When Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan were present on Karan Johar's chat show, Koffee With Karan, Kareena mentioned how Switzerland is one of her favorite holiday spots and that it's almost like "home" for her.
It just so happens that Saif, as a surprise for Kareena, is planning to take her out to Switzerland for a New Year bonanza.
In fact, this trip might turn out to be a special family reunion for both the stars. There are chances that Saif's parents, Tiger Pataundi and Sharmila Tagore, might present themselves to the couple so they can welcome the coming year together. Also possibly stopping by will be Kareena's mother Babita and sister Karishma Kapoor, along with her two kids Samaira and Kian.

Kareena Kapoor's a jet setting star, though, a jet ski into the kool blue waters of Goa is something she'd not bargained for.
For a crucial scene in 'Golmaal 3,' director Rohit Shetty wanted Bebo jet skiing in the Goa beach waters. However, KK would have none of it, as she was confessedly petrified of being in the sea all by herself on a jet ski, an act she'd never attempted before.
Director Shetty assuaged her fears, and told her to get acclimatised to the sport, before she could attempt it onscreen. With the help of an instructor, and then largely on her own, Bebo was able to jet ski safely into the beach's aquamarine waters.
What's better, she delivered a perfect 'take' for 'G3'… and did a few more to obviate any trouble due to technical hassles. Guess, Shetty's showering more praise now…
For the forthcoming five months, Kareena Kapoor is gonna give the proverbial bee a mighty complex. Reportedly, Bebo doesn't have a single night or day free for the mentioned time span!
KK will practically be living out of suitcases and globe trotting to complete filming assignments and endorsement commercials.
Bebo, though, has set aside important breaks despite the frantic pace of work. And she's doled out info guardedly about them in a tabloid chat.
August 16 ("it's Saif's 40th birthday; I'll be shooting for SRK's 'Ra.One' and will take his permission before I whisk Saif off for a holiday") and September 21 (Bebo's 30th b'day; Junior Nawab and she will be filming in Prague).
October to December 14 will have KK filming 'Heroine' for Madhur Bhandarkar, and thereafter from December 15 to Jan 11, 2011, Bebo will zoom off to her "Swiss chalet."
"What's the point in working so hard, if I can't get four vacations in a year?" KK asks. "In a different world capital,every year." Way to enjoyyyyyyyyyyyy, Bebo…
Saifeena's loyalty is inspiring a fresh horde of admirers. Brand loyalty, that is. Recently, Saif Ali Khan, who endorses a top brand of potato chips, was all gung ho about its virtues at a promotional event.
When queried as to whether beau Bebo munched on his high brand chips, the Junior Nawab revealed that Kareena was a truthful ambassador too. And that she only sank her celeb teeth into a rival brand that she endorses!
"We're both loyal brand ambassadors," states Khan in a news quote. "And we don't grudge each other's choice about endorsing competing brands." The chips, certainly, are all up for Saifeena.
Rohit Shetty's 'Golmaal 3', being all togged up for a Diwali release is routinely in the news… and will earn the spotlight enormously as the 'Golmaal' series is all set to find a place in the 'Limca Book Of Records'!
Says elated director Shetty in a tabloid chat, "It is for the first time that a Bollywood film franchise is going into it's third part and that qualifies us for the prestigious Limca records."
Presently, the cast and crew are having a howlarious time canning scenes in Goa, and with Mithun Chakraborty, Johnny Lever and Ratna Pathak Shah being pencilled in to add to the zany fun, 'Golmaal 3' promises to be a side splitting experience.
Kareena Kapoor, who enacts a tomboyish part in 'G3', states in a media quote, "It will bring the house down."
She has been sexy, she has been a girl-next door, she has been bubbly and innocent too but now we will see the no-nonsense actor Kareena Kapoor in a completely different avatar for her upcoming film.
Well it is being said that Kareena will be seen playing a tomboy in yet another sequel GOLMAAL 3, being directed by Rohit Shetty. And for the first time ever we'll see Kareena in such a rough n tough role.
In the film, Kareena will sport casual wear, speak in a typical tapori style, use too much of abusive lingo and ride around on a bike doing dadagari just like the boys in gangs.
Rohit is quite excited about Kareena's new avatar in his film and already working hard alongwith the well-known designer Manish Malhotra to give Kareena the perfect look.
So get ready to meet the female version of Munna Bhai!
She scores, size wise and price wise. Kareena Kapoor has charmed zillions of Indians… and it's time to dazzle fans across shores. In Pakistan, no less!
