Kareena Kapoor

The Kareena-Shahid relationship went kaput years ago but that hasn’t stopped people from linking the two, even when it’s unnecessary.

Therefore, reports suggest there has been a growing feeling among family and well-wishers of Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor that their names keep recurring in connection with Shahid Kapur much too often for it to be a mere coincidence.

The couple, shooting a gruelling song sequence in New York , has now begun to wonder why their names, especially Kareena’s, should figure so prominently in write-ups and television stories on Shahid.

Could the fact that his next release is around the corner have something to do with it?

A close friend of Saif-Kareena said, “Kareena has been quietly watching the tamaasha unfold. Lately, almost every time Shahid’s name cropped up she too was mentioned, and not in a positive manner. To portray her as the restless woman who jilted Shahid for Saif is so unfair. Only Kareena and Shahid know what really happened to tear them apart. The day Kareena opens her mouth, Shahid’s image of injured innocence will collapse in a heap. But Kareena is not one to wash dirty linen in public. She wishes Shahid well and would like nothing better than for both of them to move on. Kareena has moved on but the same cannot be said about Shahid.”

The strangest part, according to the couple’s friend, is the aggressive attitude the usually calm and restrained Shahid has towards Saif. The source said, “Recent reports on Shahid insinuate that he has done better in Vishal Bhardwaj’s Kaminey than Saif did in the director’s Omkara. Where do these comparisons come from?”

Commenting on whether there is a pattern to these recurring references to Saif and Kareena in connection with Shahid, Saif said, “Normally, I wouldn’t go by any conspiracy theory. But this does seem a little too much. Why are Kareena and I dragged into other people’s lives? If someone talks about Kaminey, then I’m forced to say the role was first offered to me. But do we have to resort to this silly game of one-upmanship? We’re all mature adults here and we should behave accordingly.”

Kareena, who has so far maintained a discreet silence on the topic of Shahid’s constant fascination with anything to do with her, was aghast when a television channel on Wednesday night did a detailed hour-long ‘report’ on how Kareena was trying to get Shahid’s current love Priyanka Chopra out of his life. Barely able to control her annoyance any longer, Kareena said, “Why am I being dragged into all this? I don’t like my name to come up in connection with other people’s lives. I’ve moved on and I wish Shahid Kapur would also do so. Beyond that I don’t wish to say anything. Nothing can separate Saif and me. Certainly not these silly attempts to drag me back to a past I’ve left behind. Please leave us alone.”

Kareena Kapoor best known for her attitude and sexy appearance in movies has decided to go for a complete image makeover!

Kareena who has wore a black swimsuit in Sajid Nadiadwala’s forthcoming Kambhakt Ishq has firmly decided to dress in dignified manner now onwards.

So how come such a sudden makeover Bebo?

“Kareena feels very comfortable with Saif’s parents. She has never felt more a part of any family outside her own. Although Saif’s mother Sharmila too wore a bikini for a magazine cover in her heyday, she completely revamped her wardrobe and bohemian attitude once the Nawab of Pataudi came into her life. Kareena now sees the legacy of the Khan bahu being passed on to her. She will not do anything that’ll compromise her status in Saif’s life.” said a friend of the actress.

Bebo came to this decision after giving a promise to loving mother Babita that she wouldn’t do any more bikini scenes. There might be one more reason why Kareena took such a decision that since when she is engaged with Saif Ali Khan, she has been tagged as next Khan bahu.

Interestingly Kareena shares a good rapport with Saif’s parents may not want to spoil her relation with such an act. Ready to be the next Khan bahu (maybe!), Kareena might be feeling the new family responsibility on her shoulders.

And as there is news about her swimsuit scenes in Kambhakt Ishq, Kareena denies it and says, “Maine bikini kahaan pehna hai? In logon ne chalu kar diya ‘bikinibikini’. I will never wear a bikini.”

Kareena has been spotted wearing sari instead of western outfits at many events. “Enough of those gowns. Why can’t we actresses dress Indian?” says Kareena.

Way to go Kareena! Do we see a start of a new trend in Bollywood?
