Amrita denies rumours of her link-up with Shahid

Whatever might be the reasons for it, it is official that Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor are not together anymore. It is also obvious now that Kareena's closeness to Saif Ali Khan has been the catalyst for this split. But, how does Amrita Rao fit into the scene?

Of late, the rumour that is circulating in the gossip circuit is that this petite actress, more popular for her 'girl next door image', is the reason behind the Kareena-Shahid split.

Amrita, who entered the world of modeling quite by chance, when she auditioned for an advertising film for Fairever Face Cream, appeared in a number of television spots for several products. Making her cinematic debut in the 2002 film Ab Ke Baras, she gained recognition only after the success of her 2003 film, Ishq Vishk, in which her portrayal as Payal earned her present image.

Success followed for her in 2004 films like Masti and Main Hoon Na. However her following releases Deewaar (2004), Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi (2005), Shikhar (2005), and Pyare Mohan (2006) did poorly at the box office. Next, she is doing Athidhi with Telugu movie star Mahesh Babu.

Her most recent release, Vivah opposite Shahid Kapoor was a universal success Her performance was well appreciated from critics. But this on-screen chemistry might have triggered all the rumours of her link up with Shahid.

A source claims 'one day while shooting for Vivaah, Kareena dropped by the sets to surprise Shahid, unfortunately though she was not very happy when she saw Amrita Rao coming out from Shahid's trailer van. Kareena began to have doubts at the time about Shahid and Amrita's proximity, but she decided to let go of it and put on a brave front. However recently her doubts have been further fuelled by the fact that Amrita has bought a new home close to Shahid's place. It seems that this is one of the reasons that drove Shahid and Kareena apart.

However, Amrita expresses her surprise towards this link up and calls it 'weird' and 'baseless'. She reveals that there in none special in her life currently and her career is her prime focus right now. She also feels that it's silly and funny that she has been paired with Shahid.

It was also rumored that Amrita also turned down a Yash Raj banner film opposite newcomer Ranbir, as she was not comfortable with doing a kissing scene in the film. But, Amrita maintains a diplomatic stand and says that she doesn't mind an image makeover and is willing to turn over a new leaf as a sensuous actress. Exposure on screen and intimate scenes, for her, would be based on the demand of the script. Now, it seems Amrita is learning the trick of the trade!

After Madhuri Dixit, Amrita has become the muse of renowned painter M. F. Husain after her role in Vivah. He has made over 15 paintings of Amrita and is constantly in touch with her even though he is in exile. Amrita is quite elated to be his latest muse and is overjoyed by the painter's attention.

Her career is also going steady as she doing Anil Kapoor's film Shortcut. A comedy with Shyam Benegal, Mahadev is on the pipeline too.
