Thora Thora Pyaar - Love Aaj Kal

I had no intention of posting anything anywhere today but then my sister forced me to watch this song.

I think Saif has given fabulous expressions. And naturally I couldn't help throwing the question to Z as to where are such men now. To which she replied: Dead :P

Anyhow, I really liked Love Aaj Kal. These days people really attach no significance to feelings anymore & they rightly depicted the picture. It was so easy for Saif & Deepika to let go of each other.

Saif Khan’s discovery goes topless

South African model cum actress Ann Lee Roberts goes topless but this hasn’t been done to promote Agent Vinod. Maybe Ann herself is desperate cause Saif has openly said that he wouldn’t do anything cheesy for publicity.

This pic has been circulating but I don’t know if this is another internet sensation.

Ann Lee Roberts is a pretty woman, so one doesn’t understand as to why this drastic measure was taken just before the release of movie.

Race Hai Saanson ki – Race

Oh yeah I want you to work it for me like this :P

What a sexy song! Amazing lyrics! But I don't like the video as such. They could have done it far better. In the entire movie, Saif looked cool but God knows what happened to him in this song.

But the song takes you in another world. I love it when he says: fidaa tuj pay dil mera.

In fact every line has weight. For instance, show me what you got, show me when I'm here. Wow! You can try it out some day. This is indeed a priceless tip :P

It's very tough on me to choose my favourite lines. I think the entire song is superb. Every line has some meaning that touches one's soul. Since I always choose one stanza or some lines, so I will choose this today:

'Faslon say milay, ab yeh mumkin nahin
Zindagani meri, kuch teray bin nahin

I also like it when she says nasha nashila nashila hai! And how could I forget the main stanza...it's really mind-blowing: 'Allah duhai hai, betabi chaayi hai, muskil judai hai, haan teray pyaar mein.'

Kal Ho Na Ho

Very deep, meaningful song!

I like the stanza in which priceless tip is given to idiots:

Chaahay jo tumhay pooray dil say
Milta hai woh mushkil say
Aisa jo koi kahin hai
Bas vahi sabse hasin hai
Us haath ko haath ko tum thaam lo
Woh meherbaan kal ho na ho

And more than anything, always remember jo hai sama, kal ho na ho!

Deepika Opts Out Of Race 2

Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone has decided to opt out of Race 2, says a media report.

After shooting for four days, Deepika Padukone has opted out of Race 2. Her exit could not have been worse-timed, as it means more delays and hiccups for the Ramesh Taurani production.

This is the second high profile exit after Sonakshi Sinha walked out of the mega-cast project and was replaced by Jaqueline Fernandes.

A shocked Taurani now has the onerous task of finding a replacement, someone who can step into Deepika’s high heels opposite Saif Ali Khan.

A source close to Deepika explained that her walkout had a lot to do with the film’s ever-changing schedule.

“Deepika had issues with the dates. Moreover she was irritated by the constant change in the shooting schedule of the film.”

The makers of Race 2 starring Saif, John Abraham, Anil Kapoor, Amisha Patel and Jacqueline has had the Herculean task of juggling all the star dates. To top it all, Sanjay Dutt has just been added to the cast, adding to the list of busy actors.

“In a bid to accommodate all their dates, Deepika had to sacrifice her own. And Tips expected a commitment of 60 dates from her this year. Given that she had already committed dates to Ayan Mukherji, she was in no mood to rework her schedule again,” said the source, adding, “She didn’t want to be a part of the film anymore and walked out of the film.”

Mirror has learnt that Taurani tried his best to cajole the actress into continuing with the film.

Her co-star from Love Aaj Kal and Cocktail, Saif, too tried his best to convince her to stay on. But to no avail.

According to unconfirmed reports, she was also not happy sharing screen space with Jaqueline Fernandes.

But then that is another story. Despite repeated calls and text messages, both Deepika and Ramesh Taurani remained unavailable for comments.

Kaisi Paheli Zindagani - Parineeta

Kaisi Yeh Paheli Zindagani from Parineeta is one of the sexiest songs of recent times that I can watch and listen to any given day. I love the lyrics, the music and the video to the fullest.

Rekha couldn't have done it any better than this. She is not a young woman but she was phenomenal here. In fact, compared to her other guest entries (like Om Shanti Om's various artists song in which she looked like an old witch) I love her expressions in this song...brilliant! The young girl too looks silly and excited in a cute way just apt for the occasion as was shown in the film. She was visiting Moulan Rouge for the first time.

