Bebo is Idiot

Kareena Kapoor, the sizzling hot babe of bollywood, has replaced Kajol from Raj Kumar Hirani’s upcoming flick ‘Idiots’ which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel Five Point Someone.

The ace director has already narrated the script to Bebo and she is very much excited about it and trying to figure out the dates for the film from her busy schedule.

Earlier, Raj Kumar Hirani had approached Kajol for Bebo’s role but the gutsy actress made fun of the ace director by messaging Shah Rukh about the credibility of Hirani’s direction. Though the message was private and not meant for the public but it got leaked through Ajay Devgan. Raj Kumar Hirani was furious about the whole thing and decided to replace Kajol from his film.

It was at that point that he decided to approach and finalize the gorgeous Bebo for the project. Kareena Kapoor grabbed this opportunity with both hands as she had seen Hirani’s Munnabhai films and was very impressed with his directorial acumen.

If everything goes well, Bebo will have the chance of working with Aamir Khan for the first time in this Hirani’s film. Earlier, she had signed Mani Rathnam’s film ‘Lajjo’ with Aamir Khan but things did not work out between the producer and the director, which led to stalemate and ultimately the film got shelved.

In any case, Bebo has had a very good year till now. She has already bagged Sajid Nadiadwala’s ‘Kambakht Ishq’ and another big budget film with TV 18. The shooting for Yash Raj Film’s ‘Tashan’ has already been completed and expected to be a big box office release success this year. Kareena is paired opposite her new beau Saif in this movie and their working chemistry is expected to be terrific.

However this Hirani’s film, which is based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel, deals with the life in the campuses of prestigious Indian Institutes of Technology as lived by the students. It tries to depict the various aspects like ecstasy, frustration, helplessness of a group of friends in the elite institution. Besides, Kareena and Aamir, Hirani is also reported to have approached Shah Rukh, Saif and John Abraham for different roles in the film.

Nervous Director of JODHA AKBAR

Ashutosh Gowariker presented the promos of “jodha Akbar” and even as the nervous director looked on, it was clear that the film is a wineer. The attention given to detailing is commendable. If God lies in the details, the place right nex to him can be taken by Hrithik. The Roshan comes shining through in a period film where predecessors like SRK have failed. Remember ‘Asoka’ which was best forgotten.

Kareena Secretly Married

Kareena Kapoor, the sizzling hot sexy siren of bollywood, secretly married chote nawab of bollywood Saif Ali Khan at his new Bandra house, LaView Patni, in the presence of a maulvi on Wednesday.

The celebrated couple of bollywood solemnized the marriage by exchanging rings in a quite ceremony without inviting many people from their friend circle or family. The ceremony was kept a well guarded secret and took place around 12.30pm at Saif Ali Khan’s new pad which is yet to be decorated and occupied.

Sources close to the couple say that Saif Ali Khan gifted a BMW car on the occasion to his ladylove Kareena, but they are not likely to shift to their new house LaView Patni any time soon, as the interior is still being done. Saif Ali has bought the top two floors of the building and Kareena Kapoor frequently visits the place to supervise the interior work being done there under the charge of a confidante of Saif Ali Khan. Once the work is complete the couple is likely to move here.

The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor were very eager for marriage after the courtship of around four months, but had been waiting only because the seniors of Kapoor family were not willing to take the plunge so soon. In fact, Bebo’s parents wanted her to concentrate on bollywood career at a time when plum offers were coming her way, rather than going for marriage with Saif.

Perhaps that was the reason Bebo and Saif Ali Khan chose to go in for secret nikah in the presence of a maulvi rather than for a grand wedding in the presence of family and friends. In any case, this is not for the first time that Saif Ali has gone for a secret marriage with his sweetheart. His first marriage with Amrita Singh was also held secretly and it was only after sometime that the people could come to know of that.

But Amrita Singh was senior to Saif Ali Khan at the time of marriage, while Kareena Kapoor, twenty seven, is ten years younger to the actor at the time of taking the marital vows. Saif Ali Khan has two lovely children from her first marriage and Kareena has been trying to be friends with them so that there would not be any problem in this regard in future.

It may be recalled that Kareena Kapoor came close to Saif during the Ladakh spell of Yash Raj Films’ ‘Tashan’ and since then the two have been regularly spotted at the various hot spots of the town. Saif had openly admitted to their love affair for the first time at Manish Malhotra’s grand finale show at the Lakme Fashion Week. He had also cut his palm with knife to prove his love for the hot lady.

Ranbir and Sonam having differences

Ranbir and Sonam Kapoor who play star crossed lovers in ‘Saawariya’, in reality, don’t even travel in the same vehicles to the same destination. Badically they don’t enjoy sharing the same space anymore. It is quite amusing to see them following each other in their repective cars while the entourage follows separately.

