Declares Ameesha Patel about the Dutts, making pointed retorts at Kangna Ranaut by saying "co-stars come and go"

Dutt loyalists Kangna Ranaut and Ameesha Patel haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye for quite some time now.

As reportedu00a0'Kangs edges Ameesha out' (Hitlist, February 16), Kangna was proving to be more closer to Sanjay and Maanayata than the Patel girl.

Says a source, "Ameesha has been fuming ever since. This happened because Patel was absent at a couple of the Dutts' events. Almost immediately, there was buzz of a fallout."

The Patel gal was out of Mumabi for a show when the the buzz reached here. An upset Manaayata called her pal immediately. Ameesha was shocked as she had always been cordial to Kangs when they met."

Adds the source, "Ameesha has decided she has had enough. If she meets Kangna at a social event, she has decided to snub her. Patel feels Ranaut is behind this.

She has no issues with Kangna but won't allow her name and friendship with the Dutts to be tarnished at any cost."

The source continues, "Films have never mattered to Ameesha more than relationships, so to be accused of getting upset for losing films to Kangna, implied that she had got close to the Dutts to enhance her career. That is far from the truth.

In fact, few know that when Maanayata was about to deliver, it was Ameesha (not Kangna) who had driven down immediately to Breach Candy Hospital to be with her right from the beginning till Sanju came in from Dubai.

The Dutts consider her as family and have said they will do her kanyadaan when she gets married. Kangna is just a co-star for Sanju, not a friend."

Ameesha says, "I can't help it if people (Kangna?) use cheap publicity stunts to be in the news. I can't be caught in that web. Co-stars can come and go. Sanju and Maana will always be family."