Although, it is a remake of "A Kiss To Build A Dream On" by Louis Armstrong, it is entertaining to the core. I don't mind just re-makes.

Saif-Kareena Relationship On The Rocks

Time has come that the famous Saifeena - Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are finding it difficult to maintain a balance in their relationship after four years. As per an insider, Saif is upset with Kareena for various reasons and the couple has been fighting a lot currently.

The obvious reason why their relationship is shaking is Kareena's way too busy schedule as she is working in too many projects that she cannot take out time for boyfriend dearest. Her date diary is completely booked as she is working in films like Ra.One opposite Shahrukh Khan, Bodyguard with Salman Khan and an untitled film with Aamir Khan. Not only movies, Bebo is equally busy working in television commercials as she is the brand ambassador for quite a few products.

Saif, on the other hand is going through a rough time personally and professionally. There are too many delays in his home production Agent Vinod, which has upset him immensely. He is also going through a financial crunch and has cut down budget for the film according to sources. It is rumored that he was also unhappy to spend money on the Kareena's family for their vacations.

According to some reports, Kareena brown down while talking to Saif on the phone on the sets of Bodyguard. She can see her relationship with Saif is on the rocks and she has rushed off to London to spend time with him where he is already shooting for Agent Vinod. On the same trip she will meet up Madame Tussauds artists for details of her wax statue.

I would not comment on their relationship status but will just keep on updating this space on how they will deal with the situation.

Saif Ali Khan At Chivas Cannes Red Carpet In Trident

Aarakshan's Set Demolished By Authorities

The High Court ordered that the set of Aarakshan was an illegal structure and so it had to be demolished. The local authorities demolished Prakash Jha's set and left the schedule hanging in the air. Deepika and Saif's scheduled scenes could not be shot due to this event.

Prakash Jha Productions took the land on lease from Minal Residency Group but did not know that it was a disputed property. The shooting took place from Jan till March on the structure which included a bangalow that belongs to Amitabh Bachchan's character in the film. For the moment, there is nothing left of the structure.

Anyway, although Prakash Jha said that it is causing them a few delays and new arrangements will be made but he said those were temporary structures and everybody in Bhopal knew they were sets . They would have demolished them as it is after a month so there was need to destroy everything now.

Deepika Cannot Make Rotis

Deepika Padukone got totally embarrassed on the sets of 'Aarakshan' when director Prakash Jha and the unit were waiting to shoot the scene and Deepika stood still.

The girl had no clue what to do with the flour. She cannot make rotis. The unit had to wait for her to start the scene. She even asked Prakash to change the menu but he was adamant that roti is the requirement of the scene. Anyhow, Deepika tried several times and was unable to make round rotis.

Saif Ali Khan was with her on the sets for the scene and was totally amused to see her roti making skills. In fact, it all reminded him of the famous scene of Kaalia where Parveen Babi could not make an egg and Amitabh had to teach her. Saif could not stop grinning throughout.

Deepika said she can cook otherwise anything but roti has always been a challenge for her. She can never make perfectly round rotis. Saif tried to help her but it was not a success. Finally, Prakash Jha himself came to the rescue and taught her how to make perfectly round rotis and the scene was shot.

'I Did All The Stunts For Agent Vinod Myself' - Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan confirms that he has done all the stunts for Agent Vinod himself but he also admitted that he was extra careful to perform the daredevil action scenes with utmost safety and precaution.

He said that the movie needed intense action scenes but they made sure that apart from a few bruises and cuts he didn't end up breaking a leg or any bones as that would waste a lot of time and might lead to delaying the shoot.

I am impressed! I always like heroes who are brave enough to do their action scenes themselves. Actually, I kind of feel for the Saif. I think he is working hard for this project and I hope his movie does fine. He hasn't given a hit in a long time now though he did pick some nice projects earlier also.

Just yesterday, we were discussing when will Agent Vinod be released. We have heard so much about the film has not completed as yet. Though Kareena and Saif have not given any hit releases before but let's see how this one turns out be for the couple.

Kareena Upsets Her Family

Kareena Kapoor is obviously quite into Saif Ali Khan. She cannot miss any opportunity to be with the love of her life. However, recently she has forgotten how to balance her relationships well.

Her entire family is crossed with her priorities. This was observed when the Kapoors' inaugurated a function that was paying tribute to legendary Raj Kapoor but everybody noticed that Kareena did not grace the event with her presence.

