Shahid 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.”

Shahid Kapoor & Priyanka both are looking fabulous.

Shah Rukh Khan’s stammering ‘Ka… Ka… Kiran’ act in Darr paved the way for his success. And now, it is stammer time for B-Town folk.

Shahid Kapoor is stammering in Kaminey. Ranbir Kapoor will be doing likewise in his third outing, Rajkumar Santoshi’s Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani (APKGK).

Ranbir will be seen stammering in the romantic comedy which has Katrina Kaif and Upen Patel as his co-stars.

To make it really funny, Santoshi is making sure he incorporates a distinct look and particular mannerisms for each character.”

The source adds, “Santoshi has made Ranbir stammer as he feels that this will get him sympathy from the other characters in the movie as well as the audiences.

He essays the underdog and tries hard for everything. In time, his stammering fades out as he gets more confident.”

It is learnt that Shahid took tips from doctors and people who stammering to essay his role in Kaminey.
“But Ranbir is doing it in his own style without anyone’s help, though,” informs the source.

Anushka is on an exclusive contract with Yash Raj and this will be her second release. This is also Shahid’s second film with the YRF banner.

A source from the industry reveals, “The untitled film will be directed by actor Parmeet Sethi, and he has also penned the script, which has impressed Aditya Chopra immensely.”

Shahid Kapoor is slowly inching himself into Yash Raj camp. After the Rani starrer Hadippa, the actor has signed another film with Anushka Sharma who made a debut in last year’s the production house’s Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

It is believed that Parmeet is on a three-film deal with the banner. The actor-turned- director’s first brush with the Chopras was in Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.
