Blast from the past: The Lara-Dino Clash Over Kelly! Revenge of the Ex

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW STATES THAT FOR EVERY ACTION, THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION. ERGO, HARD-HITTING CONFESSIONS RESULT IN REPERCUSSIONS. AND THE HARSHER THE CONFESSION, THE MORE SEVERE THE RAMIFICATIONS!

Last month (and for the first time ever), Kelly Dorji opened up to ‘Stardust’ about his broken relationship with Lara Dutta and being back-stabbed by ex-best friend Dino Morea (read box on the next page). Now, there were two immediate outcomes of his outburst. One, he inadvertently confirmed Dino and Lara’s twosome status, a thing which both the stars had kept studiously mum about. And two, it brought to fore the hostilities between Kelly and Dino, which the latter had been carefully hiding. This situation came as a complete shocker to Lara and Dino, both of whom have known Kelly for the longest time.

For Dino especially, whose immediate reaction was of absolute bewilderment as he’d never expected the reticent Kelly to lash out the way he did. The actor, who had been attending practically every do about town, completely vanished from the social circuit to seek refuge from the media and the ensuing backlash. But more importantly, Kelly’s confessions created gaping cracks in the Dino-Lara relationship; to the point that there were rumours about their split. Also, Kelly had no axe to grind with Lara as according to him, she had come clean to him about her and Dino – that made things worse. And owing to this, the two still continue to be good friends even today – a fact that doesn’t go down well with Dino at all.
