This month’s first blind item comes from Rajeev Masand. We have to say though Rajeev has always been our favourite blind item author, but lately he has been posting blind items that have been written about in the news before. Like this blind item below, we posted the news of this happening weeks back and Rajeev made this into a blind.

Bollywood Blind Item

A Condescending Friend

Could it really be true? Have two of Bollywood’s A-list superstars—until recently close friends—fallen out? Well, that’s certainly what insiders are saying. According to eye- witnesses who swear they were in the room when the cracks first appeared, the two leading men had a verbal altercation a few weeks ago that has reportedly resulted in the two gentlemen going their own separate ways.

Story goes that the mild-mannered actor who was attending the success party of his close friend’s most recent blockbuster couldn’t stop patronising his buddy, insisting that he’d finally done such a good job on-screen. He repeatedly pointed out that if only the star had worked harder throughout his career, he’d have a lot more to show for it in terms of enduring performances. The actor is believed to have gone on and on about how uninterested his friend used to be in his work, and how much sooner he might have reached the top spot had he invested more in his career. It was meant to be affectionate ‘buddy talk’, but there were far too many people in the room, and the actor wasn’t thinking twice about the “condescending manner in which he was reprimanding another major star in full public view”.

Several drinks down already, the other star, his patience fast wearing out with his friend, is believed to have snapped at one point, and launched into a colorful tirade. He called the other actor out for being a hypocrite and compared him to another A-lister with whom both men have shared an on-off friendship, insisting the other star was “more genuine” and “less calculating” than him.

Our sources say the host was feeling infallible in the wake of his most recent success. He was in no mood for a lecture, and the other actor had just touched a raw nerve in him.

The confrontation apparently ended with the ‘patronising’ star leaving the party visibly humiliated by his friend’s outburst. Neither has spoken to the other in the weeks since. And they have both told their respective circles that they are no longer friends.
