Rita Baduri

So low profiles are the relationships among the co-brothers in Bollywood that their rivalries are known only to the intimate friends and this is why no one has ever spoken about Amitabh Bachchan and Rajeev Verma in the same breath. Or for that matter, about Pankaj Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah.

Rajeev Verma is a character actor who has done over 30 films including Maine Pyar Kiya. His wife Rita (not to be confused with actress Rita Bhaduri) is the real sister of Jaya Bachchan.(nee Bhaduri). He never acknowledges his much more successful co-brother Amitabh Bachchan and in fact, they have never worked together! If Bachchans invited him to Abhi-Ash marriage, we have never heard it.

More interesting is the relationship between Pankaj Kapoor and Naseeruddin Shah. Pankaj married Supriya Pathak and Ratna is the wife of Naseer. These two have worked together but you can sense the undercurrent of rivalry between the two.

We, however, noticed one common trait in both of them. When Naseer failed as a director recently (Yon hota to Kya Hota) he blamed his producer and when Pankaj failed as Karamchand in its second avatar, he put the blame on the director, Pankaj Prashar.

Lets he how Pankaj's son Shahid and Sanjay Kapur relate to each other after (and if) Kareena and Shahid get married. Sanjay Kapur is elder sister Karisma's husband. Now don't ask me why these Kapoor girls marry only Kapoors!
