International
cosmetics giant L’Oreal recently got a taste of the tantrums thrown by
Bollywood stars.
Aishwarya Rai,
Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film
Festival as the Indian faces of the brand and Team L’Oreal wanted to shoot a
commercial featuring all three of the Indian stars.
Sonam Kapoor
In 2016, L’Oreal
Paris had shot a commercial featuring Aishwarya and Sonam to promote their
lipstick collection. And this year they wanted to shoot with their star trio,
including newly minted L’Oreal ambassador Deepika Padukone.

All three stars
were asked to green light the project and Aishwarya gave the project her thumbs
up and let the team know about the availability of her dates.
But that is when
the problem started. Turns out, Deepika and Sonam did not want to shoot
together at all.
Ranbir Kapoor
Interestingly, Sonam Kapoor was mistaken for Deepika Padukone by the international media at Cannes.
But the two actresses made their stand clear. They were not averse to sharing screen-space but they did not want to shoot together.
Aishwarya was informed of the change in plans.

So, to comply with Deepika and Sonam’s demands, L’Oreal has decided that they will shoot all three of the Indian stars separately and combine the footage with digital trickery to make it look like Aishwarya, Sonam and Deepika are in the same frame together.
Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have always shared a cold equation, thanks to Ranbir Kapoor. The star had dated both the beauties before he moved on to Katrina Kaif, who too interestingly had a contract with L’Oreal. So, everyone was surprised to see Sonam and Deepika's camraderie on an episode of Koffee With Karan in 2010. (Perhaps the reason was that they where jointly ROASTING Ranbir Kapoor).

We wonder if the two warring ladies will be able to fake friendship for the cameras again as they pout and preen in the commercial.
