Promises are made but not all promises are kept. This is true even in Bollywood. Ask Kangana Ranaut, the actress plays an important role in the much awaited Kites, but she is nowhere to be seen in the film's publicity. It is all about Hrithik and Barbara with Papa Roshan joining in.
Even the initial publicity of Madhur Bhandarkar's Fashion ignored Kangana.
Another victim of broken promises is Sonam Kapoor. The actress was quite excited about walking the red carpet at Cannes as L'Oreal's brand ambassador but queen bee Ash didn't want the new kid on the block to steal her thunder. So Sonam had to say no to Cannes.
Southern sensation Asin hit it big in Bollywood with Ghajini, but when it came to the promotional activities, Aamir Khan being Aamir Khan overshadowed her. Though Asin had an explanation for her absence at publicity events, but the public knows it all.
Another victim of Aamir's omnipresence is Jiah Khan. The dusky actress was left out in the cold from all Ghajini publicity.
If Aamir hogs all the publicity, can Shah Rukh be far behind. The focus of Billu's publicity was on SRK and the three actresses in the item songs and the real heroine of the film, Lara Dutta, was nowhere to be seen.
