Kareena & Saif will marry after 25 April

Kareena: I can't wait to marry Saif

It seems like Bebo and Chhote Nawab, who made their relationship public last year, can't wait to any longer to get together and their wedding could take place after the release of Tashan on April 25.

“Yes, I am going to get married very soon. Initially, Saif and I thought of giving our relationship some time before we get married. But now I don’t think either of us can wait any longer. So may be, post the release of Tashan this month, you all can see us wedded,” she told the press.

Bebo also refuted the rumours of their secret marriage saying, "Geeting married secretly was just a silly rumour. Why would I hide if I had gotten married? That would be the day for me. Only I know how I’m looking forward to it.”

Incidentally, it was on the sets of Tashan that the two fell in love. To prove his prove Saif even got her name tattooed on his arm.

"It's true, we came closer on sets of Tashan and that's the reason it will always be close to my heart. It was during this time that, Saif took me out for a candlelit dinner and proposed to me. By then I was too much in love with him to have said no,” told Kareena.

So will she continue working in films or take a long sabbatical like her contemporaries?

"Why would I stop working after marriage," she asks. "Today I’ve already reached the Rs 3.5 crore package and I hope to work and earn more in the coming years. In fact I already have some big projects in hand which are slated to release by the year-end."

Saif, Madhuri part of the Bachchan concert

Saif, Madhuri part of the Bachchan concert



The "Unforgettable" concerts in July that will see the Bachchan clan of Bollywood perform live across Europe and United States have new glamour quotient.

Saif Ali Khan, Shahid Kapoor and Madhuri Dixit (Nene) will join Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai at different venues across Britain and the US, a source close to the family said.

Riteish Deshmukh, Bipasha Basu and Akshay Kumar are also part of the entourage.

"Saif and Shahid showed absolutely no hesitation in joining the Bachchans on their tour. The price being offered was fine and the dates for venues where they'll perform also worked out to their convenience. As for Madhuri, it would be the easiest thing in the world to join the Bachchans for the concerts in the US because that's where she lives," the source said.

Lara Dutta had opted out of the concert earlier. "There's much more to

Saif Ali Khan refuses 30 crore offer!

Saif Ali Khan refuses 30 crore offer!

Post, Race, Saif Ali Khan's career is racing ahead and is on a roll, but besides that, what was more bizarre was when he recently refused a lucrative, whopping 30 crore deal offered to him by a leading corporate houses.

"Just after the release of Race, a leading corporate house approached him with a 30 crore deal, but to their surprise, he turned down the offer saying, he's not interested in money right now and what he's looking for is good work. Money can and never will come in the way of his good work. He has never run after money and after the super duper success of Race (the biggest opening after Om Shanti Om) in recent time, he knows, big offers will keep pouring in, but he's extremely cautious about the kind of work he should take up," says a friend of the actor.

And when we asked Saif for his comments, he admitted that he turned down the offer as he doesn't want to take up more work. And he has always believed in doing 2 or 3 films in a year. "I have been taken seriously now and they say I'm salable actor, I choose to believe this. I'm serious enough to be signed with lots of money and interesting performances, that's all what I want. I will continue to do films at my pace and that's why I have got into production. The objective is to make commercial, highly entertaining and challenging movies," he says.

Saif climbs the ladder

The industry always spoke of the three Khans when it spoke of star power -- Shah Rukh, Aamir and Salman. Then Hrithik Roshan made it to the premium list and also Akshay Kumar. These five actors called the shots, commanded the best fee, while their films fetched incredible prices. Post RACE, Saif Ali Khan has joined the club.

Saif's talent was acknowledged long back; the actor has delivered sparkling performances in films like KAL HO NAA HO, EK HASINA THI, HUM TUM, SALAAM | NAMASTE, BEING CYRUS, OMKARA and EKLAVYA. But RACE has consolidated and cemented his status as a star with tremendous pull.

Although Saif is yet to penetrate into deeper pockets like SRK or Akshay, Saif is a certified crowd puller at bigger centres and at multiplexes specifically. Also, he has worked his way up in the Overseas territory. RACE, his new release, is his second biggest opener in several international markets, after KAL HO NAA HO [this writer has the international data to substantiate the statement]. Way to go!

"I’ve pretty much confirmed for Farhan Akhtar’s next movie Voices from the Sky ,” reveals Saif Ali Khan. “It will be a pretty international kind of film with a great subject,” Saif added. When we asked Farhan for confirming this breaking news, he said, “Yes we will be working together on the film. It starts in September.” Voices from the Sky is a film close to Akhtar’s heart with an unusual storyline. As for Saif, he is eagerly looking forward to slick-flick Race which is touted to be the first big hit of 2008.

