Stars' starry behavior

Tuesday night's music release of Kismet Konnection turned out to be a mini-disaster with half the media walking out of the event. The event, organised by Filmfare and Tips was to start at 8.30 pm.

Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan, however, only strolled in at 11 pm. A few TV channels walked out in protest. Vids apologised on stage blaming the "bad traffic" (Was she driving from Khandala?)

The punctual Shahid snapped, "I won't give any excuses, I was told to be there at 10!" Later, both waltzed off to Bling for their own private party with the rest of cast and crew.

A photographer was heard cribbing, "At the Filmfare cover launch event on Monday, Katrina Kaif came two and half-hours late! Earlier, Katrina was so professional but now she's also developed an attitude."

Oh, did we mention we liked what Miss Balan wore to the event. Now let's hope that her taste has changed for good and it's not just a flash in the pan.

The sound of fury

Preity Zinta stormed out of a dubbing studio because sound recordist Rakesh Ranjan left his assistant to take care of the recording

Preity Zinta

Early this week, Preity Zinta threw a fit and walked out of a dubbing studio where she was dubbing for Har Pal. Preity was dubbing for the film at Dev Anand's Navketan Studios at Pali Hill.

Our well-placed source from the industry says, "Preity was terribly upset because an unsavoury remark from the producer, Soni Juneja offended her. It took quite an effort to pacify her before she resumed dubbing."

Another source says, "Zinta got miffed because the sound-recordist, Rakesh Ranjan left assistant recordist Pradeep Suri to oversee the dubbing. However, Preity refused to dub without Ranjan's presence."

When contacted, Juneja did not deny the incident. He said, "Sound-recordist Rakesh Ranjan was unwell when Preity arrived at the dubbing studio.

I explained to her that she should go ahead with Suri, but she was uncomfortable with the idea of dubbing without Rakesh. She then left the studio and did not dub that day." Our source informs us that Suri felt insulted at this.

Juneja explains that Har Pal has emotions in most scenes and a slight change in dubbing can affect the quality of the film. "But everything is okay now. Later, I called up Ranjan and he arrived on the sets the next day. After that, Preity has been dubbing with us regularly," Juneja adds.

We called up Ranjan, who said, "Who told you all this? Suri is not my assistant. He is an independent sound-recordist."

We asked Preity what had actually upset her. In her message, the actress did not deny the incident but said, "Please don't call me for silly stories... I really don't know what quote to give you."
