Kareena-Priyanka make up time

MUMBAI: Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra may not be the best of friends, but they have certain common interests.

The latest bone of contention between PC and Bebo is a make up artiste, Pompy. Pompy is a soft-spoken, wheat complexioned, lean Punjabi who is a magician with the powder puff and brush.

And both girls have worked with him from time to time for their commercials and films. Now both PC and Bebo are addicted to him; and the first thing they do when they sign a film, is to ensure that their respective secretaries calls up Pompy and makes sure his schedules match theirs.

A Bollywood source says, “When PC learnt that she had to go for Anjaana Anjaani to Bangkok with Ranbir Kapoor in November, her secretary tried his level best to get Pompy’s dates to match. Unfortunately the make up whiz was committed to accompany Bebo to Sydney where she is shooting with Kajol and Arjun Rampal for the Bollywood version of Stepmom.

It is also said that Bebo now thinks of Pompy as extended family and even invites Pompy for previews. Not so long ago, cousins Rani Mukherji and Kajol would both insist on Mickey Contractor doing their face.

And on the sets of Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Mickey did oblige. So guess if PC and Bebo do another Aitraaz, they will not have an objection to Pompy doing both their attractive faces.
