Gauri confronts SRK about Priyanka?

This drop of juice is currently making it's rounds on Bollywood sites, have a read:

Cyber space is abuzz about actor Shah Rukh Khan's wife, Gauri Khan being upset with actor Priyanka Chopra. Apparently, Gauri doesn't like the fact that Priyanka is always around her husband whenever she's shooting with him or during events.

There are around 14 lakh websites speculating about the rift between Shah Rukh Khan and wife Gauri on the issue of Priyanka. The mother feeds (sites that have originally reported the rumour) are said to be run by Bollywood insiders, who are generally assistants (AD) to reputed filmmakers and struggling to make a name for themselves in Bollywood.

"The fondness between Priyanka and Shah Rukh has upset Gauri, who nowadays frequently gets in to arguments with her husband over the issue," says a blog run by a Bollywood assistant director.

"Gauri is quite upset with Shah Rukh's closeness to Priyanka and this has become a major reason of tiff between the two. Shah Rukh has devised a new way to deal with this issue and he is keeping himself busy in shooting films and other endorsements," says another insider on the web.

After tracking this hot gossip on the web, we got in touch with two of SRK's friends, who admitted that his friend circle too are not liking the fact that Priyanka keeps hovering around their friend all the time. "She is always around him. She is shooting with him, practicing with him (for performances), eating with him, partying with him. There's only Priyanka around SRK these days and nobody else. Of course, Gauri is upset and we have heard that she has already had a talk with SRK," says a source.

Priyanka and SRK have been bonding very much lately and particularly after shooting for 'Don 2'. Priyanka has always confessed to being a Shah Rukh fan. When she came on Karan Johar's chat show last season, she couldn't stop giggling the moment SRK's name was mentioned to her. "She blushes and giggles every time Shah Rukh's name is mentioned. I know that..." said her on-and-off boyfriend actor Shahid Kapoor, who was sitting beside her.

I have to say, despite the fact that I have my own reservations about SRK's total off-screen persona, I hafta call bullsh*t on this one. I also had my doubts about THIS much ado about nothin' from a couple of weeks back.

SRK's been seen off screen with many a Bollywood babe throughout his career, why is Gauri all of a sudden seeing red with Priyanka? Puh-leeze, despite Priyanka being a flighty girl, she ain't dumb. Fat Lip's doing what she has to do to make her movie(s) soar at the BO. If that means she has to be seen and heard with SRK, then so be it. At the end of the day, money is the name of the game. Gauri knows SRK won't come out do anything publicly to disgrace his family or their marriage. As long as she can get this pulled back and that tucked in while having a doobie here and there, she's happier than Bipasha at a frat party.

I think at this point their happy marriage is nothing more than a glorified business deal, like many Bollywood marriages. SRK can have his, while she has hers. Together they raise the kids and smile for the cameras. And from what I hear, Gauri is no saint herself! Why would she give a sh*t if he was schtuping someone else? It's Bollywood for crying out loud, the Sodom and Gomorrah of India!

It wouldn't surprise me if these so-called arguments in the Khan household, that are getting so much "coverage" on the net, is yet another pawn in the game! ;-)
