Kareena not getting married soon: Karisma Kapoor

New Delhi, Aug 9: Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor Tuesday denied reports that her younger sister Kareena is set to tie the knot with beau Saif Ali Khan towards the end of 2012

"Kareena is not getting married anytime soon," Karisma said here.

Rumour mills have been abuzz with information that the couple - 'Saifeena' - is ready to settle down, and that their nuptials would happen at a palace in Bhopal in royal style. 

A report also said that Kareena's wedding trousseau would be designed by Ritu Kumar

But Karisma's denial proves otherwise.

The charismatic 37-year-old was here to promote skincare product Olay Total Effects, which she feels is the reason behind her "ageless beauty".

"When I started using this product in 2007, it was a life-changing experience. I strongly believe that if you look good, you feel good, and that's just what happened with me," said Karisma, who will be seen on the big screen once again soon.

The actress, who has done films like "Dil To Pagal Hai", "Biwi No.1" "Raja Hindustani", and "Zubeidaa", was last seen in "Mere Jeevan Saathi" which released in 2006. 

She has now teamed up with model-turned-actor Rajneesh Duggal for Vikram Bhatt's film titled "Dangerous Ishq".

"I can't speak much about the film but yes, I am doing it because I think the time was right," said the actress, who looked stunning even in a simple black top and a pair of dark blue jeans.

Not Katrina or Karisma, it's Kareena's voiceover in 'Bodyguard'!

New Delhi, Aug 4: Unlike most films where male actors with a baritone lend their voice for some special scenes, Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has given the voiceover for a crucial emotional scene in "Bodyguard".

If the grapevine is to be believed, her elder sister Karisma Kapoor and actress Katrina Kaif were also in the running to do the voiceover.

According to a source from the sets, Kareena, the leading lady of the Salman Khan-starrer had suggested that Karisma's voice should be used for the sequence. Someone else from the production team suggested that Katrina, who has already shot an item number for the film with Salman, should give the voiceover for the scene. However, it was eventually decided that Kareena would do the voiceover herself.

On the other hand, producer Atul Agnihotri says Kareena's voice was always the first choice for the scene.

"I don't know from where is the news doing the rounds. Kareena will always be my first choice to lend her voice for this crucial scene. After all 'Bodyguard' is her film and she is our leading lady in the movie," said Agnihotri.

"Bodyguard", a remake of an eponymous Malayalam film, is a romantic action project. Releasing Aug 31, it is directed by Siddique.

Shah Rukh, Priyanka, Kareena set to rock Eid event in Dubai

Dubai, August 2 : Bollywood king Shahrukh Khan along with Indian musicians Hariharan, Shankar Mahadevan and actresses Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor are all set to perform at an Eid event in Dubai.

American rapper 50 Cent and Lebanese singer Nancy Ajram will enthral music buffs at the event as well.


The show that will also feature a host of Arab, Iranian, Indian and Filipino performers, will be held on the sidelines of a consumer fair called Shoppiesta, and continue for five days at Meydan from August 3 with every night featuring two concerts.


According to organizers, apart from the concert, there will be shopping stalls, adventure sports arcades and a host of other entertainment and lifestyle attractions as well.


“We’re aiming for the masses. The majority of the tickets are going to be very well priced, starting at Dh40 for the concert and Dh5 for entry to the fair,” Gulf News quoted Krishna Ramanathan, the managing director of Citron, which owns Shoppiesta, as saying.


“This is not an elitist event. The event will feature all the things Dubai does best, from adventure sports, shopping and leisure activities during the five-day public holiday period all under one roof and all at very affordable prices,” Ramanathan added.

Karan Johar plans Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham sequel...

A sequel to the 2001 blockbuster starring Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan is in the pipeline, confirms Karan Johar

Ten years after its release the multistarrer blockbuster Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham, finally gears up for a sequel.

Though Amitabh Bachchan had been blogging about the possibility of a venture that takes the travails of the Raichand family forward, for some time now, director and producer Karan Johar confirmed to Mumbai Mirror that he would indeed like to recreate the magic of K3G, soon.

Admitting to the fact that K3G 2 is indeed in the pipeline, Karan said, "It's a workable idea. I am no longer averse to it. It would be a bold step if I make it."

Also, the fact that the six key cast members of the film - Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor are all gung-ho about the sequel makes the project a certainty.

"It's very strange. But all the six main members of the cast are as dear to me now as they were 10 years ago when I made the film. I'm sure they're as charged about the sequel as I am," said Karan, who had already revealed his plans about the sequel to the concerned members of the cast.

In fact, the seed of the idea for a sequel was planted by one of them.

"At first, when his friends suggested a sequel, KJo just laughed it off saying that it was financially impractical to attempt something so big in this day and age.

However, Big B made him realise that a sequel was not only possible but also desirable. Mr Bachchan also said that only Karan could pull it off," informed a source.

Talking about the sequel, Big B even revealed on his blog, "It would be a story on the growth of the brothers and the problems that arise because of their independent understanding and working of the business empire of the father, a split within them and so on..."

The recent success of sequels added to Karan's conviction. With the Golmaal, Dhamaal and Murder franchises doing better than most first time films this year, the idea for a multistarrer sequel gained ground.

With Dostana 2 failing to take off, a sequel to the Raichand family saga might be what Dharma Productions needs to join the trend.

Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham in 2001 was nominated across fifteen categories at the Filmfare Awards.

It won five, making this one of the 'tallest family films' by Dharma Productions. And if all goes well, we may soon be seeing the Raichands repeat their success on screen, ten years after they first made an appearance.

Bebo’s Hot New Avtar in Ra.One

Kareena Kapoor‘s hot new look from her upcoming movie has been revealed. Bebo did manage to lose 5 kilos much to her and her dietician Rujuta‘s delight, after strict diet regime of 21 days.

Kareena is playing Mummy to eight-year old son of Shahrukh.

SRK‘s look in Ra.One was much talked-about. Kareena did herself to get a sexy look.

Kareena asked her dietician Rujuta Diwekar to prepare a special diet for her so that she could lose few kilos for a particular song called ‘Chhammak Chhallo‘.

It was quite a challenge for both Kareena and Rujuta to get the desired results as Bebo was shuttling between Las Vegas (where was shooting with Imran Khan for Short Term Shaadi) and Mumbai. However Rujuta ended up preparing 3 different diets for her – one for her stay in Mumbai, one for her stay in Vegas and believe it or not… even a diet to be followed while in flight.
