Kapoor Family Dotes On Diva Sonam And Sweet Abhay Deol Turns Sour

If there was one word I could use to sum up Abhay Deol, it would have to be ‘unassuming’. Yes, I know that the Deol cousins are known for their no-fuss, no-airs attitude and their relentless camaraderie, but Abhay Deol seems to lead the pack… especially as far as mild-manners and politeness are concerned.

But lately, it seems, the youngest Deol lad hasn’t been taking too well to the expensive designer nakhras of his co-star Sonam Kapoor, who plays his romantic love interest (and also the lead role) in the up-and-coming Kapoor family production named Aisha. The plot, which is a spin-off on Jane Austen’s unfinished masterpiece, revolves around a giddy-headed Sonam Kapoor, who has been more in the spotlight for her fancy, insanely exorbitant designer threads than her acting talent (or the lack of it).

Rumor has it that Deol Jr. couldn’t quite come to terms with the fact that the doting Kapoors were willing to spend more than his entire remuneration for the film, on darling beti’s hair and costume.

So, he decided to come up with some nakhras of his own, which were carefully planned to give the film’s financiers some serious heartache and a considerably lighter bank balance. Abhay insisted on eating custom-made food prepared by his handpicked (and very pricey) chef throughout the duration of the shoot.

Now, if Abhay’s newfound gourmet palette is just an attention-seeking ruse, it sure has had the effect he intended. Badi behen Rhea Kapoor, who besides being the producer of the film is also Sonam’s elder sister, can’t quite fathom how to budget Abhay’s star-studded tastes, or even worse… why a usually reticent Abhay decided to suddenly act up on her.

Rhea dah-ling, sorry to break your pretty little heart, but here in Bollywood, the magnitude of a star is directly proportional to the number of frazzled assistants fussing around him. So, if you choose to treat Abhay like a second-hand citizen, you can rest assured that this chota lion of Punjab won’t take your snub all too well.

In fact, so would I, if I were in Abhay’s shoes. For all the hype and hoopla surrounding Sonam, you still have to remember that the girl is only 2 films old, and hasn’t quite gained the acting accolades to throw her weight around. What’s more, her credibility as an actor has scant to do with her histrionics… rather, all we ever hear about Sonam is her expansive wardrobe of Lanvin and Herve Leger smocks, and expensive bauble.

Contrast this to a not-so-dashing Deol who has worked hard to climb up the popularity polls with commendable performances in Dev D.Honeymoon Travels Pvt. Ltd. and , and it’s obvious why the jat refuses to take your ‘Sonam-mania’ lying down.
