Rani is jealous of Ameesha's closeness to Kunal

The close friendship of director Kunal Kohli and actress Ameesha Patel is giving top name Rani Mukherjee the jitters… Rani feels that Ameesha is stealing the limelight from her.

Initially, Ameesha's role in Kunal Kohli's flick Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic was supposed to be only a guest appearance. However, because of her closeness with the director, the role has been extended… and now Ameesha is being promoted as one of the lead heroines in the flick. This isn't going down well with Rani Mukherjee, who was hoping to make this film all her own.

A source says, "Kunal seems to be taken in by Amisha's soft nature and even fought with Aditya Chopra to get Amisha's role extended in TPTM. And he has made her look stunning in the film, unlike Rani, who's looking uninspired. The effort and care that has gone into Amisha's character is very apparent."

When Rani noticed Ameesha promoting the film as her own, she immediately went to boyfriend Aditya Chopra (producer of the film) and demanded Ameesha back off. Aditya then told Kunal to put the breaks on Ameesha or else he will never be allowed to work for Yash Raj Films again.

In related news, there are reports that Ameesha Patel has split from boyfriend Kannav Puri, because of her alleged new-found love for Kunal Kohli. Amisha's spokesperson says, "Amisha and Kannav haven't broken up." And adds that she doesn't want to comment on her friendship with Kunal.