Reportedly, Bebo pencilled in Rs 3 crore to endorse 'Firdous Lawns', a topline UAE textile brand. The stunning ad campaign canned at Dubai, illumines KK sporting a variety of ensembles ranging from party wear to conservative salwar kameezes.
A close source states, "Kareena was very impressed with the clothes and she heartily complimented the Pakistani designers over their creations."
Billboards in the Middle East featuring the Indian fashion diva have become a certified hit. Keeping the winning trend in mind, KK would well be endorsing more brands from UAE in the near future.
Kareena Kapoor cannot stop being ecstatic after delivering one of the recent box office blockbuster 3 IDIOTS. Now, the actress has another reason to feel cheered up. Her sister Karishma Kapoor recently delivered a baby boy.
Moreover, Kareena's love life with Saif is also going steady. In a recent interview, Kareena admitted that of all the three Khan's in B-Town, she had chosen the safest one.
Kareena is getting set to play another role opposite her beau in the film AGENT VINOD. The actress is also in talks with filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar and the two might do a film together.
This calendar seems to be bringing in bundles of joy for Bebo in terms of professional and personal life. Well, let's hope Bebo makes the most of it.
Arshad Warsi has finally agreed to do 'Golmaal 3' after the producers agreed to pay him a whopping Rs.3 crore to be part of the film, sources said.
Director Rohit Shetty said Arshad was on for the project, but the actor did not confirm his consent for the film.
Sources said the deal was finally cut Monday, after frantic negotiations. Arshad's fee is higher than each member of the cast, barring Ajay Devgn. It is even higher than that of Kareena Kapoor who has a three-film deal with the producers.
Says a source: 'After 'Ishqiya', Arshad was adamant on his fee. The producers (Ashtavinayak) tried to convince him to take a much smaller fee, arguing that his co-stars Shreyas Talpade, Tusshar Kapoor and Kunal Khemu (who replaces Sharman Joshi) were accepting a far smaller fee and if Arshad was paid three crore, the others would feel short-changed.'
But Arshad stuck to his guns. Earlier reports said the actor, now hot at the box office after 'Ishqiya', did not like the script of 'Golmaal 3'.
Rohit Shetty says: 'We were really keen to have him in the film. And yes, the price has been worked out between Arshad and the producers. So he's on.'
Strangely, though Rohit confirmed Arshad's presence in 'Golmaal 3', Arshad was still in denial.
'I am not sure yet. They've been after me for some time now. But I'm not able to make up my mind. I need to give time to my own production 'Hum Tum Aur Ghost'. So I don't know how I'll manage the dates,' he said.
Sharman Joshi, who was part of the earlier two movies of the 'Golmaal' series, had reportedly asked for Rs2.5 crore. He turned down the third part through his secretary.
Says Rohit Shetty: 'Even before the scripting of 'Golmaal 3', Sharman sent me a message through his secretary, saying he had other plans. I immediately looked for a replacement and am very happy with Kunal Khemu
Bebo babe is hot on the dance floor. Kool on stage and her jiggie wiggie moves remain above par. Invitees to award functions swear that she rocks in her dance numbers on the dais.
Recently, though, Kareena Kapoor matched steps with her love interest Saif Ali Khan for an award nite. And the awkwardness was there in full bloom for viewers to gasp at! Saif, the able possessor of "two left feet", lagged behind as KK pulled off all the moves with all the panache. Dancing, quite Un Saif for Khan.
The day of Love is nearing and our B-town people are gearing up to spend the Valentine’s Day in their own special way. While some couples are planning for a short foreign trip, single celebrities are sighing for some company…
Here we got some news from the most happening jodi of Bollywood – Saifeena.
Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor said to be keeping away from shor sharaba (read noises) of Mumbai on V-day and will be visiting a romantic, peaceful locale in Europe. Work first – Bebo will in fact wind up a commercial shooting in Paris and then will proceed to meet her Saif at the planned destination.
Then when we went over to the next hot pair, John Abraham and Bipasha Basu, we sadly didn’t find out anything. When asked about their plans, Bipasha smartly escaped saying that she intends to spend the day of love eating lots of fish. On other note, the beauty shared that she is actually waiting for her beau to give some surprise.
But this hottie has an interesting view about Valentine’s Day. She says, “I believe love drives the world, it can be in form of sibling love, parental love and romantic love. As Indians we should take it openly and celebrate the occasion like other festivals.”
Well, well… but here we have a beauty who is showing indifference towards this love festival. And it is none other than our tall beauty Deepika Padukone. As one can understand, looks like the actress is still nursing her old ‘Ranbir’ wounds secretly. For she stated, “I don't give much importance to this day. I'll be working.” Ouch!
