Kareena skips Esha Deol's wedding
Esha's one-time best friend Kareena Kapoor is not attending a single event of her wedding; Kareena says she's out of town
Friendships and rivalries in B-Town are as fickle as anything else. Besties at one time, Esha Deol and Kareena Kapoor, have drifted apart and are no longer friends. So much so that today Kareena is not attending even a single wedding event of Esha's.
Says a source, "Esha and Kareena parted on hostile terms a few years ago. The two actresses had become very close while shooting for Yuva and were inseparable. In fact the two girls would run up huge mobile phone bills chatting away with each other well past midnight. Not only would they look out for each other but had even gone to the extent of covering up each other in boyfriend matters. But apparently Kareena said something about Esha that hurt her badly."
To make matters worse apparently a fight too had erupted between Kareena and Esha at a night club a couple of years. The source adds, "Though the reasons of the fight remain unknown, since then the two haven't been on talking terms. But this time when her wedding was being finalised Esha decided to extend an olive branch to Kareena, though she's still not forgotten what happened. Esha invited Kareena and her family through a mutual friend and Esha's secretary personally delivered the invite. Of course, the rift has still not healed as Esha didn't call Kareena personally."
Kareena doesn't deny that Esha and she were friends and one point and adds, "I'm on an outdoor in Thailand shooting for Heroine and will only be back on July 5 so I am unable to attend Esha's wedding events."
During Yuva she and Esha had become close friends. "Yes but I'm travelling now. I do wish Esha a happy married life always. Esha invited me and my family for the wedding. She told my friend Reenaa and her secretary sent the invite but Saif and me were away. I haven't been home in a month as I have been traveling all over London, Turkey and now Thailand."
When quizzed about whether her sister Karisma will attend Esha's reception, Kareena says, "I have no clue. I haven't asked. Lolo is in London and Los Angeles, holidaying with her kids for the summer."
Esha remained unavailable for comment.
Strangely even Esha's male co-stars and close friends, Ajay Devgn and Zayed Khan (who are in town) were also absent from all the events including the marriage and sangeet. Ajay left for Dubai yesterday morning.
