This week’s blind item is a little hard to crack. Rajeev Masand gave us something spicy this week, but not that much spicy, just a little childish. Read on to see whether you can guess who Rajeev is actually referring to. We have our guesses, which we will list below, and if you have yours that’s different from ours, please share it.

What’s this about a popular female star having upset the country’s heartthrob actor during rehearsals for an awards ceremony recently? The buzz about this particular incident was deafening backstage of an awards show last weekend. Apparently, when she showed up at the venue to rehearse the dance medley she was slated to perform at the event later the same evening, she discovered she was slotted to rehearse after the young male star who’d shown up on time and was dutifully waiting his turn. Unwilling to wait until he finished his rehearsal, the leading lady reportedly used her good offices to advance her turn, upsetting the actor.
He made his displeasure clear to the organisers of the show, who politely mumbled an apology and urged him to rehearse right after the actress. The well-mannered star kid kept his cool, retired to his make-up van, and returned to rehearse only after the actress had left.
Still upset about the day’s events, and further incensed because news of the incident had spread among his peers backstage, the actor allegedly plotted his comeback. According to eyewitnesses, after the awards show was over, the stars were required to re-perform their acts strictly for the cameras. This time the A-lister is believed to have taken forever to complete his performance, repeatedly muddling his steps and requesting another chance. The actress, who was waiting to re-perform her act, got the message loud and clear.