The Kapoor family attended the function but Kareena chose to be with Saif on that day. This has really upset the Kapoor clan who have always given Raj Kapoor immense respect and love.

The fact that Kareena is ignoring her own family to be with Saif is not very pleasing for her family or that is how the media is painting the picture.

Well, whatever, Kareena does is her right obviously. She is the best person to decide and set her priorities. In these matters what can we say. Yes, the balancing act is important in any relationship. I always heard Kareena is well loved by her family so it would make sense if she would support them too on major occasions. Having said that, it is still their personal matter.

Kareena Hurt While Shooting For Agent Vinod

Kareena Kapoor has been quite badly hurt during the shoot of her next project with boy friend Saif Ali Khan. The story went like this that while shooting for Agent Vinod, in which Kareena has to perform lots of action stunts she had to emerge from a helicopter using a harness.

However, Kareena fell from the harness at some distance from the ground and ended up spraining her neck.

Though, she got hurt but Kareena said she is really enjoying doing these action stunts quite a lot as she never really did something like this before.

Aamir Khan Prefers To Go On A Different Road Unlike The Rest Of The Khans

Aamir Khan seems to go in the opposite direction every time. Now that all the other Khans are focusing on solo projects, Aamir is enjoying working in multi-starrer films.

Yes, this is true Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan and Saif Ali Khan are working hard in solo films where they are doing the one man show these days but Aamir has broken that rut and prefers working with movies that have many other stars.

He began this approach when he worked in Rang De Basanti. This was followed by 3 Idiots. And now he doesn't mind working in multi-starrer Dhoom 3 either. Well, whatever, Aamir does and whatever goes on in that brain of his, seems to be working in his favor every time. So, I guess he would not disappoint himself or his fans even now.

Though, I still feel Aamir has not really worked with actors like Amitabh Bachchan or Dilip Kumar till now. In fact he has not even worked with some of the better actors like Akshay Kumar, Shahrukh Khan or Arjun Rampal also for that matter. If he would work opposite such actors that would be even more impressive. I hardly consider people in Rang De Basanti and 3 Idiots to be a match of Aamir Khan's calibre. And a great actor like him should challenge himself for such a thing too because all the other Khans have been there, done that ages ago.

Is There Really A Marriage Taking Place?

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have been together for a long time now. Kareena has shown her interest in marriage quite openly. She even disclosed that she wants to marry him in 2012 in Koffee with Karan recently.

We are never really sure looking at Saif's flirtatious track record. He married Amrita Singh first but got divorced in 2004. He has two kids with this marriage. It is said that he was always into other girls during his marriage also. Then he had an affair with the Italian model Rosa after his divorce but he got irritated that she was pushing him for getting roles in the Hindi movies. Next, he did have the hots for Bipasha Basu, however, she never bothered much about Saif. So, he naturally settled down for Kareena who was dying to be with him after ditching Shahid.

There is an if till it all happens but Sharmila Tagore has openly mentioned that Saif and Kareena are in fact going to get married soon. They have given immense thought on settling down and Saif already talked to his mother about it. According to Sharmila ji, the couple just have to decide upon a date.

So, this is the latest news on Saif and Kareena. If they will get married, we will report it hopefully. I am just 1% more interested in their marriage news compared to the royal wedding (which is not at all important to me at least).

Shahid and Saif Rift

We all know pretty much the story of Kareena, Shahid and the rich chote nawab who is no longer that young - Saif Ali Khan. It's been a while now when Jab We Met and Omkara were released. It was that time when Kareena left Shahid and found her new love in Saif. Since then the two have been together and acting like some college lovebirds.

Shahid on the other hand took sometime to move on. He had his share of link ups but he also proved much more  through his performance and has achieved more success than ever before. It is said that now he is with Priyanka Chopra. It is also said that there is a cold rift between Shahid and Saif ever since Kareena left one for the other.

On Koffee with Karan, when Shahid was asked what will he do or say if he is stuck on an elevator with Saif Ali Khan, Shahid said that there will be no conversation. There will be some awkward silence till the doors will open. So, it  is quite obvious that Shahid doesn't care about having any buddiness with Saif Ali Khan.

Recently, Shahid Kapoor also became the brand ambassador of a toothpaste brand that was once using Saif as it's endorser. It was reported that Saif was upset with the brand's choice. 

