20th April 23, 2007 saw ex-lovers Aryan Vaid and Anupama Verma under the same roof in public since their much publicized Bigg Boss romance and fallout. The two were present at the St. Andrews Auditorium, Bandra as judges to a college talent hunt which focused on acting, dancing and modeling.
Although they once shared a very close relationship the two did not even acknowledge each other's presence with a greeting there. In fact Aryan left barely 10 minutes after Anupama's arrival through the exit nearest to his seat. We caught up with him before he made his way out asking him about Anupama presence. He said "She is here? I didn't even know."
Aryan may not have seen his ex-girlfriend but Anupama could not stop glancing at Aryan while he was at the function. However, when we asked her why she did not go up and say hello to her fellow Bigg Boss inmate she requested there be "strictly no talking about Aryan. We are no longer seeing each other."
Style guru and choreographer Rohit Verma promised two male participants they would walk the ramp with Anupama in Dubai because he was so please with their performance at the show. Would Anupama agree to such an opportunity with Aryan as well?
"Do not portray Aryan as a compulsory element with me. We are both professional models. If we have to work together we will work," said a peeved Anupama.
Other judges at the event were Pooja Bedi, Gary Richardson, Sharon Prabhakar, Govind and Sandip Soparrkar.
