Kareena has not made me a Size Zero: Amrita Arora

Gaunt with the wind ? That seems to be the magic mantra for all the wannabe Size 0s of Bollywood these days.

The latest slim-as-a-reed candidate is the petite Amrita Arora who like her best friend, Kareena Kapoor seems to have lost a lot of weight.

Says Amrita, “Yeah, Kareena is my best friend. And like all best friends she’s a positive influence on me. She introduced me to power yoga and that changed me life and my physicality.”

Amrita insists she hasn’t lost weight drastically. “It’s only my face. Like Kareena’s, it’s naturally chubby face. I hate it when she and now I are called anorexic. What a terrible description. We both love our meals yaar.

Trust me, Kareena eats heartily, and so do I. I’m doing nothing out of the way. I still go to the gym only once a day and I’m not starving myself.

It’s just that for the first time in my life I’ve lost weight on my face. So has Kareena.”

As for Size 0, Amrita sighs, “I’m Size 6-8. O seems a distant dream and I don’t even want to get there, please. When people talk about me being anorexic and a Size 0 I feel bad. That’s not the kind of influence I want to be on audiences. “

Amrita is happy doing an assortment of films including Gol Maal Returns where her best friend Kareena also stars.

“I’m opposite Arshad Warsi and we all live as part of one family in the plot and we all make one another happy. Now how much more positive can the influence get?”

Sly Stallone Turns To Bollywood

Hollywood superstar of the ‘Rambo’ fame will be soon seen on the Indian silver screen in Sajid Nadiadwala’s next flick. The actor has been roped by the film maker for his next flick, ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ which also stars Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor. Sylvester Stallone will play himself in the movie.
Exited to see Indian action hero with the one from America??

Shahrukh got Kareena confused to take revenge from Saif

This time the hottest of the Bollywood couples faced the wit and humor of Sharukh and his gang. Yes, this time it was the turn of Kareena and Saif Ali Khan who was quizzed by SRK and brigade at gradually heating up reality show Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hai as to prove one more intelligent than a fifth class student.

This time at the show, it was the King Khan who was challenged by Saif as a host but very soon Shahrukh got things under control as he confused Kareena a bit with his a number of questions.

The reality show that is picking up has a lot to offer people of all age groups. And above all the questions raised by fifth standards students have made many professionals and experts to sweat.

Everyone is raving over Bebo’s bikini

Bebo’s super hot look in Tashan is bringing her super accolades.

Everyone’s been trying to copy Kareena’s cool look in Tashan, just like it happened with Jab We Met earlier and of course, her never forgotten style icon appearance in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham.

She wowed everyone as Poo and now she’s wowing everyone all over again as Pooja in Tashan. Her red hot look has caught the eye of the industry and endorsement wallahs alike and designer Aki Narula the man behind the magic is hounded by clients asking him to give them ‘ the Bebo look.’

Everyone’s raving about her va va voom hot bikini shot. Almost Hollywood straight out of James Bond film, Bebo positively scorched the scene in her bikini shot.

She can play the hottie and the girl next door effectively as proved by her in Tashan. And obviously Ms Kapoor’s very thrilled with the response. And she’s all fulsome praise for Aki.. Nirula the designer, not to be confused with her co star Akki!

“Words fall short to praise the kind of talent Aki has. He is one of the most talented designers we have.

He is just fantastic and what he has done for me in this movie is commendable he just changed my entire look; it is something that has never been seen before.

I think the whole idea of keeping it very grunge and rugged for me has really worked because I don’t think an Indian actress has really done that on screen before..

We have all worked together as a team to give me a unique look.. I particularly love Pooja’s signature outfit – A white shirt with nice jeans and boots. I think I live in that always and that’s my style mantra!”

No wonder Bebo’s our favourite style icon!

Rubbish! I have not starved myself

Kareena Kapoor’s next release is Yashraj Films’ Tashan this week. “We’ve all worked really hard on the film. Let’s hope it works. After Jab We Met another hit wouldn’t hurt.”

After Omkara Kareena is looking forward to another film with Saif after Omkara and Tashan.

“We’re doing Renzil d’Silva’s film together. But it’s very important to keep the personal and professional apart,” she says with a new-found wisdom. “Both Saif and I need to concentrate on our individial careers. No marriage for me for the next five years.”

She also cuts down any speculation regarding her sister Karisma’s comeback. “Where she will work? All her attention is taken up in looking after her daughter Samaira.

My niece is the apple of everyone’s eyes at home…Come to think of it, the letter ’s’ has always been important in my life,” she laughs, referring not just to her niece Samaira but also to Shahid and Saif.

Saif was recently in Bangkok shooting an ad with Priyanka Chopra.

Kareena who’s known to be possessive about her loved ones was blissfully at peace with herself.

“I’ve never been more comfortable in my space. And when I read stories about me I can’t recognize myself,” Kareena sighs.

It hard for us to recognize the new ultra-svelte Kareena. Post-Jab We Met she has lost so much weight there is a ceaseless spurt of speculative stories about her weight-loss.

“People are saying I want to be like Victoria Beckham. I think the talk started when Saif got himself tattooed with my name. David had done the same for Victoria.

So…But honestly, I’m proud of my sculpted body. It’s a look that I needed for my new film Tashan. But I haven’t starved myself to look the way I’m looking these days. Why should I want to be like anyone else?

