Celeb histrionics and music talent hunts
Kareena and Priyanka were at loggerheads in the film Aitraaz. But, on Sony Entertainment's Indian Idol they bonded like buddies from way back.
When one of the contestants, the popular Amey Date requested the two hotter-than-the-hottest star-guests Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra to sing. Priyanka turned to Kareena to remind her of the song she sang professionally for Govind Nihalani's Dev.
Kareena reasoned back that it's Priyanka who has a better voice. So, it was Priyanka who got up on stage to sing the sensuous Tinka tinka zaraa zaraa from Karam.
Priyanka was nearly moved to tears when Amey Date sang the perennially popular Manna Dey classical Laga chunri mein daag. "It's my father's favourite song and he sings it all the time," Priyanka tells Amey emotionally. Kareena goes even further. "I may not be around to see you in the next two-three weeks. But, as far as I'm concerned you're the Indian Idol," she tells the visibly tickled Date.
Quite a mandate for Amey Date!
