The
ongoing
HDIL
Couture
Week
has
brought
the
Kapoor
family
jhagda
out
in
the
open.
It
is
a
well-kept
secret
that
Boney's
and
Sanjay's
wives
are
not
on
talking
terms.
Sridevi
and
Maheep
had
a
misunderstanding,
and
stopped
speaking
to
each
other
sometime
last
year.
They
even
avoid
being
together
at
the
same
time
at
family
functions.
The
cold
vibes
between
the
sisters-in-law
was
known
only
to
people
close
to
the
Kapoor
bahus
but
by
her
single
act
of
walking
the
ramp
for
Queenie
Dhody
on
the
same
day
(October
12)
as
Maheep's
show,
Sridevi
has
outed
their
conflict.
Says
a
source
close
to
the
family,
"What's
worse
if
that
both
the
designer
and
Sri
kept
it
a
secret.
Only
two
days
before
her
show,
Maheep
learned
that
Sri
was
walking
for
another
jewellery
designer.
She
was
stumped.
Even
if
you
don't
get
along
with
a
family
member,
you
put
on
a
polite
front
for
the
world.
Sri's
act
of
endorsing
a
rival
jewellery
designer,
was
like
making
a
public
statement
that
even
Maheep's
family
members
don't
think
much
of
her
designs,
and
would
rather
wear
another
designer's
baubles."
Maheep
is
obviously
feeling
let
down.
Her
Facebook
status
message
yesterday
read:
"I
am
is
fascinated
at
what
lengths
people
will
go
to,
to
spite
you,
and
to
put
you
down." A
friend
of
Maheep's
says,
"She
has
no
malice
for
Boney
or
his
wife.
In
fact,
she
had
a
special
preview
of
Wanted
for
her
closest
friends
and
told
everyone
she
knew
that
it
was
a
great
film
and
they
should
watch
it.
That's
what
being
part
of
the
same
family
means."
When
contacted,
Maheep
doesn't
deny
that
she's
upset
but
adds
curtly,
"I
don't
want
to
comment
on
it.
It's
Sridevi's
prerogative
whom
she
wants
to
walk
for.
Why
don't
you
ask
Boney
and
Sridevi
if
there's
a
problem?"
Boney
Kapoor
tried
to
paint
a
happy
family
portrait,
"Sri
and
I
share
a
cordial
relationship
with
Maheep
and
Sanjay.
There
are
no
family
issues
and
even
if
there
were,
Sri's
not
a
petty
person
to
use
those
issues
to
do
something
like
that
to
hurt
her
deliberately."
When
told
that
Maheep
is
hurt,
he
adds,
"We
didn't
mean
to
hurt
Maheep.
Sridevi
came
to
know
just
a
day
before
the
show
that
Maheep
was
also
showcasing
her
jewellery
and
by
then,
it
was
too
late
for
her
to
pull
out.
In
fact,
Sri
called
me
up
in
Indore
and
asked
me
what
to
do.
I
told
her
if
she
had
committed
from
before,
then
she
shouldn't
back
out
at
the
last
moment.
It
would
be
unprofessional.
Maheep
shouldn't
be
upset
because
Sri
was
the
first
person
to
endorse
Maheep's
jewellery
when
she
launched
it
and
also
came
to
the
launch
of
her
boutique."
The
youngest
daughter-in-law
(Maheep)
knows
that
she
has
the
support
of
Anil
and
Sunita
on
this,
but
her
in-laws
have
made
it
very
clear
they
don't
want
to
get
involved.
Probably
because
Boney
is
supporting
them,
or
maybe
because
they
don't
think
it's
their
place
to
do
so.
