Kareena is Choti Begum:saif

Never mind Race, forget Tashan, Saif Ali Khan has moved on.....

And, this year, he’s got his own espionage thriller Agent Vinod to complete, and Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal and Renzil D’Silva’s next film to look forward to.

He’s looking younger and sexier (Kareena Kapoor will vouch for that) and is gung-ho about life and love and all set to rock at work. BT spoke briefly to the Chote Nawab...

It’s been a while since we saw you...
I’m a private person and I like it this way— hanging out at home with family after work or gong on a holiday. I also like my career to be on my terms. I think I am influenced by my father— Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi— in this regard. I don’t mind not being seen everywhere.
Is producing a film more satisfying than acting?
There are various departments of production that I am not familiar with. I am more interested in the creative side. The rest is taken care of by my partner. I’m an actor and nothing beats that.

What kind of films are you committed to making?
I quite like the concept of the multiplex hero. I like to make small, realistic and interesting films which are challenging and disturbing. My films Ek Hasina Thi and Being Cyrus would have done well in today’s multiplex time. But being a mainstream actor, I cannot escape from making interesting mainstream commercial films once in a while.

You seemed to be very settled in your love life...
I am. Kareena is the best thing to have happened to me. I already feel married. It just needs to be legalised on paper and that will happen when the time is right.
Will Kareena be Begum Pataudi ?
She’s a queen in her own right and doesn't need me to make her one. But I see some people in Pataudi calling her Choti Begum.

Kareena Kapoor - Fashion trend setter a nation rage

It's a well known fact that Kareena Kapoor has always set fashion trends through her films. Now with Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkth Ishq the style icon hopes to set a trend once again.

Designer Aki Narula who has created the Kambakkat Ishq costumes for Kareena said, "Kareena has chosen a lot of mismatches this time so as to make it look more real.

Kareena-Saif plan holidays

While the world is speculating about why Kareena Kapoor who’s in a relationship with Saif Ali Khan, is keeping an eye on her exboyfriend Shahid Kapur, she is happily making plans to celebrate her two years of togetherness with Saif Ali Khan on August 16, which is Saif’s birthday.

Kareena Kapoor confirmed, “It’ll be two years on that day since Saif and I started dating.”

While the actress is looking forward to spending more quality time with her beau, she is upset over the fact that her past is still haunting her. She hasn’t taken too well to reports of her keeping tabs on her exboyfriend and his girlfriend. “I was in Lake Como with Saif a few weeks ago when I heard that a section of the media was saying that I was keeping tabs on Shahid. Please spare me from such vile gossip. I’m a woman in love, and I have clearly moved on,” Kareena said.
