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.

He's gearing up to be enveloped by a new WAVE of female power! Mom Sharmila Tagore, sis Soha and love interest Bebo are all strong individuals in their own right, but Saif Ali Khan is onto women's welfare in a bigggggggg way.

The suave Khan will perform dance numbers to his own tracks for an all women audience. Collective sighs of adulation will be evident as the event kickstarted by WAVE (Women Against Violence) is being held to honour women from all walks of life, who have raised their voices against domestic violence.

Furthermore, Saif's shuddering a wee too… as he's agreed to recite 'shayari'(poetry, though not his own) dedicated to the fairer sex.

"I'm honoured to be performing for all those lovely women," gushes the Chotte Nawab in a newspaper chat. "It feels great to be surrounded by powerful women whom I know in their own right. They make an impact and have influenced me personally in many ways." Strong women. Saif company.

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?

Saif Ali Khan getting a Padma Shri didn't go down too well with some critics and film buffs but his proud mother Sharmila Tagore thinks the prestigious award will make Saif evaluate his worth and help him live up to people's expectations.

'This kind of a recognition encourages an artiste to better himself. Even if you lead a relatively carefree life, a Padma award makes you sit up and say, 'Hey, I've to live up to this. It isn't a film award I'm getting here. The government is recognising my efforts, and I better live up to expectations',' Sharmila told IANS.

'The Padma Shri will make Saif evaluate his worth and make him think of what the country expects from him. I think it's a great pat on the back,' she added.

Like any other mother, Sharmila too admits she likes her son's acting skills and that she is waiting for his next venture.

'I've become fond of Saif as an actor. And I look forward to seeing what he does next.

Speaking of awards and recognition in general, Sharmila said: 'The National Awards must have their own identity free of a Bollywood domination. It's very important for regional cinema to get its recognition. Now that 'Antaheen' has won the National Award for Best Film, it will get a renewed shelf life. Such recognition means a lot to regional filmmakers.

'You know when Manik-da (Satyajit Ray) made his first film 'Pather Panchali', he had to pawn his wife's jewellery. Nothing has changed, really. Even today a regional film is made on a meagre budget...'

Sharmila feels she got more recognition as an actress from regional cinema than Hindi movies.

'Barring 'Mausam' for which I got the National Award, most of my recognition has come from Bengali cinema. Even now Bengali film 'Antaheen', in which I play a cameo, got the National Award. I got a lot of opportunities to work in wonderful Hindi films like 'Anupama', 'Aavishkar' and 'Grihapravesh'. Definitely, these were forward-looking films...having said that the regional cinema has so much longevity.'

The actress said she chooses her films carefully nowadays. 'Maybe one film at a time. Otherwise I get tired. Getting things done through the ministry as the chairperson of the censor board is not easy. Also, my work with Unicef and other organisations gives me more satisfaction...All this is a strain on the 24 hours. I also like travelling.'

Asked about her work in cinema being recognised, Sharmila said: 'My self-worth doesn't come from what other people say about me. Recognition or the lack of it doesn't run or ruin my life...It's enough that some people like me. I know I'm not in the same league as Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan. But when I walk into a room I only feel good vibes.

'My fulfilment comes not from awards but from watching the peacocks frolicking in my garden in Pataudi. Not that I don't take my work as an actor seriously. I do. Earlier when I didn't like an end product, I dissociated myself from that film. Nowadays you are contract-bound to promote a film even if you don't like it. I find that kind of enforced professionalism to be restricting.'

It's close to a fortnight since the Padma Sri awards were announced and for all the controversies that it has managed to invoke this time around, the fact remains that all would be forgotten a few weeks down the line and the awardees would be happily living with the honour for the rest of their lives.

In this scenario, one wonders how would Saif Ali Khan want himself to be addressed in future. With a 'Nawab of Pataidi' tag already attached to him and now Padma Sri coming in; will it be a rather long screen title that we may see for him?

Smiles Saif, "I can't take this title too seriously after all. Yes, it's a national honour and great recognition. Still, I don't think that while interacting with me, people in the industry would be reminded of this honour. Also, I don't think it is going to affect public perception about me. As for being 'Nawab of Pataudi', then well, it doesn't quite hold true since my father is the last to be carrying this title."

Though he is happy about the Government of India recognizing his contribution to cinema, he cheekily adds that he is still waiting for some popular awards coming his way. "I have never won a Filmfare or a Screen award for being the Best Actor. It is nice to see that Govt. believes otherwise. Now this is something that will always stay on in my mind. I have to keep doing good to great work and live up this recognition in my future choices and endeavour", he says.

Meanwhile, pre-production of AGENT VINOD is continuing on full swing and director Sriram Raghavan would soon be kick starting the shooting of the film after a couple of months.

Priyanka Chopra and Ranbir Kapoor, who are shooting for 'Anjaana Anjaani', are set to meet Rocky-Rambo superstar Sylvester Stallone.

In fact, one of the temptations for them to do Sajid Nadiadwala's 'Anjaana Anjaani' was that the producer was a friend of Stallone who featured in his last film 'Kambakkht Ishq'.

'Ranbir and Priyanka definitely want to meet him. I'm flying down to Las Vegas to join them on January 27. We'll be meeting Stallone on the 4th or 5th of February,' Nadiadwala told IANS.

Earlier, Nadiadwala had taken Saif Ali Khan to meet Stallone in Los Angeles.

Sajid and his son Subhaan were supposed to meet Stallone during the New Year. But the actor injured his neck and the appointment was cancelled. Now a new date is being worked out.

And Priyanka and Ranbir insist on accompanying their producer for the meeting.

'I think Ranbir and Priyanka will kill me if I go without them to see Sly. We'll all be driving down from Las Vegas, where Ranbir and Priyanka are shooting, to Los Angeles to meet Stallone. It's a two-three hour drive,' said Sajid.

Ranbir, a big Stallone fan, owns a series of Rocky teeshirts. He intends to get a couple of them signed by the star.

Dismissed earlier as an Un Saif bet at the cine stakes, Saif Ali Khan now joins the ranks of Padma Shri winners!

A touched Khan voiced his joyous sentiments in an e mail message stating, "I am very proud and honoured to have received this honour. I would like to thank my family and loved ones who have been there for me and the industry for supporting me. I would like to thank my directors for making me who I am today."

Greenlighting his career with a tepid start 'Parampara' in 1992, Saif struggled sluggishly with a clutch of cine failures until 'Dil Chahta Hai'(2001) invested him with a fresh lease of life in starbiz.

'Omkara' and 'Love Aaj Kal' further consolidated his status as an actor of merit. His premier National award for 'Hum Tum' in 2004, still echoes with rumours of his illustrious mom Sharmila Tagore having pulled strings for her scion to bag this feat. Never mind, Saif's ahead in the 'Race'…

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.