Saif No way

Saif Ali Khan, the chote nawab of bollywood who is madly in love with sizzling hot Bebo, had a tiff with the actress over showing affection towards macho Salman Khan in a party held recently. Saif Ali felt so jealous of the Bebo’s friendly gesture towards Sallubhai that he did not speak with the beautiful lass for the whole of night that the party was going on. Even though Saif dropped Kareena in his car, he did not utter a single word and later did not respond to her SMSes or calls for two days.

The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that from the very beginning there was some tension between Saif Ali Khan and Kareena when they entered the birthday party of actress Amrita Arora. They kept themselves in a secluded corner and continued arguing over some point. Salman Khan was sitting across the room, but as soon as Katrina Kaif left the party around three in the morning, Bebo left Saif alone and went over to Salman Khan to greet him like an old friend. Saif Ali Khan, obviously, did not like such behavior on the part of sexy Bebo, about whom he is very possessive. He never likes her to be friendly with other male actors in a party or any other filmi function. But Bebo would have none of it and mingled freely with the male stars at the party.

However, the flash point reached when at one point of time Kareena Kapoor cupped the face of Sallubhai during her conversation at the party. Saif Ali Khan just could not digest this type of camaraderie from his beau and stopped talking to her. But Kareena continued to ignore him at the party and came back only after some time. Now, this was Saif Ali Khan’s time and he ignored her completely at the party.

It may be recalled that Saif Ali Khan had recently cut his palm with a knife to prove his love for Kareena Kapoor on the insistence of common friends in Greece where the couple was shooting for the upcoming Yash Raj Films’ ‘ Tashan’. In fact, Kareena’s friends had just teased him by saying that what was the craziest thing that he could for his lady love Bebo, and Saif cut his palm at the spur of a moment. Earlier, he had got Kareena’s name tattooed on his body to prove his love for the sexy siren of bollywood.

Abhi Kher Nahin

Abhishek Bachchan, the handsome hunk of bollywood who has a very close friendship with Sikander Kher, did not invite him for the birthday party which he celebrated in Jaipur along with other friends like Kunal Kapoor, Apoorva Lakhia, Goldie Behl etc.

Abhishek Bachchan is said to be mighty upset with the Kher boy and is trying to edge out him from the inner circle of the Bachchan clan. For the present, Abhi is keeping the unsettling thing to himself and has not told any of his friends about the real reason of the ongoing cold war.

Currently, Abhishek Bachchan is busy with the shooting of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s film ‘ Dilli 6’ in Jaipur and hence had sent messages to all his friends to come to the pink city for the party. The party was held in a farm house provided by UTV, the producer of the film, to Abhishek for the entire Jaipur spell. Even wife Aishwarya Rai, mother Jaya Bachchan and father Amitabh Bachchan attended the party in Jaipur. Amitabh had directly come from Shimla where he has been shooting for a Bengali film, while Jaya and Aishwarya came from Mumbai.

But Sikander Kher was not present as Abhi did not invite him for the party. However, sources say that this is not for the first time that Sikander Kher had been ignored by Bachchan. Earlier too, Abhi had sent messages to other friends for a party but did not send it to Siku and when Sikander called Abhi to inquire about this, he coldly informed him that he had not sent the SMS and that’s why he did not get it.

On the other hand Sikander Kher is looking at the whole episode from a different angle and feels that if some friends had gathered at Abhishek’s pad in Jaipur on the occasion, that’s none of his business as he was too busy with his work and would not have gone to Jaipur to attend the party. The source of the trouble is said to be ego clash between the two erstwhile close buddies. Perhaps, Abhi wants more respect shown to him after being successful in bollywood, while Sikander continues to treat him like his old childhood friend.

It may be recalled that during the marriage ceremony of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai, Sikander Kher was one of the close buddies taking care of guests and other formalities. He was very closely involved in the affairs of Abhishek Bachchan from the very beginning and was almost like a brother. Even Sikander’s mother Kirron Kher has been very close to Jaya Bachchan and other members of the Bachchan household and was closely involved with wedding ceremony. But now something seems to have gone terribly wrong between Abhishek and Sikander.

Jab We Met - Movie Review

Think DDLJ 2.0! Jab we met gains immensely from Shahid and Kareena’s endearing and honest performances. There are the usual leaps of imagination - the shortcuts that work brilliantly for Shahid to turn his life around, but even those gel well within an earnest screenplay conjured superbly by the director. Pritam’s music and the choreography add phenomenal spunk to the proceedings while Kareena’s family - despite their limited screen time, are far more enjoyable than the average Chopra-styled extended khandan, particularly Dara Singh! Post his excellent debut, Imtiaz Ali learns his commercial lessons and gets the formula right, big time!
