Deepika is ignored at fashion show

Talk about turf wars. At the Mai Mumbai show, Preity
Zinta cheered for many friends from Bollywood — from Arjun Rampal to Farhan
Akhtar. But when Deepika Padukone walked the ramp, Preity just didn’t seem to be
enthused. Now, was there a twinge of jealousy?

Earlier, Manish Malhotra’s front row on Friday saw a Bollywood full-course
meal with Deepika, Asin, Anushka Sharma, Riteish Deshmukh and even yesteryear
star Sridevi. But what we saw was Deepika being ignored by both Asin and Anushka
— with the newbie having nowhere to look except sheepishly concentrate on the
show.

While rivalries are part and parcel of Tinseltown, what was interesting was
that Asin was also chatting up Sophie Chaudry who was sitting to this South
Indian actress’s right. Deshmukh was sitting between Anushka and Asin and all
three bonded well as they could be seen giggling and chatting happily. Only poor
Deepika was left out. She was only seen conversing with Sridevi, who was sitting
to her left.
