Amrita Rao kicks Rani out of her home

Recently Amrita hired the services of a new maid, Rani who apparently was a crazy fan. Amrita already has two maids, a spot boy, a personal assistant and a driver at her ready disposal but hired the services of an additional maid for her mother who requires help frequently with the household work as the other employees are busy tending to Amrita's needs.

This maid apparently was an avid follower of hers from Rajasthan who had come via the reference of a neighboring building's resident. She used to intently watch each and every move of Amrita's whilst she was at home which caused a lot of unrest to Amrita as her mother's needs seemed to be sidelined. Infact once Amrita's family member caught her looking into Amrita's personal wardrobe and trying on few of her garments when no one was at home. At one instance Amrita who really loses her cool was seen getting angry but her heart melted when the maid began crying and stating how poor she was.

Bachchan Bahu Ash seems to be having bad experiences with her past. The more the actress wants to forget, the more she runs into it! First she bumped into Salman Khan on December 17; and then she ended up sitting next to Vivek Oberoi for the Mumbai police event, 'Jashn 2010- Dhamaka Bollywood Ka', at the Andheri Sports Complex on Saturday. Understandably, Vivek was shocked to see the seating arrangement. At first he flatly refused to enter the function after coming to know that his seat was next to Aishwarya. However he finally agreed after the organizers did their best to convince him.

According to sources, there was space only for one person to sit between the exes. At first it was Asin who was occupying the seat; but had to leave for her performance just as Vivek entered. Realising that Vivek was only a seat away, Ash was clearly uncomfortable and soon got fidgety. To help matters, designer Manish Malhotra came and sat between the two to ease the tension. After a while Vivek sensed that there was trouble and got up and left. Both Vivek and Ash remained unavailable for comment.