In love or not in love, we say it’s the season of ‘give love and take love’ – just enjoy the day, what say people?
Despite facing strict competition from top actresses like Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor, Kajol has remained the undisputed queen of bollywood and that too after being in semi/self imposed exile ever since her marriage. And her box-office clout and fan following, especially in the Overseas is unparalleled. Her upcoming project, MY NAME IS KHAN, with her lucky charm Shahrukh Khan, has all the ingredients to keep her position at the top of the ladder intact and even swell her fan base.
Not many will know that Kajol was offered roles in both the MUNNA BHAI films as well as the all time blockbuster, 3 IDIOTS, but she did not accept them as she found the roles too miniscule and felt that she did not have much scope in them. So, what made her accept MY NAME IS KHAN? As per the actress, it was because of the character of Mandira, which she essays in the film that she signed MNIK. She found Mandira to be imperfect, slightly mad, little crazy and zany. Kajol adds that she liked Mandira's conviction and the fact that her character thinks somewhat differently from what others will in her place or situation.
Well, watching Kajol is always a treat as she lights up the screen with her mere presence and watching her with her favourite co-star Shahrukh Khan will be 'sone-pe suhaga'.
They're jaw dropping… and as awe inspiring as the ones who command them. Star prices, that is! Even as the industry is abuzz with the seven crore fee being doled out to Kareena Kapoor… comes the pricey news that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has beaten her in the remuneration game.
Reportedly, Ash is being lavished with a whopping 10 crores! The venture produced by Bobby Pushkarna ('Page3') will spotlight the international icon in a realistic opus along the lines of 'Provoked.'
A close insider states that Pushkarna has been chasing Rai for close to three months, valiantly asserting that if the Bachchan bahu turns down his proposal… he will scrap the project. Period.
Rai has three projects in her kitty: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Guzaarish', Vipul Shah's 'Action Replay' and Shankar's 'Robot.' And a reliable source avers that she's scanning the script before voicing her decision. Ash per her wish.
The industry whispers are turning louder and post '3 Idiots', the resounding verdict is out. Kareena Kapoor is being touted as the "highest paid actress." Her fee …a mere seven crores ...if Bebo has to wield her Monc Blanc!
Although KK diplomatically shoves away queries about her awesome remuneration, she readily concedes to being on a globe trotting spree, lending value to lifestyle and fashion products. Reportedly, Bebo has signed up for close to 10 pricey brands!
KK, though admits to being amused. "Either it's my price or my size that the media is always speculating upon," she giggles in a newspaper interphew. "If I get any thinner, I'll be a hanger!"Verrrrry Un Saif idea.
Twice unlucky……third time lucky? The question must be ringing aloud in Bebo babe's head. For the uninitiated, Madhur Bhandarkar had earmarked her earlier for 'Page 3' and 'Fashion' …. but Kareena Kapoor just couldn't manage to squeeze in the requisite dates to greenlight those projects.
And now, even as news of Priyanka Chopra's winning the National award ('Best Actress') makes waves, Bhandarkar has moved ahead … and this time around, he's yearning to work with… KK, yet again!
Reportedly, Bhandarkar has a realistic, gritty opus planned in mind, with Bebo essaying the protagonist. It was Kapoor's portrayal in 'Chameli' which seemed to have inspired the National award winning director to tip the scales in her favour. Spare some Saif dates, Bebo….
Kareena Kapoor earns reams of newsprint for her size zero frame and fashion aesthetics (sorry Chopra, just a phrase!). But there's a warm, generous side to her too, which few pals will vouch for.
Case in point Lovely Singh, the debutant director of 'Kya Love Story Hai'. Knowing his special love for watches, Bebo babe hunted high and low for a designer edition and … gifted him one which cost a cool seven lakhs!
Earlier on, she'd agreed to groove gratis to the 'It's rocking.. 'number for his flick. And true to her promise, KK didn't charge him a single penny for her jiggie wiggie. Lucky, Lovely Singh.
Saif Ali Khan is missing the curves of his lady love Kareena Kapoor these days. It seems Bebo's size zero is one of the most desirable things for the Chote Nawab. May be this is the reason that he jokingly told his lady love that she needs to lose some weight at a public event recently.
Kareena's size zero figure almost went on to become a national obsession. Every young woman wanted a body like Bebo's and the pride custodian of those curves, Saif Ali Khan, always loved the attention.
Now, Saif wants to see Kareena's curves back. And when Chote Nawab gets obsessive about certain things, he doesn't stop till he gets them.