“Race is about insurance fraud, murder, adultery, deceit, inside a trading gambling, lies and racing…pretty much a normal day in Abbas Mustan’s life,” Saif said, sounding confident of hitting the bull’s eye with this pacy thriller. With powerful dialogues wowing everyone in the promos, can we look forward to claps-n-whistles in theatres in the days to come? “One of the reasons of working with Abbas bhai Mustan bhai is to do a commercial front bencher kind of movie. We’ve done lots of multiplex kind of movies, with NRI kind of characters. It’ll be nice to see something that hopefully will be appreciated across the border in India also,” Saif said.

He recently shot for a music video Sexy Lady for Race in Goa along with hot babe Katrina Kaif. “It’s my favourite song in the film. I enjoyed dancing to it and I’m looking forward to it,” Saif said.

Khan vs Khan at Filmfare Awards

Khan vs Khan at Filmfare Awards




Welcome to the 53rd Fair One Filmfare Awards. They are being brought into your living room tonight courtesy Sony Entertainment Television, 8 pm, Black Lady, red carpet and all.

With Shah Rukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan playing masters of ceremony and chief pranksters, the lovely Vidya Balan a valiant foil to their masti. It’s a Khan vs Khan show as SRK matches wit and audacity with rockstar Saif in gags that will have you cracking up with their bawdy irreverence to Bollywood.

What didn’t the Bollywood Badshah and Chhote Nawab do! They ran a spoof on debutant award winner Ranbir Kapoor’s towel dropping act from Saawariya , holding onto their own towels, thankfully. And another one saw them, well, rip co-host Vidya Balan of the bizarre costumes she wore in Heyy Babby. Celina Jaitley, they did not spare for her makeup. In this delightful manner, the duo kept the show alive, fresh and moving, making sure even their hapless victims seated below enjoyed a chuckle at their own expense.

The event, held at the Yash Raj Studios on February 23, was as fine a tribute to the world of Hindi cinema as it was a platform for the industry’s talented top stars to show what high energy they are capable of when unleashed outside of a camera. In the audience, there were black tie and velvet gown moments of suspense before the award envelopes were opened.

On stage, there was dhoom and dhamaka provided by Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, Deepika Padukone, Vivek Oberoi and Neil Nitin Mukesh.And then there was drama, too, as in when Rishi Kapoor accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award from his first co-star, Dimple Kapadia, and shared the honour with wife Neetu Singh.

In the midst of their tears and laughter, Rishi was overheard calling up his mother Krishna Kapoor who could not make it to the function. Tonight’s telecast of the 53rd Fair One Filmfare Awards is for Mrs Kapoor and others like her who could not be at Yash Raj to witness the spectacular show unfold live on stage.

Take your seat at 8 pm and watch the stars as they accept their awards.

Love and work go together….

Love and work go together….


Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor would be seen together in Karan Johar’s next film. His untitled film will be directed by writer of Rang De Basanti, Renzil D’souza, and is all set to go on floors by the end of the year.

Initially Kareena was offered the role of Preity Zinta in Kal Ho Na Ho by KJO. But due to certain differences with Karan she refused to work. However, recently they patched up in public and Kareena agreed to work with him. There were talks of Kareena working in Tarun Mansukhani’s film but things did not work out as the film also had Abhishek Bachchan.

Now, Kareena would be finally seen working with Karan along with her beau Saif in the lead. The shooting will begin in October and would be shot entirely in London.

Saif is the ‘driving force’

Saif is the ‘driving force’




We know how Saif loves playing driver driver, (we mean chauffeur) to Kareena Kapoor. He drops her and fetches her from all events, parties ect etc. And is always her at her beck And call whenever she calls for him.

Call it joru ka ghulam or pyar, whatever it may be suitable. At the award function, too, he was heard instructing his driver: Meri gaadi, Kareena, Akshay, Shah Rukh ki gaadi, sab Gate no. 1 pe chahiye.

Abhi! Looks like there were dinner plans in the offing. And Saif was the ‘driver’.of the plan, we mean! It was another thing that Saifoo lingered on post the award ceremony to bond with Karisma and her hubby Sanjay Kapur.

Saif, Ranbir team up for Siddharth Anand

Saif, Ranbir team up for Siddharth Anand


The grapevine is abuzz with the speculation that Saif Ali Khan and Ranbir Kapoor will enact stellar roles in Sajid Nadiadwala's next film, to be directed by Siddharth Raj Anand, currently directing Yash Raj's Ranbir Kapoor starrer.