It was reported earlier that Saif was not happy when Vishal Bhardwaj gave the interesting and experimental role of Kaminey to Shahid Kapoor, although Saif had worked with the director in Omkara. He probably expected that the director would cast him once again looking at the success of Omkara.

From the looks of it, chote nawab is like a sinking ship. Kareena is rowing along safely - in her life jacket though. But Shahid is miles ahead of Saif in almost every way.

Big B, Saif and Deepika On The Sets of Aarakshan

Okay guys so here we can see a few snaps from the shoot of Aarakshan where Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan can be spotted. These are hardly interesting pics...everybody seems quite serious at the shoot. Plus points for anybody who finds Saif in the first glance so look carefully :P that's the only fun thing here.

Oooh check out Amitabh in the picture on the wall...damn sexy!  

Look closely... 

Agent Vinod Is Now Haunting Saif

Saif Ali Khan was rarely seen doing anything fruitful on screen in 2010. He did some commercials but that was pretty much it. And the rest of his time was spent enjoying his romance with Kareena Kapoor. His relationship was all that was highlighted in 2010. 

All we know was that he and his girl friend Kareena Kapoor will be working together in a film called Agent Vinod. The name was quite shitty but Saif has always had high hopes with this film. But the hopes are shattering again as Agent Vinod is turning out to be quite a haunting dream for Saif Ali Khan because that another movie named, "Agent K" starring the very popular Indian tennis ace Leander Paes will be released much before Saif's Agent Vinod.

Leander Paes

Leander Paes, is one of the world's best doubles and  mixed doubles player and undoubtedly the most successful Indian tennis player so far. Saif may not say much but deep down he would be troubled because there is heavy competition around in 2011. Shahrukh is all set with big films this year since he had a quiet year too in 2010 while Salman and Aamir are also playing their cards quite well. On the other hand, Saif can't do much about Agent Vinod, as industry sources say that the movie will not complete anytime before 3 months.

Kareena Kapoor & Saif Ali Khan

It is quite possible that Agent K does not do well because Leander is not an actor and Saif is a good actor. But from the looks of it all, it seems Saif is pretty much losing the grip on things with Agent Vinod. Another important thing to note is that this was his third venture with Kareena Kapoor that seems to be jinxed.  Tashan  was a flop, Kurbaan was another flop and Agent Vinod is already becoming a haunting dream.

It might just sound quite a superstitious thought but till the time Kareena was with Shahid, the couple never gave a hit film together. The moment Kareena left Shahid, they were able to give a superhit in the form of Jab We Met. And ever since, she met Saif all his ventures are going down. It's just a thought though.

Saif-Kareena celebrate his dad's birthday

Kareena Kapoor is truly already a part of Saif Ali Khan's family. The couple were holidaying in Switzerland but flew into Mumbai for just a day so that they could be part of the celebrations for Saif dad Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's 70th birthday.

The couple flew over 20 hours to be in the city for the party that was planned by Saif's mum Sharmila and then flew back to Switzerland for their holiday.

The party saw a special audiovisual presentation put together by Sharmila Tagore for her hubby, chronicling his life in cricket and with quotes from his friends and family members.

Saif and Bebo also ordered a three-tiered cake for the party.

All in all, it was a family celebration, with Kareena seemingly already part of the Pataudi clan.

Saif-Kareena starrer ‘Agent Vinod’ to make debut in Latvia

The team of ‘Agent Vinod’ is busy preparing for the Mumbai schedule after completing a grueling 2 month shoot in Latvia. Ironically this spy thriller, starring Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, is the first Indian film to be shot in the beautiful country situated in Eastern Europe.

Says director Sriram Raghavan, “The landscape in Latvia is exceptionally breathtaking. We shot in many different locations across the different cities. We got access to some heritage structures, like old ruins, churches and museums. We tried to cover as much variety as the landscape offers.”

In spite of capturing some breath taking shots the shoot at Latvia didn’t come easy to the cast and crew of ‘Agent Vinod’ who met with various obstacles en-route - one being the language barrier which turned out to be quite a challenge.

"It was very difficult to understand their language since not many Latvians speak English. But we had a great team of locals who helped us communicate. They ensured we had a smooth schedule and a great stay,” adds Sriram Raghavan.

‘Agent Vinod’ - the coming of age action film is soon to begin shooting in Mumbai after having shot in Moscow, Morocco, Paris and Latvia.
