Last week Yashraj Films saw a very private very special screening of New York, by far John Abraham’s most important film to date. Tongues began wagging attributing her absence to the feud between Bypath and Katrina that erupted when they did Race together.

But this is her boyfriend’s most important film. And she won’t let her personal prejudices get in the way.”
