This was one of those events which never really got off. The music launch of the much touted Kismat Konnection, was a disaster from the word go. Ironically, there was no connection happening, none between the film, its makers and stars with the media and guests present at the event. In fact, the two star attractions of the film, Vidya Balan and Shahid Kapur only made it to the event when it was winding down.
Both the leading stars of the film arrived together, a good two hours behind scheduled time. Funnily enough both had different reasons for being late even though they walked in together. For Vidya, the excuse was the horrible traffic, while Shahid insisted that there was some kind of miscommunication about the time he was supposed to arrive at the event. Incidentally, this is the film which triggered rumours of the Vidya Shahid romance. It was during the shooting of this film in Canada that Kareena broke the news of her affair with Saif Ali Khan. Poor Shahid had little option but to cry on Vidya's shoulders. Of course, it's been almost a year since and everybody seems to have moved on in life. Besides Vidya, Shahid also has the likes of Sania Mirza to brighten his life. Anyway, to come back to the event, one would have only expected a little more professionalism from Shahid and Vidya.
