Aishwarya Rai's past is suddenly confronting her. After a face-off with Salman Khan on December 17, she bumped into Vivek Oberoi on Saturday at Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Manish Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi at Andheri Sports Complex, reports Mumbai Mirror.
Aishwarya and Vivek were there for Mumbai police event titled Jashn 2010-Dhamaka Bollywood Ka.
After Vivek entered the stadium, he was shocked to see the seating arrangement. The LCD screen which was placed at the entrance showed that his seat was right next to Aishwarya's.
An eye-witness said, “Vivek literally froze at the prospect of sitting next to Aishwarya. He simply refused to enter the function.” The organisers then tried very hard and somehow managed to convince him to sit exactly where they wanted.
The eye-witness added, “There was space for one person between Aishwarya and Vivek. Asin was sitting there seconds before Vivek entered. She left that place to perform on stage. Vivek entered when Asin had left her seat.”
And the drama unfolded ... As soon as Vivek sat down, Aishwarya took a sneak-peek at him. Our source said, “She became very restless and began fidgeting. Vivek could sense her discomfort. He suddenly turned and looked at her.”
To help matters, designer Manish Malhotra who was standing nearby, came rushing in and sat between the two. Sensing the vibes, Vivek left his place in a few minutes and went away.
Aishwarya Rai and Vivek Oberoi remained unavailable for comment.
However Manish said, “Yes, I was sitting between Aishwarya and Vivek. But I didn't rush in. I was already sitting with Asin on my left. Vivek came in after Asin left to perform; it was he who was sitting in Asin's place, not me.”
