Was Shilpa Shetty's reaction when snubbed by a certain Miss Pinto at a recent store opening

Shilpa Shetty and Freida Pinto are both hugely popular in the UK. And for different reasons (Shilpa rose to fame after her Big Brother win, Pinto recently shot with Woody Allen for a film set in London). Is that why Freida refused to pose with Shilpa at a recent event?

During the event, a photographer requested Frieda to pose with Shilpa for a picture. However, she politely turned down the request saying she didn't have enough time on hand. A source says, "It was evident that Freida wasn't too comfortable with the attention she was getting. There was a conscious attempt on her part not to be clicked with B-town actresses. When asked to pose with Shilpa she just turned it down and moved the other way."

It was only the group photo where both Shilpa and Freida managed to share a frame. Shilpa laughs off the incident and says, "Who is Freida? I don't know about her throwing a tantrum but as far as I know nobody asked me to take a photo-op with her. I was asked to do one with the entire group and I did that. I have no problems posing with anybody."

Genelia's an exception?

However Freida did pose with Genelia at the event. Was it because they're both RCs (Roman Catholics) and share a connection to Bandra (where the event wasu00a0-- Genelia lives in Bandra and the suburb used to be a haunt for Freida even before she began shooting there for Slumdog Millionaire)?
