If there really is open hate from Alia's side towards Shraddha because of Ranbir indeed having slept with Shraddha, then I can understand Vasan not tagging her...and if this is known in the filmfraternity, I also can relate to some ignoring her. Otherwise it makes no sense to attribute it to Alia, imo.
It is interesting that she is only seen with Varun after the release...maybe there had been a discord. Or it really has to do with the nepotism debate (which I would find ridiculous).
But whatever, Shraddha still benefits from getting ousted.

damn and we already know about pankaj...any doubt him. this isn't a female oriented movie or anything. Shraddha could have done lots even with that 20 to 30 min role, see how in 3 idiots begum aced in 20 min role. but nah, shraddha maha floppy when it comes to acting, actually its good, they given her 20 min. i would have ran flags if the heroine of hte movie has been given more footage than the male , this win would have been an epic rub to the khans and kumars sethi and animals. 

you too even went for shradha yeh parh ke
