Stardom
is
definitely
a
boon,
but
it
extracts
a
price
too.
And
following
the
success
of
her
Vivah
Amrita
Rao
is
learning
this
the
hard
way.
The
current
controversies
about
Amrita
leaving
the
'girl
next
door'
image
,
has
put
her
in
a
state
of
disbelief
and
shock.
And
things
are
getting
worse
as
Amrita
is
just
hopping
mad
now!
Recently,
a
Mumbai
tabloid
reported
that
she
was
spotted
with
Shahid
Kapoor
and
his
family
watching
a
film
at
a
suburban
multiplex.
Shahid
of
course
has
already
denied
the
story,
and
the
actor
feels
that
he
is
being
dragged
into
too
many
meaningless
controversies
off
late.
Amrita
too
is
livid
by
the
allegations.
Hurt
by
such
'baseless'
reporting,
the
actress
says,
"It
is
shocking
how
people
can
make
up
such
stories.
I
was
nowhere
around.
I
was
celebrating
the
New
Year's
at
home
with
my
cousins.
After
that
I
took
an
early
morning
flight
to
Delhi
for
the
promotions
of
My
Name
Is
Anthony
Gonsalves.
During
the
past
few
weeks
I
have
been
on
a
roller
coaster
promoting
the
film
in
Ahmedbad,
Delhi
and
all
over."
Defending
her
cause,
Amrita
goes
on
to
add,
"I
haven't
even
met
Shahid
for
months
and
the
last
time
I
met
Shahid
was
almost
two
months
back
when
I
shot
for
a
promotional
campaign
for
Vivah
when
it
was
being
shown
on
television
for
the
first
time.
After
that
I
left
for
Jaisalmer
for
a
month-long
outdoor
with
Harman
Baweja
for
'Victory'.
As
soon
as
I
came
back,
I've
been
touring
cities
for
the
promotion
of
My
Name
Is
Anthony
Gonsalves.
Where
is
the
time
for
me
to
go
and
watch
a
film
in
the
theatre
in
all
this
mad
rush?
That
too,
with
Shahid
and
his
family!
It
is
preposterous.
I
wish
the
person
who
wrote
the
story
got
his
facts
right.
I
really
want
to
know
where
exactly
I
was
spotted." The
actress
is
surely
indignant
at
this
malicious
rumor.
She
is
also
upset
that
her
name
is
being
linked
with
her
Vivah
co-star
Shahid.
"Shahid
and
Kareena's
spilt
came
as
a
shock
to
me.
I
was
shooting
in
Hyderabad
for
my
Telugu
film
when
I
heard
about
their
split.
After
that
it
was
reported
that
Kareena
got
upset
because
I
was
spotted
coming
out
of
Shahid's
van.
This
is
utter
nonsense
and
plain
rumor
mongering.
I'd
like
to
remind
everyone
that
it
is
Kareena
herself
who
has
openly
praised
my
performance
in
Vivah
in
the
media.
She
has
always
been
more
than
nice
to
me,
so
where
is
this
rumor
starting
from?
It
is
baseless," retorts
Amrita.
The
actress
is
so
angry
over
the
reports
that
she
just
cannot
stop
rebutting.
"First,
I
had
to
counter
that.
Now
I'm
being
spotted
in
some
theatre
watching
a
film
with
Shahid,
when
I
was
never
actually
present!
It
is
blatant
misreporting.
Shahid
is
an
extremely
dignified
person
and
a
gentleman
to
the
core.
He
has
always
been
a
wonderful
co-star
to
work
with
and
such
baseless
stories
only
make
a
working
relationship
uncomfortable.
Fortunately
for
me,
Shahid
has
the
grace
to
laugh
these
rumors
off.
But
I
have
to
take
a
stand
because
it
is
utterly
ridiculous."
So,
this
is
Amrita
setting
the
record
straight
once
and
for
all.
