Who is to blame for the Ekta-Shabbir rift?

Shabbir Ahluwalia and Ekta Kapoor

All's not well on the Shabbir Ahluwalia and Ekta Kapoor front. The Balaji grapevine has it that these two close buddies have stopped talking to each other. And it has been for quite a while. Those close to the czarina of the small screen will vouch for her affections for Shabbo —-as Ekta fondly calls Shabbir.

So what was the reason for drifting apart? Apparently Shabbo rubbed Ekta the wrong way. The first whisper came soon after Shabbo attended Nausheen Ali Sardar's birthday bash. Shabbo and Nosh (that's what Nausheen is called) were quite an item at the bash.

Apparently Shabbo refers to Nausheen as Naushad — he considers her as a buddy. Knowing Ekta's thanda vibes for Nausheen post her walkout from Kkusum, the queen of soaps was not all amused by the Shabbo-Nosh dosti. And had her say on it — after which Shabbo stopped talking to Nausheen.

Though Ekta and Shabbo patched up — it was not for long. What really upset Ekta was when she was not getting Shabbo's undivided attention and his bonding with the other Balaji folks.

This time Ekta was in no mood to patch up with Shabbo. Last heard, the cold shouldering was enough to form a glacier at Sankraman Studios.
