SoggyCornflakes - Bollywood

We've all kinda gotten use to Bebo-Saif's fights but this is the first time that a marital dispute has been reported between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai. Strangely enough, this fight also took place during the IIFA weekend but it took them so long to report it.

The story is that Ash is kind-of a loudmouth and this got on Abhi's nerves while he was with her. Even though he told her to calm down and speak more lowly, she ignored him and continued to squawk and squeal.

When the left the festivities and returned to their hotel, it was there that Abhishek supposedly confronted her about her need to draw attention to herself (touchy) and they hashed it out in the middle of the foyer and eventually Abhi asked security guards to escort Ash out of the building back to her room. And no one says when he returned there himself.

Oh well, I lost my bet that they would break up within a year a while ago...maybe they're in it for the long term and we can tell our kids about them as my parents talk about Amitabh and Jaya.

I know, I know, the caption has nothing to do with the story, but doesn't that add to the mystery of the blog? It doesn't? Oh well. Onwards, happy Monday all. It's not that happy for me since it's the last week of my holidays, sob, but I'll try and enjoy it anyways.

Recently, Harman Baweja was supposedly reported to have said that Kareena Kapoor is a 'robotic' and boring actress and he's glad that she dropped out of Love Story 2050, to be replaced by Priyanka Chopra. So if LS2050 is a hit, Kareena is going to cry her eyes out. Anyways, Harman says that the comments attributed to him are wrong.

"I'd never speak like that about anyone, least of all someone who's a senior and was gracious enough to work with me when I was just starting out. That she finally opted out of Love Story 2050 doesn't take away from the fact that we got along really well,"

"All I'll say is, I'd never talk like that about anyone. Kareena is someone I truly admire. And if people want to spoil my relations with her, let them try. It won't work."

Harman apparently felt so bad that while he was out on a promotional event, he took a few minutes to type a quick text to Kareena saying he was sorry and that he would never speak about her like that. Kareena, instead of raging and ranting as I would have expected, supposedly sent back a text saying that she understood how the industry works and she doesn't care what the media says.

How...boring. I revel in fighting, violence and misery.

Does it count if she influences me to hate her more?

Magazine Verve has done a feature article on the 50 most influential women in India. While it isn't a competition, just profiles on the 50 ladies, did they not have enough people to put in the list or was the writer on crack?

While I understand why women like Sonia Ghandi and Parmeshwar Godrej (she's a philanthropist, yes, I looked it up) have made it on the list, why is Kareena there? Why is Gauri Khan there? Yes, these women play a role in the entertainment industry, but it's not like they're even actors/philanthropists like Angelina or Bono. The fact that Katrina Kaif also made the list seems to be an insult to India...or is that just me?

I don't get this list. Anyways, Kareena appears on the cover of this months issue. Here's the idea for next month's feature: Most over-exposed celebrities...Kareena can appear on that cover too.

Well, we're always hearing about the downs for the Golden couple, Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor (reported by the media) and the wonderful wonderfulness of their relationship (reported by them).

Find out what was going on with the Tashan couple at IIFA here!

Shah Rukh Khan has apparently given up on getting an audience by using real people in his show 'Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass se Tez Hain' and is relying on one celebrity couple after another to bring the ratings up.

After Priyanka and Harman, Karan and Rani, the next two on his show are Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The show involving them will be telecast this Saturday.

Saif was apparently tutored by his daughter but was teased by Shah Rukh when he had trouble answering and an impromptu interview was taken with Saif and Bebo revealing where they met each other, how did they fall in love and what do they do when they fight.

Obviously it's a charity event and Saif has pledged his winnings to the Naaz organization (Delhi), which takes care of HIV positive kids, while Kareena will use the funds for the aged and lonely parents from St. Anthony's Old Age Home, Bandra. Nice causes, contributing towards the young and old.

-Yawn-

Now I'm getting fed up with these two. Even though their frequent supposed break-ups and make-ups are amusing and give me an opportunity to make fun of them, now the stories are getting boring.

Before, they were supposedly fighting it out at IIFA when Saif didn't approve of Kareena's clothes, but apparently he never had a problem with it and still thinks that the more skin his girlfriend shows, the better, so he can gloat and remind everyone that he was the one who ended up with the untalented but thin Kapoor sister.

A source reports,

“Saif actually took a twelve hour flight just to spend three hours with Kareena at this recent award function. Apparently, he had planned this as a surprise for her. Bebo was caught unawares when he landed up and she couldn't stop smiling. In fact, he came all the way just to cheer for her performance and to clap for her because she received the Best Actress for Jab We Met. He's extremely proud of her and is very supportive of her work. In fact, all this nonsense about him being upset about a revealing outfit at the awards is rubbish. Manish Malhotra who has been designing for her for a long time has done the outfit and he was very much aware of what she was wearing. And c'mon, she has worn a bikini in Tashan, so what's the big deal over an outfit?"

