The couple in love Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor doesn’t seem to leave a single opportunity to be together. This time they were seen at the special screening of Bachna Ae Haseeno at Fame. Other celebs were Tushar Kapoor, Masumi, Sonu Sood, Shilpa Saklani, Booby Darling, Gaurav Kapoor with girlfriend Narayani.
In a strategic move, hi-profile celebrities and real life lovers Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan will be performing for their first solo show in Sharjah. The deal marks Kareena and Saif's venture into doing shows apart from the films and endorsements together.
Bringing Kareena and Saif together for live performance was the brainwave of Morani brothers who are going to script and direct Jashan 2008 to be held at the Sharjah Stadium in Dubai.
"Kareena has a huge fan following in Dubai. So has Saif! When the Moranis approached them to come together for a show, the first of its kind, both, Kareena and Saif were thrilled! They agreed instantly," said a source.
The only other star to join the duo for the show will be Minnisha Lamba.
The three stars will make solo entries. Besides the solo acts, Kareena and Saif will be performing together too.
Kareena said, "I am very excited because this is for the first time that Saif and I will be performing together on stage."
The news on the air that the bollywood hot couple Saif Ali Khan and his lovely girlfriend talented and sultry actress Kareena signed an advert for shampoo Head & Shoulders. Says a source, "Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are the new 'hot' couple. They've been paid a whopping amount for coming together for these two brands. They will shoot for the Head & Shoulders ad soon. Kareena is only there for a brief second in Saif's latest shampoo ad but any brand that has them both on board will eventually use them together. That's the purpose of signing hot couples together — like Jhon Abraham and Bipasha Basu, Ajay Devgan and Kajol."
“Do Kareena’s photo on your arm”, this was a man-to-man advice from Hollywood hunk Sylvester Stallone to ‘Chote Nawab’ Saif Ali Khan, who has already got Kareena’s name tattooed on his forearm.
Stallone has his wife Jennifer Flavin`s face tattooed on his arm and advised Saif to do the same, while having a heart-to-heart chat with the actor on the sets of Kareena-Akshay starrer ‘Kambakht Ishq’, in which he is doing a cameo role. Saif was visiting girlfriend Bebo on the sets and to his happy surprise, he discovered that he had a lot of things common with the Hollywood actor including tattoos.
Kareena admitted to the incident, saying that, “Saif met Stallone on the sets and got along like a house on fire. While Saif has my name on his forearm, Stallone has his wife Jennifer Flavin`s face tattooed on his arm. And the Hollywood actor told Saif to do the same with my photo on his arm.”
But Kareena felt that this was going too far and staunchly opposed the idea. “I told Saif, `No way`. It`s very painful and it`s enough he has my name on his forearm.”
Kareena laughed off the rumours about Saif being upset over Sylvester-Kareena kiss. She said it was ‘just a peck on the cheek’. Talking about Stallone, Kareena added, “He is a very interesting and a sexy man. He has great body, for his age. He told me that he`s heard that I am the best actress in India so I told him to watch a DVD of Jab We Met and Omkara.”
When asked whether Bebo would like to have her Saifu’s tattoo on her arm, she steered clear of the ‘tattoo’ business and said, “Saif is against tattoos on women. Even I think women shouldn`t. They should be pure and clean.” Smart move to ward off unnecessary pain, Bebo!
One keeps talking about actor Saif Ali Khan and the fact that he had his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor's name tattooed on his arm. Saif seems to have set off a trend and the latest to go his way is none other than Deepika Padukone.
If reports are to believed, then the actress has reportedly got her boyfriend, Ranbir Kapoor's name tattooed on the nape of her neck. She has not gone with the full name like Saif but makes do with the initials RK. Naturally because of where it is placed, the actress cannot actually flaunt it, but by now, all know about it.
Not that Deepika and Ranbir are shy about their relationship. They are quite open about it. Deepika has even said in an interview that she would love to do a solo romantic film with her boyfriend. She was speaking about her upcoming film, Bachnna Ae Haseeno, where Ranbir is paired opposite three heroines, one of which is her, the other two are Bipasha Basu and Minissha Lamba.
Sometime back, Bipasha and John broke into tussle over Bips kissing football soccer, Ronaldo. It seems like that history is repeating itself . On the sets of Kambakth Ishq when excited Kareena kissed Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone in presence of beau Saif Ali Khan. Bebo’s expression of excitement has made Saif make a long face.
It is not yet been confirmed whether Kareena kissed Sylvester out of excitement or the script demanded so. Whatever be the reason, Saiffu dear is not happy with his sweet heart’s activity. Saif monitored the scene very minutely and later took Kareena aside and questioned her regarding the issue. Kareena too replied him harshly and he walked out in an angry mood.
But for how long the lovebirds can remain away from each other? By the end of the day, they were spotted hand in hand and seemed whispering in each other’s ear at the dinner table.
