Need your dose of goss on everyone from Rani to Rajni? This is where you get the stories right from the bedrooms of the stars
Is Saif playing it safe?
If you have it, you flaunt it. Well, I am not talking about the overdose of six-pack abs which most of the Bollywood actors are obsessed with. Here, I am talking about ‘love’. Needless to say most of the stars believe in talking about their love lives, or being written about.
While most of the actors would agree with me that since 2000, the face of Bollywood aka Hindi Film Industry has undergone a massive change. At the same time, relationships in Bollywood have taken a different tangent. Break-ups and split stories are dished out everyday like cookies by the tabloids and we (the journalists) add fuel to the fire.
Take Saif Ali Khan for example. Since the time the actor has admitted that he is dating Kareena Kapoor media has not left him in peace. The paparazzi has certainly killed the charm of a star romance, which prevailed during the era of Dharam-Hema and Amitabh-Rekha. The 'right on your face' culture has not only mottled the charisma of the stars but has made it boring to a large extent. Every detail of their life is exhibited on public domain, be it print or electronic media; they have been feeding us with minute-by-minute detail about the K couple (Khan and Kapoor).
When Saif decided to have a tattoo on his hand celebrating his love for Kareena, everyone went berserk. "This man has an attitude!" said people who thought it was very cool to flaunt the name of your ladylove on your armr. Some said, "Considering that Saif is extremely impulsive, he might just land up having several such tattoos all over his body." Gee!
Frankly speaking, I think Saif Ali Khan is going overboard with his new-found love Kareena. While the lady is happy with Saif, the actor walks hand in hand with Bebo darling at all social dos. But, I must admit that Shahid Kapur was intelligent enough not to call a press conference a la Vivek Oberoi style, and maintained his dignified silence.
Take Vivek for instance, he is a talented actor but due to some 'miss'-guidance he became the 'touch him not' actor in the industry. Even newcomer Deepika Padukone is gladly posing with Yuvraj Singh's mother and indulging media about her ongoing affair. Not just that, when the Big Brother frenzy frizzled out, Shilpa Shetty decided to speak about her love life Raj Kundra. It seems love is all about ‘calculating and taking the right steps at right time’.
Whenever I looked at Shahid and Kareena, I always felt that they made a nice couple. Shahid was not the kind of guy who liked to go to parties; he had his own ideologies intact. Kareena loved the simple guy who had every potential to become the next Shah Rukh Khan or Hrithik Roshan in this industry.
Kareena still admits that Shahid has been a positive influence in her life. I remember how Kareena stood beside him when Shahid had back-to-back flops. Now that he is a successful star, Kareena has moved on in her life. But, what went wrong between the two is a bigger mystery than any Hitchcock thriller. No doubt Saif looks charming (even with his lil' paunch) with Kareena in the promo of Race. But we wonder what would be the fate of Saif-Kareena love story? Even if we let go the age factor (Saif must be 15 years elder than Kareena), can we ignore the compatibility of these stars? In last four years he has had two girlfriends. He has also made it very clear that whomever he dates, the person needs to love his kids too. Now, Kareena is seen mollycoddling Ebrahim and Sara, just like Rosa did couple of months ago.
There has been a strong buzz that Saif would marry Kareena by the end of this year. Recently Midday splashed the photograph of Kareena flaunting the rock, which Saif gifted her. But at the same time Kareena mentioned in one of her recent interviews that she doesn't see herself married in the next five years. So where does this relationship stand? Relationship is just like a journey; it needs to cover a certain area of life and has to have moments, which are worth remembrance. Marriage is certainly one of the important factors in such a relationship, but then, as Merlyn Monroe would say, "Not all love stories end at the altar." True.

I personally think kareena is a weirdo. And saif is old. But thats my opinion. Shahid deserves the best. And apparently kareena isnt the best for him. Hes doing alot better without her. So i think this is going good for pretty much everyone.
Well i only want to add kareena is complete looser.....I thnk she will soon realize....Saif is not one women man...! All know this....
shhid rocksssss
All things happen for a reason, this too. Shahid will come out wiser and stronger then ever before. He is still the only next superstar that can knock of king khan of his throne. As for saif and kareena, who knows where this will lead and on what foundation this relationship is made off. Age factor i dont think is the big issue. Only time will tell!
i take my hat of on how shahid has handled this whole situation in public, its not easy in private never mind in public.
Hi,
i m do agree with the above guys.Kareena is also my favourite.
but i dunno what she is doing with the man far elder than her.....
kareena now u hav lost a great companion,a dashing star........Shahid.....
I completely agree. Saif is going overboard, the tattoo a la david beckham style is horrendously ridiculous. Only difference is that beckham was like 100 years younger than saif when he did the tattoo.
saif should be acting his age and show some maturity and dignity. It is embarrassing to watch him act like a 16 year old. It does seem like he is showing of to everyone "look at me, i have this gorgeous young girl next to me". It all seems a bit too much, i would say 'grow up saif'! Don't embarrass yourself and the rest of us.
its a joy to see shahid maintain such dignity about the whole thing, kudos to him. He surely did not deserve this kind of over the top public display of affection by kareena-saif. Hope shahid does very well in his career and can leave all this behind us, we are all there supporting you shahid! So, go for it.
Kareena is an amazing actress and witty too! Saif is just passing his time away wid kareena.If he was serious anytime he would have had married rosa earlier and not move on from girlfriends to girlfriends!I think saif's only attitude is ''use n throw''!
It is better that shahid kapur found out about kareena and what she is really about now - he deserves better and hopefully he'll find the woman for him. You don't see many guys as dignified as him (esp. Given his young age, that is very admirable).
saif and kareena deserve each other - it appears to be a very superficial relationship. Each seems to be feeding their ego through the relationship. As a fellow female, i have no clue as to why any girl would enter such a relationship w/ a divorcee w/ children who has a different girlfriend every other day...I know i wouldn't put myself in this position. He seems shady- almost raw and abrasive - he doesn't really give off the well-mannered/well-cultured vibe....And neither does she. Not exactly the "creme of the crop" as far as kids of bollywood star children go, eh? Maybe that's the common denominator that brings them together...
Kashtam !!!!!!!
Just leave these people alone
Why they split up is a mystery to all of us, and no one can change what has happened. But what i don't like is atleast kareena has a great circle of friends and family (now an a-list star boyfriend like saif) to keep her company and give her support. Now with the success of jab we met all the big banners are running after her. But shahid is a reclusive and mature man who unfortunately doesn't have the adequate support from his friends or family. If only his family politics and papparazzi would leave him alone. I also agree that saif has gone over board with the whole tattoo thing and over expressing his 'love' for bebo. I love saif and kareena, but both of them together is just very wrong. Saif sets a very bad example for his children
