"I'll Always be Grateful to Kareena Kapoor!" - Lovely Singh
Director Lovely Singh is rather peeved at ill-informed reports in the media which speculated on the the status of his friendship with actress Kareena Kapoor. Yesterday, a tabloid carried a story which enumerated a number of reasons why they were not close friends anymore, and that she did not even invite him for her wedding.
Says Lovely, "Its true that Kareena and me have been friends since Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai. She is a great human being and a great friend but nothing is permanent in life. We did have some misunderstandings but nothing was so serious that they have quoted me as saying that I wasn't invited for her marriage. That is something I never said."
Adds Lovely Singh, "Kareena and I distanced ourselves two years back. But I'll be always grateful to her for being there as a friend and being there for my first movie like how Ayesha Takia and Tusshar Kapoor were. I wish her all the best she is a great actress and no one can take this away from her. I wish her happiness!"
Now that this statement clears the air, hopefully no further fabrications will appear in the media about the details of Lovely and Kareena's friendship.

Reason behind the ex-BFFs' split
Ironically, while friendship has been an abiding theme in Hindi films down the years, real such alliances don't seem to last very long in the industry. The latest being Kareena Kapoor and producer Lovely Singh, once known to be the best of buddies, no longer share the same camaraderie.
It's been a while since they drifted apart but neither of them has come out in the open, till now. "Things are not the same between Kareena and me. We are not much in touch. I guess we are both extremely busy with our work," Lovely said when quizzed by Mirror. After a pause, he added, "If you really wish to know anything further, let me tell you I was not even invited for her wedding."
Asked what drove them apart, Lovely refused to divulge details. However, we spoke to sources closeto the duo and found that a few common friends had managed to create misunderstandings between them.
A source close to the Kapoor family revealed: "Even Kareena's mother Babita did not approve of Lovely. She felt he was beginning to wield too much influence on her decisions about her life and career."
Apparently, that's when Kareena started distancing herself from Lovely and this upset him since it was he who stood by her when she parted ways with Shahid Kapoor and went through a particularly low phase.
The change in equation had one more fall out. Lovely's brother, Rahul Singh, who used to manage Shahid's work, was forced to leave the job because of the 'Kapoor' factor.
While Lovely has managed to put the past behind him, fact is he could not fulfil his dream of making a film with Kareena - something she had promised him in the past but kept dilly-dallying till the cracks emerged...
