It has always been a known thing that in the Bollywood industry, many actresses cannot see each other eye to eye. They have been pretty vocal about the same. Two of the most talented stars of the Hindi film industry- Bipasha Basu and Katrina Kaif reportedly have friction. There have been reports that stated their ex-boyfriends, Salman Khan and John Abraham, did not get along well. An old statement by Bipasha has gone viral, revealing that she did not get along with Katrina Kaif.
Bipasha Basu’s statement of having a rivalry with Katrina Kaif goes viral on social media
Bipasha, once on the sets of Koffee With Karan, had shared openly about how she could greet Kareena Kapoor in events but not Katrina Kaif. Reportedly, the statement that has gone viral is from Bipasha’s appearance on the chat show back in 2000. Now, on Reddit, an old statement of Bipasha went viral where she said:
“I will greet Kareena cordially at an event if I meet her but not Katrina.”
Netizens speculated that Bipasha did not have a bond with Katrina, as she had replaced many actresses in movies with Salman’s help. One user on Reddit commented, “Priyanka has mentioned it in her books that she was replaced by an actress because she was the girlfriend of this big star – I think, who other than Kat?” One user also noted that Bipasha had passed the statement when Katrina was doing well at the box office. The Redditor wrote, “Yeah, but this was during the time Katrina was pulling huge box office numbers and people were lining up for her movies to see her dance numbers.”
One Redditor also noted that Bipasha was not insecure about Katrina without any reason. The user shared that Katrina had complained to Salman Khan about John Abraham, which had soured Bipasha’s equation also with Salman Khan. The user shared, “Katrina had the audacity to get close to John during New York. Kat is no saint; she got close to another heroine’s boyfriend while they were already dating. She also rarely got along with her contemporaries at the start of her career.”
When Katrina Kaif spoke about her friction with Bipasha Basu
It was in 2008 when Katrina and Lara came on the sets of Koffee With Karan. It was during this time on the show that Karan asked her many questions about her personal life, including her rivalry with Bipasha. He told Katrina that both of them have ‘steamy stuff’ happening as they do not talk or even look at one another. Katrina directly told Karan that he should ask Bipasha about the same, as she already had her stand clear on the issue. Katrina shared that both of them are in the industry to work and that Bipasha worked hard to make a name. Katrina shared:
“That is something, that honestly, you will have to ask her. I did try and clarify my views and my standpoint on the whole issue surrounding nothing. At the end of the day, I’m here to work, and I definitely know so is she. She is a person who’s working very hard in the industry, and I think that’s definitely where she wants to be. And today, I state very clearly that I think you’re a wonderful person. I genuinely, actually do.”
