Bollywood's big battles


Amongst the glitterati of tinsel town are some of the worst star wars. Take a look as we blow the cover on some.
B-town's real big wars - Bollywood1

Sonam vs Aishwarya Sonam was slated to walk the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival this year as cosmetic giant L'Oreal's new-inducted brand ambassador. The headiness got to Sonam and she courted controversy by saying L'Oreal's other brand ambassador belonged to 'another generation'. When the other ambassador is the towering Aishwarya Rai, you know it wouldn't go down too well. L'Oreal clarified it had no plans to replace Ash with a younger face. Sonam is an India face, Ash the international one. Sonam did not walk the red carpet at Cannes and Ash had the last laugh.

Kareena vs Ameesha Another 'debut' battle—Kareena's debut film Refugee flopped while Ameesha's debut flick 'Kaho Na Pyar Hain' rocked. Of course co-star Hrithik walked away with all the accolades and rewards from KNPH, but Ameesha was a hit too. Besides, what made matters worse was the supposed fling between Hrithik and Kareena. For Bebo, her boyfriend shared incredible chemistry with someone else. She gave up on Hrithik but going by Amisha's career graph, Bebo could well have waited and changed the course of Bollywood relationships as we know them today.
SRK Big B This one is about wearing the biggest titles—Badshah vs Shahenshah. SRK felt the pinch when Big B returned to Bollywood with unconventional roles and heaps of endorsements. Could he challenge SRK brand appeal? SRK decided to strike back by treading the Big B's path—right from Kaun Banega Crorepati - 3, campaigning for Nav Ratna Tel, remaking 'Don' and a statue at Madame Tussauds.
Aishwarya vs Rani Once friends, but the whole world knows that Rani's parents wanted the reel life chemistry between Rani and Abhishek to be converted to real life. But along comes Aishwarya and steals the show and Abhishek, from Rani. Ash's item number 'Kajra re' was the talking point of the Abhishek-Rani starrer, 'Bunti aur Babli'. Going further back, don't forget Ash was originally picked for the SRK-Rani starrer, 'Chalte Chalte'. But then boyfriend Salman's temper tantrums led Ash to be replaced by best friend Rani
Abhishek vs Hrithik They started their careers at almost the same time. But their careers took off very differently. While Hrithik was instantly feted as the next superstar, Abhishek had to struggle with his flops and near-rejection. 'Dhoom 2' propelled the rivalry to greater heights. The Hrithik-Ash jodi stole the show. Abhsishek tried take on Hrithik with a sci-fi thriller, 'Drona'. It's a film Abhishek would rather forget, though his rivalry with Hrithik continues to simmer...
Salman vs Shahid: The industry's favourite bad boy has another war brewing on his hands. Salman apparently cold-shouldered Shahid on a recent TV show where he's host. While Shahid downplayed the snub, Salman dismissed questions by saying he couldn’t really add a spark to someone who is boring. Shahid and boring—we don't think so. Salman had better watch out for him.
SRK vs Aamir This has been the most enduring of all star battles in Bollywood. It began over a decade ago in 1996. Aamir has always believed that SRK piqued his dream of securing a hat-trick for winning the Best Film Award at the Filmfare Awards. 'Jo Jeeta Wahi Sikander' and 'Hum Hain Rahi Pyar Ke' had won the Best Film awards in 1993 and 1994 respectively. In 1996, SRK's DDLJ walked away with the Best Film award. SRK was awarded Best Actor. Aamir of course felt his 'tapori' act in 'Rangeela' deserved the crown
Kareena vs Bipasha The genesis of this is Bipasha's debut film, Abbas-Mustan thriller, 'Ajnabee'. Kareena played the good girl while Bips played seductress. Apparently, those on the sets were completely taken in by the simple yet very sexy Bips. Of course Bebo can never play second fiddle and there are claims that she dubbed Bips a 'kali billi'. Ouch.
Salman vs Vivek vs Ash Among the most sensational of star wars in recent years, this one still manages to leave Aishwarya visibly upset. She dated both the actors at different times and they still refer to those years in public and most times, with regret and anger. In one recent TV interview, Vivek spoke at length about the Ash years and said it cost him his career and his friends. Why wash dirty linen in public after all these years is what we would like to know.
Rakhi vs Sherlyn Enhancement is the name of the game when we are referring to B-town's hottie item numbers. While Rakhi Sawant struggled to establish herself as an item girl, Sherlyn made an easy entry shaking her body, which infuriated Rakhi to no end. Both the ladies have a dare-to-bare attitude. Strong words and seductive moves... let's wait and see who emerges the winner.
