Why did she say no to her close friend?

Kareena Kapoor and Karan Johar share a strong bond, with Bebo even having gone to the extent of saying that KJo is like her brother. Of course that doesn't mean that Kareena and Karan have never had their differences. We know how she refused Karan's 'Kal Ho Na Ho' because of money issues. The two patched up since then but now there's something else that's cropped up that might affect the relationship. 

Apparently, Karan wanted Kareena for an item number in his 'Agneepath' remake that stars Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. Kareena is believed to have refused. 

The song is supposedly set in the HQ of the villain (played by Sanjay Dutt) and has been planned as a super sultry number. 

So why did Kareena refuse Karan? Allegedly, she wasn't too comfortable being part of the same project as Priyanka Chopra (though PC has reportedly agreed to do an item number in the SRK-Bebo starrer 'Ra.One'). Priyanka's friendship with Shahid Kapoor, Kareena's ex, has never seemd to be out of the picture in the equation between the two. And one can never tell how Kareena and Priyanka will react around each other when they meet in public.

Kareena was also apparently not very keen on working with Hrithik. The two starred together in 'Yaadein', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' and 'Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon' and were said to be quite close at one point. But the relationship changed after rumours of an affair between the two that reportedly upset Hrithik's wife Sussanne. Since then, the two seem to be avoiding each other.    

So will the face-off between Kareena-Priyanka-Hrihik continue? Watch this space for updates!
