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.
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).
Could Kareena Kapoor have become Imtiaz Ali's lucky star? It looks like it, since he's signed her up for his next project.
After the success of Jab We Met, Kareena is supposedly signed up for Imtiaz's next two projects, the yet untitled movie will start shooting next year and Bebo's co-star will be Akshay Kumar. Just like Kareena's and Shahid's fame shot up after JWM, Imtiaz's has as well and actors are also lining up to work with him. I guess Akki, with his own superstar status got picked this time.
No details of the story are available yet but obviously it'll be a romantic story. Too bad, I guess Kareena won't be abale to work with Saif when he produces his own movie next year.
Hey all, apologies for the lack of updates yesterday, I was dying, but now I'm not dead, so that's why I'm back to updating. It's surprising how much better you feel when you don't start hurling as soon as you sit up. Ah, lovely Joburg weather.
So for the first time in a movie and possibly for the first time in a Bollywood movie, Rani Mukherkee won't cry on screen. The actress is known for...well, every actor in Bollywood is known for sobbing their eyes out and since Rani plays an angel without emotions in her new film Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic, she won't have to put any glycerin in her eyes, or whatever they use to tear up. Do you know glycerin stings like hell?
Rani says,
“I think that was something that really made me do this film in the first place because it was my first film in which I will not be seen crying and for me that's wonderful because I have played so many characters who cry in each and every film, ”
“Kunal Kohli has saved a lot of glycerin in this film.”
So it is glycerin!
So here's one of the most recent trailers in which Saif Ali Khan's character explains the concept of tears and where they come from. I'm sure he knows well enough by now, having a girlfriend like Kareena. ;-)
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.
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?
Speaking of actresses that want to change their image, it seems like Vidya Balan is now also one of them.
While other actresses or actors change their image by dressing differently, shaping up (or down), Vidya seems to think the best way to show the world she's changed is by...scrawling on herself? The Kismat Konnection actress has already booked an appointment with a tattoo artist in Mumbai and is set to follow fellow actors like Saif Ali Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Esha Deol (As far as I know, Shah Rukh's is just temporary, since it's a big freaky green 'Mike Tyson'-like tattoo).
Vidya is supposedly getting the tattoo just above her heart but hasn't said if it will be a design, words or the special someone's name...
Hmm, is Vidya my new target for uninterrupted ridicule and humiliation? Looks like she's going to be!
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...
