KAREENA KAPOOR’S ANGER EXPLODES: FEUDS WITH PRIYANKA CHOPRA AND AISHWARYA RAI SHAKE BOLLYWOOD
Rivalries among Bollywood stars are nothing new, but when it involves Kareena Kapoor and two of the industry’s biggest names, Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai, the tension becomes the talk of the town. Kareena, one of Bollywood’s reigning queens, has never been one to hold back, and her past disputes with both Priyanka and Aishwarya have caused quite a stir. Here’s the story behind these high-profile feuds, from subtle jabs to fierce competition on screen.
**Clash with Priyanka Chopra**
The rift between Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra has been a simmering topic in Bollywood circles for years. It all began during their time together on the hit film *Aitraaz* (2004). Priyanka, playing the antagonist, stole the spotlight with her role, earning critical acclaim and public praise, leaving Kareena, the film’s lead, somewhat overshadowed. Rumors spread that Kareena was unhappy about Priyanka receiving more attention for her performance.
The tension between the two actresses reached new heights during their appearance on the popular talk show *Koffee with Karan*. In a notorious episode, Kareena took a dig at Priyanka’s accent, asking, “Where does she get that accent from?” This comment sparked a social media frenzy, with fans speculating about the brewing animosity between the two. Priyanka’s swift and sharp comeback—”I got it from the same place her boyfriend got his”—was a pointed reference to Kareena’s then-boyfriend, Saif Ali Khan, who was known for his British-inflected English.
Though both stars have attempted to downplay their rivalry in later years, their relationship has never fully recovered. When Priyanka transitioned to Hollywood and achieved international success with her role in *Quantico*, comparisons between the two actresses intensified once again, further fueling their unspoken competition.
**Ongoing Feud with Aishwarya Rai**
In addition to her issues with Priyanka, Kareena has long had a tense relationship with another Bollywood icon—Aishwarya Rai. Their friction dates back to when Aishwarya was cast in the iconic role of *Devdas* (2002), a part Kareena reportedly coveted. Ever since, the two have been viewed as competitors, not just for roles but also for the title of Bollywood’s ultimate beauty queen.
Kareena has never been shy about expressing her opinion, and in one of her boldest remarks, she once said, “I don’t need Aishwarya to teach me acting,” implying that she didn’t see Aishwarya as a role model in any way. This statement added fuel to the already fiery relationship between the two actresses.
The rivalry was further intensified when Kareena replaced Aishwarya in the highly anticipated film *Heroine* (2012). Aishwarya had been originally cast in the lead role but dropped out due to her pregnancy. Many saw Kareena’s acceptance of the role as a power move, seizing the opportunity that once belonged to Aishwarya.
Although neither actress has publicly addressed the full extent of their conflict, their mutual avoidance of each other at public events has been widely noted. The strained relationship between them has never been fully resolved, and their silence speaks volumes about the lingering tension.
**Conclusion**
Feuds between Bollywood’s leading ladies have always fascinated both the media and fans alike. Kareena Kapoor’s long-standing issues with Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai remain some of the most talked-about rivalries in the industry. All three women are powerhouses in their own right, with millions of fans and countless accolades. Yet, it’s the fierce competition and under-the-surface tension that makes their stories even more intriguing.
Whether these relationships will evolve in the future remains uncertain, but the drama from their past will undoubtedly continue to capture attention. In the glamorous yet cutthroat world of Bollywood, rivalries such as these add fuel to the fire of fandom, ensuring that these legendary stars remain the center of public fascination for years to come.