“The casting will follow once I am through with the script. I haven't completed writing yet. Even actors don't sign projects till they have a bound script on hand,” Siddharth said. Is it a two-hero film? “Yes, it is and we plan to start in October/November this year,” he states, adding in the same breath, “Earlier, there were rumours that Salman and Saif were roped for the project, now it's Saif and Ranbir… the speculation continues. We're still finalising.”

Meanwhile, Siddharth has deleted the Katrina track from the Yash Raj project that he's making currently. “The film was getting very lengthy, so we decided to do away with the track. Hence, Katrina's not a part of the film any longer,” he states. The as yet untitled film now stars Ranbir, Bipasha, Deepika and Minnisha.

Saif-Kareena: Lock kiya jaaye

Saif-Kareena: Lock kiya jaaye

Hindustan Times



Wish Saif Ali Khan was a little classy. He was anything but sophisticated on Friday night.

A spy gal informs that Kareena Kapoor toodled off mid-dinner to the rest room to powder her pretty nose.

Bebo was in the mirror section of the ladies’ restroom when in crashed Saif and locked the door.

We've even been given minor details of the odd episode: Saif lit up a cigarette inside (mum Sharmilaji’s in town, you know) and puffed and puffed and puffed. Ramadoss sir where are you?

Anyway, the rest room’s door wouldn’t open even when other guests tapped, kicked at and knocked hard on the door. A voice emanated, in the best nasal twang after Himesh Reshammiya , “Hinnnnnh, I’mmmn in hennnnre.. I’m Sainf.”

A piece of advice to Saif - Please be more discreet. Nnno..n?

Kareena Kapoor may star with beau Saif and brother Ranbir

Kareena Kapoor may star with beau Saif and brother Ranbir

Kareena Kapoor has quite a number of big banner films on her hand right now and her film career seems to be going in the right direction. Meanwhile her love life too with Saif seems to be going great. Saif and Kareena will soon be seen together on-screen in Yash Raj film, Tashan. Saif has also been contemplating working with girlfriend Kareena again in one of his home productions but nothing has been finalised yet. But sources claim that Saif and Kareena may once again come together for a Sajid Nadiadwala film and this time, Kareena's cousin brother, Ranbir Kapoor may also star in the film.

Kareena already has signed a three film contract with Sajid Nadiadwala and hence she is likely to be in the film. The film will be directed by Siddharth Anand after he wraps up his final film with the Yash Raj banner. Siddharth has already worked with Saif in Salaam Namaste and Ta Ra Rum Pum; hence he hopes to work with him again. Apart from that Siddharth and Ranbir are childhood friends and he has already got approval from him. So it seems like Kareena, Saif and Ranbir may star in a Siddharth Anand directed film. Currently Siddharth is busy shooting a final film with Deepika and Ranbir for the Yash Raj banner.

However producer Sajid Nadiadwala is not willing to divulge all right now and says "I only have Siddharth on for the project as of now. Any news about me meeting any actors is out of the question." Sajid claims that the star cast for the film has still not yet been finalised. So will Kareena, Saif and Ranbir be seen together in a film? Well it will definitely be an interesting trio and a treat for the audiences to watch these three talented actors together on-screen. Earlier on Kareena and Ranbir along with their families were not on talking terms. But it seems that recently the families have patched up and Kareena was even seen attending the star studded premier of cousin Ranbir's debut film Sawariyaa.

Saif still in touch with Rosa

Saif still in touch with Rosa


How loyal is Saif towards Kareena? Yes, this has become a million dollar question today after it is reported that Saif is still in touch with his ex girlfriend Rosa even though he is deeply involved with Kareena Kapoor. On Rosa’s birthday, Saif kept her calling frequently as if he felt sorry for not being with her on this special day and so he tried to give his company on phone.

Rosa spent her birthday attending public events and later on she went to a restaurant at Bandra to treat her friends. A person close to Rosa informed that during her birthday she was flooded with calls from Saif. She laughed and giggled while chatting. Their every conversation extended to about 10 minutes and it was a light-hearted talk. Rosa seemed quite happy and thrilled to get calls from Saif. Even when she was having dinner, she was busy attending his calls and entertained him at best.

The entire picture seems to be quite hazy. It is still unclear how serious Saif is for Kareena even after inking her name on his arm. Whether, Kareena is one among his ex girlfriends with whom he just move around for time pass and discard them when he is bored? Let’s wait and watch.