King Khan has left no stone unturned in promoting his show KYA AAP PAANCHVI PAAS SE TEZ HAIN. Either through music album or through other celebs.
Recently the hot and happening couple of Bollywood Saif-Kareena shot for KYA AAP PAANCHVI PAAS SE TEZ HAIN. It is heard that the star couple will appear in the show and whatever amount they win will be donated for a charity of their choice. The date of telecast is not yet finalized.
Earlier also Kareena had featured in SRK hosted 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' along with Priyanka Chopra. While Saif had featured in Big B hosted KBC with bubbly Preity Zinta.
Let's wait and watch if the couple is smarter than a 5th grader.

Bebo’s known for her straightforward attitude. Just as she made no bones about in letting the world know about her link-up and a subsequent break-up with Shahid four years on, this sexy diva has been equally public about her relationship with beau Saif Ali Khan.
And while the news of this couple’s clandestine marriage had already created a furore, Bebo’s finally out with the big news. “Oh, all that was just a 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.” All right, so any plans of tying the knot soon? “Yes, that’s going to be very soon. Initially, we had thought of giving our relationship some time before we got 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.”
Uhhh...While we are still gasping for breath at this break of this news, she continues, “And that’s the reason Tashan will always be close to my heart. It was on the sets of Tashan that we came closer and that was when 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.”
But ask her would it be right to marry while at the peak of her career, “Why not? I didn’t say I’d stop working after marriage. 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.”
Kareena Kapoor’s present beau Saif Ali Khan and former flame Shahid Kapoor will be together in The Unforgettables tour of the Bachchans (Amitabh, Abhishek and Aishwarya). The series of concerts by Wizcraft will unfold in July-August across US and Europe.
After Akshay Kumar, who earlier opted out, rejoined the tour the Bachchans roped in the two stars to join in.
Says a source close to the Bachchans, “Saif and Shahid showed no hesitation in joining the Bachchans on tour. The price being offered was fine and the dates for the venues where they’ll perform were worked out to their convenience. The Kareena Kapoor angle was not part of the discussions.”
The tour has been undergoing one change after another. Earlier, it was scheduled for 2007. “Abhishek and Aishwarya were busy with their marriage and their careers. We had to take it to 2008,” explains the Big B.
While every show will be different, the Bachchans will be a constant at every concert performing to their own numbers as well the specially-composed songs by Vishal-Shekhar. But the one item that is inescapable is Kajra Re.”Do you think we can get away from that one?” laughs Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
Riteish Deshmukh and Bipasha Basu are also part of the tour announced during the IIFA awards in Yorkshire last year.
It is reliably learnt that Madhuri Dixit will also be part of The Unforgettables stage shows. Says a source close to the Bachchans, “For Madhuri, it’d be the easiest thing in the world for her to join the concerts in the US as she is based there.”
Saif speak….straight from the heart.
Why are you frowning so much in public these days?
Am I? If you're talking about the promos of Thoda Pyar Thoda Magic that's a frowning role.
Is it because of the prying eyes?
No. One should get comfortable with the public attention. I'll make an effort to look happier. I am happy. I've so much to look forward to. I'm doing so well professionally. I've a great personal life. I guess I'm just a frowning guy.I must stop that.
You're moody, that's all.
I guess I am. I can't help it.
You're leaving to shoot for your first home production?
Yes, I leave for London now. It's a love story and I'm proud to be producing it. It's very original, a little too original.
You mean it's bold?
Bold and beautiful. We shoot in London, San Francisco and Delhi. My partner Dinesh Vijan chose the locations.
You do want to spend as much time with Kareena as possible?
Obviously. Look, she's shooting in Australia and I had two months off. So obviously I'd go to visit her.Or if she's doing an event in Andheri and I can join her, I will. I know people will talk about it. I don't care.
Every relationship goes through a period of consolidation. We've been together for nine months. We both know how much we mean to each other.
Broken by the failure of Tashan?
Not at all. I liked the script. The role didn't end up the way I thought it would. It was edited quite a lot. As Aditya Chopra explained to me it was for the betterment of the film. But yeah, it was a disappointment. I won't pretend about that.
Race was a hit. But it was a terrible film.
Who cares what you think about it ? (laughs uproariously). It ran, and I was frowning throughout. A super-hit, that's nice. I enjoyed the wheel-dealer plot.
But James Hadley Chase came and went 20 years ago.
He's still a cool dude. I stand by Race. I stand by Tashan too. The director Victor, Akshay, Kareena and I shared a vision. It went wrong. The role was edited. Adi and I spoke about it. He said it was for the betterment of the narration.
Were you convinced?
Well….it has taken me a long time to get to the position of the main lead. And the man responsible for this in many ways is Adi Chopra who gave me Hum Tum and Salaam Namaste. I've always trusted Adi's judgement.