And Kareena herself is a bit miffed at the reports of Saif and her arguing,

"Enough is enough. Why don't people check facts before writing? These stories are absolutely ridiculous and baseless. In fact, Saif came all the way to surprise me and I've never been happier."

I think I can answer that...because it's freakin' funny to make up stories and annoy you. Simple as that. By the way, doesn't the fact that Saif came to see her win the award show that these things are rigged? Once Kareena won the prize at other shows, why would anyone go against the mould and give it to someone else?

Sorry for the so so late updates, just been crazily busy today, but yay! It's Friday, meaning that most of you have a whole two days of freedom coming up and if you're like me, you have a whole month of freedom staring you in the face...

Kareena Kapoor was recently spotted on the sets of Main aur Mrs Khanna, in which she stars with Salman Khan. Obviously now she's in Bangkok for IIFA, but Salman is still working hard on the movie, which also contains his brother Sohail.

It's being directed by Prem Soni and Kareena says that she's a bit nervous to act with Sallu again, despite the success of Kyun Ki.

Kareena says,

“Although we’ve done Priyadarshan’s Kyun Ki before, I always get nervous working with Salman. He was my sister’s hero long before we were paired together. And now to be doing a film with him…” “Our new film Main Aur Mrs Khanna is an intensely romantic film. I don’t think Salman has done a pure love story like this before. Neither have I. Sohail is also in the film.”

Others have tagged the film as a comedy and since stick-thin chicks don't get any laughs, Kareena has put on a little weight, to her credit. Not that it's hard to put on weight, all you have to do is eat tons of McDonald's and then take a nap...that's how sumo wrestlers do it.

Thanks to Appu for the tip:-)

Even though Saif Ali Khan loves the fact that he has a stick-thin girlfriend who likes skimpy clothes, he isn't OK with the fact that sister Soha Ali Khan is allowed to wear skimpy clothes as well.

Soha recently appeared on the cover (and inside) of Maxim magazine, dressed in skimpy-ish lingerie that big brother Saif did not appreciate at all. He feels that his sister should be the model of modesty and decorum and even insists that she is like that, even though she didn't look too uncomfy during the shoot. Saif is supposedly furious with the pictures of Soha...

Soha wished to drop her sweet and decent image in the industry, to be in the running for the same roles as Kareena. What is it with Bollywood actresses? The sexy-and-showing-it ones want to get decent and the decent-but-not-proud-of-it want to start flaunting...

Kareena Kapoor has issues. It's like she's not happy until she's dominating some poor guy, crushing his ego until he's a broken shell of a man and then dumps him to move on to her next victim and leaves other girls to console her leftovers (Call me, Shahid!).

Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating, she made boyfriend Saif Ali Khan give up cigarettes and hard liquor, which is a good thing obviously but how can I commend Kareena? That would be like me giving up chocolate. Ain't gonna happen.

Reports suggest that Kareena has given Saif a strict diet and is making sure he sticks to it.

Saif’s diet chart includes a huge bowl of vegetable clear soup every evening which regularly comes from the Bandra’s China Garden. Cigar is strictly a no, no factor for him but he got permission to have a glass of red wine (only French) daily from his lady. His kids are keeping a strong eye on him so that their pa won't break this rule.

Ew, vegetable soup? What torture is that? And I remember Saif saying he quit cigarettes ages ago, when he had that heart scare or something. So is this a new publicity ploy to make Bebo look good? I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Kareena Kapoor is really organised. She's already thinking wayyy ahead in time, regarding her relationship with Saif Ali Khan.

Recently, she responded to the allegations that Saif was stifling her and laughs them off, saying,

"That's so unfair, really. I'm doing five films.. he believes in doing one at a time. So, we try to grab as much time as we can get together."

"He keeps showering me with presents.. the best was a holiday in Maldives,"

And what other presents has he given her? Diamonds?

"Woh bhi diya hai.. clothes.. small trips.. but the most expensive thing that he has given me.. is his time."

This made me laugh though. When she was asked what presents she had given to Saif, she said, with a completely straight face, "Myself". Well, isn't she just delightfully confident?

When asked about their relationship and where it's going, Kareena replied that they would definitely be getting married, but in 3 years. How does she know what will have happened in 3 years? Saif could have found someone younger than her...she could have become fat...she could have found someone younger than Saif...the possibilities are endless.

Kareena isn't content talking about her own lovelife and has commented on her cousin Ranbir Kapoor's with Deepika Padukone,

"I'm so happy for them. I hope they'll be happy together. It feels so nice to have another Kapoor from my generation doing so well.

He was fantastic in Saawariya. He's here's to stay. I feel a sense of pride and belonging for him.The Kapoors and Khans are rocking the industry."

And even when talking about other people, Kareena still manages to bring herself into the conversation. You know, that's kind of a gift she has right there, the gift of humble arrogance...
