Jiah Khan, who starred in the unintentionally hilarious flop that was Nishabd, has been booted from the upcoming Ken Ghosh film, Star. The reason? The main star of... umm... Star, viz. Shahid Kapur, was freaked out by Jiah's sexual aggression... Ha! He wishes! The true story is that Jiah Khan followed him around like a lost puppy.
Sources close to the set say that Jiah was eager to hang out with Shahid Kapur soon after they met and followed him around the sets. Shahid Kapur "tactfully distanced" himself, before asking Ken Ghosh to fire her ass.
Wow... Tactful.
I don't know why Shahid Kapur is complaining about having a (kinda-but-not-really) hot chick follow him around on set. Let's face it, without the make-up, lighting and camera angles, Shahid Kapur is an ape-faced dwarf. He should be happy to have any girl follow him, never mind a (kinda-but-not-really) hot one.
These Bollywood stars ego's grow quickly don't they? Shahid Kapur had better watch out... I mean, being 5'5" it would be really easy for him to drown in his own machismo.
Ooh! Look who's coming! It's Tigger and the "Shahid-Troupe"! Run!!!

Tigger, can't believe every story that floats around. Please don't use such harsh words on poor Shahid :( I am so sad boo hooo.
In the last 2 weeks, I have read 10 different versions on this issue, some say it's the producers who don't want her, some say its Ken, now some say it's Shahid, and some says that she doesn't have dates to give as she wants to concentrate on her Aamir film Ghajini.
She says she is still doing Ken Ghoshs film and thinks there is no problem with anyone.
So, I would take this one as a tabloid made story, same as the one where they said 'Jiah cuts her hair for Shahid'. She clarified yesterday that she has not cut her hair! So, all that was hogwash too.
I am pretty sure this one is all mde-up as well.

That's funny, 'the Shahid troupe'.
Have read 10 related articles on this issue and I don't know which account to believe. Some say Jiah has no dates for this movie as she wants to do Aamir's Ghajini, some say producers have a problem with her and some say (like ur article) that Shahid got her out. I seriously doubt Shahid has that much star power, he's only like 6-7 films old, who give a damn what he wants? So, I would say all these stories are for gossip mongers like us, who would read anything just to know what's happening in the lives of their favorite stars??
I think, this report is as untrue as the reports saying Jiah got her hair cut for Shahid. The truth came out two days back when Jiah clarified that she loves her hair too much and she has not got it cut and she is surprised at these stories.
Oh whatever .... as you can see, I have too much time on my hands and hence provide my sincere patronage to Bollywood gossip blogs ;)

Lol, Sarah, you know I would never say that about Shahid.
There was a slight mistake made in the posting, and for a little while, it was supposed to be written by me...while it was written by one of the other bloggers who doesn't share our love of Shahid.
Yeah, I agree with you, some people give Shahid too much power. He isn't Shah Rukh Khan (even though his fan following is reaching SRK proportions) and I doubt he can influence his co-stars or producers that much. Maybe they'll respect his advice or suggestions, but they definitely won't kick out a lead who's already under contract.

I was quite shocked to see your name, I could not believe it. Only after posting my first comments I saw the name change. oh well.
There's a new interviews from Shahid, finally he's stepped out to launch a magazine and right from the horses mouth "With Jiah Khan, I've just shot a couple of days but I think, she seems like a really sweet girl and we've had a good time. "
Read Times Now Entertainment section, and you can watch this another short interview of his.