But Akshay Kumar had all the punchy dialogues.
You win some lose you lose some. I knew he had a stronger part. Our roles turned out different from what it was expected to. I really believed in the idea, and we all stood by it. Now let's see. It was great fun making the film and something really positive came out of it.
What's that?
I met Kareena during Tashan.That's enough for me.
You seem to be inaccessible to a lot of producers who want to sign you.
When I started out producers didn't understand the way I worked, and vice versa. A regular filmy set-up wasn't suited to me, not because of any snobbery but because I'm not at good improviser.
I needed my script and lines so I could work on them. For so long I was comfortable in my kind of world …you know, Dil Chahta Hai, Hum Tum…. I was a little wary of the more old-school directors.
I decided to venture out and try a cinema I thought I wouldn't be comfortable with. I worked with Abbas-Mastan. Today I'm open to working with anyone.
But you are still very picky?
Yes. Because no matter how many films you do you can't have more than 3-4 releases a year. So why do any more?
Why did you opt out of Farhan Akhtar's Voice From The Sky?
The dates and the finances weren't making sense. It's a great story. It's really sad that it didn't work out.
We are talking about Kareena Kapoor, who performed as the Goddess of Bollywood, at the IIFA awards in Bangkok. And of course also bagged the best actress award for her power house performance in Jab We Met.
The actress has bagged the maximum number of awards this year for Jab We Met and of course, she is obviously excited about the superb reactions to her live performance that showed her making a grand entrance on a huge lotus and her Best Actress Award..
Kareena performed on three main songs apart from Dil hara and Chaliya from Tashan. "My act ended with Mauja hi mauja from Jab We Met, " says Kareena smiling.
Kareena adds, "Manish designed some very colourful outfits. The entire act, I was told, came across as very sexy and glamorous."
Praising Manish, Kareena says, "He has worked very hard on my costumes. He sat with the organizers, Wizcraft, and meticulously worked a theme and costume for every song."
Kareena also credits Shiamak Davar for her creative act. "Shiamak, who has created the act has come up with a different colour and for every theme", exclaims Bebo.
Kareena has no regrets about Tashan bombing at the box-office. She says, "My performance has been appreciated.
In fact my look and style has started a trend of sorts and I am happy about that." And how does she feel about being the best actress of this year? "On top of the world, " beams Bebo.
Meanwhile doomsayers have been busy writing and rewriting the obituary her romance with Chhote nawab who has been breathing down her neck for quite some time.
Something similar happened at IIFA too, when Saif flew down from London to spend a few hours with Kareena and to see her perform on stage at the IIFA weekend. But alongside love there was jhagda as well. Tabloids are splashed with stories of how Saif had a fight with Kareena over her revealing dress at the event and how he cut short his visit and left back for London in a huff.
But another version of the story says the tiff was not over Kareena’s dress but over Kareena’s insistence on Saif to stay back longer. Kareena was apparently enjoying her stint at IIFA and wanted to share more time with Saif, who unfortunately had to return to London.
Whatever the reason for tiff, the jhagda was soon over and Bebo was spotted walking with Saif to the car and giving him a loving hug before he left for airport.

Shahid Kapoor is so over Kareena. Reams are being written about the potential girls who can fill the void in Shahid's life. So who is the new girl... Amrita, Sania Mirza or Vidya Balan?
Sorry to disappoint you, but none of the above. Instead, we saw him with Rozza Katallano, Saif Ali Khan's ex- girlfriend, at a coffee shop of a suburban five-star where the two were engaged in a deep conversation.
This is not the first time that Shahid was spotted spending time with the Italian model Rozza. It may be recalled that Shahid had chosen to ignore the rumours of Bebo's closeness with Saif, but later, Rozza was the one who confirmed that it was indeed true.
Consequently, Shahid and Rozza became very good friends and have been constantly in touch with each other.
Ask Shahid if he is ready to mingle again and he tells, "Yes, I’m also hearing all these stories about me. Sometime, I’m caught watching movie with Amrita or having coffee with someone. I think, I will have to get a girl friend very soon."
So is he ready to fall in love again? "Absolutely," he gushes and adds, "It’s a lovely feeling to be loved cared by someone. I’m sure something will happen soon, I can sense it. I will find love again.
After her split with Saif, Rozza has been frequently seen in the party circuit, she was also linked with Vivek Oberoi. According to sources close to Rozza she is now staying with a friend in Andheri and hunting for an apartment.
They both look good here and i dont notice the huge age difference. thanks to the makeup done by mickey contractor
They were in Goa.
In the year 2006 when Shahid and Kareena were still dating, we saw them on the ramp walk for Manish malhotra.
Flash forward, year 2009, here we are Kareena walks the ramp for Manish malhotra with her boyfriend Saif ali khan, albeit the same pose.
