This week's Open Magazine article, written by Rajeev Masand. This one really made me think hard ;-).

Few actresses would be foolish enough to send birthday greetings to a famously pissed-off wife of an actor she’s having a rip-roaring affair with. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what one leading heroine did a few years ago, albeit inadvertently.

In her enthusiasm to wish a producer-friend’s younger sister (who happens to share the same name as her then actor-boyfriend’s wife), this actress reportedly sent a mobile text message to a friend asking for the birthday girl’s number. Misunderstanding whose number she was being asked for, the friend in return sent the actor’s wife’s number, puzzled as hell why the actress would ask for the wife’s number but too embarrassed to enquire. The actress then apparently dashed off a friendly birthday greeting, thinking she was sending it to her producer-friend’s sister. When she didn’t receive a reply even until a few days later, she decided to find out if she had the correct number.

Which is when she realised the horror of what she’d done. To make matters worse, she learnt that it was in fact the actor’s wife’s birthday only a few days later.

The actor’s wife didn’t respond. You wouldn’t believe where she was at the time—on a luxury cruise with her husband, enjoying a private holiday. It’s a miracle the husband wasn’t thrown overboard after that message landed in the wife’s mobile inbox.

This is about hrithik-kareena/priyanka/katrina and his infamouse coke addicted wife because the only badly pissed off wife who is infamouse for her utter annoying attitude and bloody witch look is sussane "dumb" khan roshan.

OHO..YES YES...100% AGREE WITH YOU..

Saif Khan, Amrita Singh, Kareena Kapoor. The sms sent to Amrita Arora by mistake. Ok she's not a producer's sister (sister-in-law though?) but here's the clincher.... Amrita Arora's birthday is Jan 31 and Amrita Singh's birthday is Feb 9!!!

well,gauri and twinkle are never famously/infamously pissed off.It's suzzane roshan.Remember,she was shamelessly and hopelessly beaching about her marriage and her drug addiction to masand.It showed how pissed off and highly stupid she is!Actress could be pc/bebo.Not many dumb pinkvillians don't know this fact that bebo and hrithik are still in "TOUCH" and they 'socialise' each other a lot!

stupid people...read the damn item. the producer's sister has the same name as the actor's wife....comeon!!!
and for those who are offended.....WTF are you doing on this website. go to savitabhabhi dot com.

It is media people like you who make affairs like srk and priyanka ALIVE.

Srk is known to be over friendly to all his heroines and some are his few good friends.
Srk and priyanka are both professionals and cannot be bothered with some rubbish.

who cares what gauri think? If she is so insecured, she should scold her husband instead, instead of showing anger whenever she hears priyanka's name.

Its so called cowardly journalists like rajeev masand who refuse to put names in your " ? pop quizzes" that make normal people like me glad that we have a happy and undisturbed life.

why the hell pinkvilla is not posting my comments.I'm sure these loser people from bollywood(susane roshan and her druggy-family) doesn't want to be damaged in front of the whole world.But it's funny because they are already infamouse,baster people.She herself is commenting here blaming on others.SHAME ON YOU,...you cokey b**ch.

actress having affair with married man in Bollywood.
PRIYANKA most likely candidate considering her long history with married men

moimeme's picture

when PC was going around with Akshay, she was not a leading actress then..leading actress would mean a top actress, I guess...It could be Preity Zinta..She was rumoured with married men before. It could be Shekhar Kapur or Saif Ali Khan!

One thing we can all be pretty sure of is that if it was a man, if it was in the film business and if it was married Priyanka Chopra probably took a crack at it.

Another actor who was rumoured to have had an affair was Govinda, and his wife is named Sunita... now that truly is a "common" or popular name, but again which producer has a sister named Sunita?

Kitty's picture

If this is "a few years ago" maybe it's supposed to mean Kangana and Aditya but I dunno if any producer has a sister named Zarina?

Anonymous's picture

Ronnie Screwala, Vashu Bhagnani, and David Dhawan,what about these people and the names of their sisters.Does anyone know?

@Masand

This is one hell of a tough one to crack. I tried last night but failed.

given that this is sometime back, The only married actor who have been known for having affairs with lead actress is - Akshay Kumar . But which producers has a sister named tina??

Ajay devgn never has affairs with actresses;-) only the crew members.

Why can't it be SRK-Gauri-Priyanka...a few years ago SRK and Priyanka were not that close..now they are close. Plus this acticle says the actress is presently having the affair with the actor. You all think everyone is mad..by now the entire Bollywood probably know of SRK-Priyanka's affair. There are plently of proofs..some people's just don't want to see it.

Anonymous's picture

Sajid Nadiawala sister name is Afifa Nadiadwala, I don't know if he has another sister though. Then again according to this article the actress is presently having a rip-roaring affair with thie actor. Famously pissed-off wife mean we all know the wife is pissed off. But remember this incident happen a few years ago. Things can change in people's lives from since a few years ago.

"Few actresses would be foolish enough to send birthday greetings to a famously pissed-off wife of an actor she’s having a rip-roaring affair with. But as it turns out, that’s exactly what one leading heroine did a few years ago, albeit inadvertently."

THIS PART SOUND LIKE SRK-GAURI-PRIYANKA.
