her cape-and-hood dress. Shahid happened to arrive immediately after, but when he saw Priyanka ahead of him, he stopped in his tracks.

He then did a U-turn and began talking shop with director Milan Luthria who was behind him till she moved away.