I’ve done nothing drastic to myself. I do yoga religiously. And I’m eating like any healthy girl, thank you.”

She faints with amusement at anorexic stories about her. “It was written that I fainted on the sets because I’ve become weak. Utter rubbish! Kuch bhi likh dete hain. Have these people seen me in person?

I look no different from the way I looked earlier.I guess I’m just happy in life, and that shows. I haven’t lost weight. I’ve just toned my physique, and that too for a role. “

If Kareena is glowing, it isn’t just love. “I’ve right now entered the best phase of my career. Jab We Met has for sure been a turning point.”

Her desire to pair with Aamir is fulfilled. “It was a dream to work with Aamir. We recently came close to working together in two films (Vishal Bhardwaj’s Mr Mehta And Mrs Singh and Mani Rathnam’s Lajjo).

It’s finally happening. As for Rensil’s film it’s a stunning script. I’m doing something in it I’ve never done before”

Goodbye Kareena, Enter Priyanka!!!

Shelving plans of making a bio-pic on the life of the Bollywood stunt queen Fearless Nadia, Vishal Bhardwaj has now embarked on another more contemporary cinematic journey.

After making a pain-lashed Shakespearean love story with Ajay Devgan and Kareena Kapoor, he has now moved on to Kareena’s ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor and her arch -rival Priyanka Chopra for a full-on feel-good love story.

However contrary to reports Vishal’s film is NOT a new version of Romeo & Juliet.

“People would love to see me complete my Shakespearean trilogy after Macbeth (Maqbool) and Hamlet (Omkara). But I’m not doing Romeo & Juliet,” says Vishal.

While Shahid is confirmed, Priyanka currently shooting in Miami for Tarun Mansukhani’s Dostana is still in talks. She is expected to give her nod when she returns to Mumbai in May.

For the boyish Shahid the shortage of leading ladies after Kareena’s departure acquires an interesting twist with co-stars as varied as Vidya Balan, Jiah Khan and now Priyanka Chopra coming up besides him in the

Kareena’s cute little fan

Well if Shahid has a beautiful little girl as his special fan then Kareena has gone a step ahead by making the hottest little handsome in town as her fan.

The little fan we are talking about here is Darsheel Saffary aka Ishaan Awasthi of Taare Zameen Par.

The young lad is a huge fan of Bebo and is dying to meet her at any of the award functions.

Young Darsheel when quizzed about his favorite actress said, ” It’s Kareena Kapoor and I am looking forward to meeting her at any of the award functions that are coming up.”

Kareena are you listening?

Shahid Kapoor falls in love again

Shahid Kapoor no longer remembers his stick-thin ex-girlfriend Kareena Kapoor because he has a cute, chubby little girl in his life now named Radhika.

Now don’t rattle your brain folks ‘coz Radhika is a one year old baby and Shahid’s co-star in Ken Ghosh untitled flick

A laughing Ken said, “Yes, Radhika is the new babe in Shahid’s life. She has a small role in the film and from the day they met they couldn’t keep their hands off each other. It was instant chemistry! Forget Vidya, Sania and Amrita Rao, Shahid had eyes for no one else but Radhika!”

Shahid who has a younger teenage brother has always loved kids but Radhika seems to be special for him. Radhika and Shahid share a great rapo and whenever they get free from the shooting they spend time with each other laughing, playing and chatting in gobbledygook. The pretty young baby is so smitten by handsome Shahid that the moment she sees him she stops crying and stars laughing.

Looks like Shahid’s fatherly instincts are beginning to show at the age of 27. Would we be seeing Shahid with his very own Radhika anytime soon? Well it’s for you to guess.

Kareena’s bikinis buzz a false rumor?

There was lot of buzz about Kareena’s famous bikini shot for her upcoming movie Tashan. But the actress has denied donning the bikini for Tashan. Yashraj has cunningly used the hype caused around these alleged bikini shots for the publicity of Tashan.

A close friend of Kareena said, “Kareena’s successful film Jab We Met gave a boost to her career. She has managed to get that girl next-door image. That role and film has not only given her several best actress awards but has also made her the highest paid actress in Bollywood. Apparently Kareena is apprehensive about her bikini scene which may kill her new found girl next door image.”

When Bebo was asked about her upcoming bikini scene in Tashan, she denied doing any bikini shoot and said there is no bikini scene in Tashan.

But Bebo, your skimpy dresses in Tashan are almost equal to a bikini.

Bikini or no bikini ki faraq paenda hai?

I’m not wearing any Bikini: Bebo

Though Kareena Kapoor is looking scorching hot in Tashan, you won’t able to catch her her in bikini as reported earlier by many tabloids.

Says a souce from Yash Raj, “No doubt Kareena will look hot in shorts too. The running promos have already proved that Kareena in her new make over is looking stunning.”

In her recent interview, Kareena too remarked on her bikini scene that she is not wearing any sexy attire in ‘Tashan’ and it is just a rumor. Though she agreed that her role is extremely glamorous as it was a requirement of her character.

She also added that her look will be a new trend for onscreen glam divas. So was that hyped scene another Yashraj promotional strategy?

It seems so as Tashan is cashing big time on Kareena’s bikini scene which may or may not be there in the film.
