Now this came as a surprise to many as each of these three girls is currently on the list of favourites for Salman. The man has already done two films with Asin in the form of 'London Dreams' (flop) and 'Ready' (historic opening). With Sonakshi he has delivered a blockbuster in 'Dabangg' and would also be doing 'Kick'. As for Zarine, though his 'Veer' didn't quite tick, he has promised to do another film with her soon.

"Naturally there have been speculations around rivalry between the three girls," says an industry observer, "However the fact is that such stories are being spread only within the industry circles by the rumour mongers. Between the three of them, there is no ill feel at all. In fact they exchange notes around their films and are also lavish in their compliments."

This was evident a few weeks back when Asin and Zarine congratulated each other when their respective tracks from 'Ready' - "Character Dheela" and "Dhinka Chika" - turned into huge hits. Then on Friday, Sonakshi was quite lavish in praising Asin for her performance in 'Ready' while also stating that she had loved the film. With such bonding, guess the industry diktat of cat fights has been pretty much thrown out of the window by the new breed of girls.

"Exactly, gone are the days when girls indulged in ugly cat fights or bitchy remarks," quips Asin who has successfully managed to stay away from any controversy whatsoever since she was seen first in a Hindi film with 'Ghajini' (2007), "Yes, there is competition but in a healthy way. Everyone is busy and realises that only insecure people carry negative energy with them. Thankfully none of us girls think that that. I guess now you would have to think of new headlines and stories for filling up your gossip pages."

Never say never Asin, we will still manage to find something interesting while doing that. You stay tuned!
