Last weekend, tinsel town was hit by rumours of a possible rift in the four-year-long romantic relationship between Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor.
In a press statement issued through his publicist, Saif Ali Khan says, “Id like to reassure our fans and well wishers that all is well with Kareena and I.”
“We are working hard but we always make time for each other. All these rumors are disturbing and untrue, especially when families are brought into it in such bad taste.
“I wouldn’t like to say anymore except we are very happy together.”
In an unsigned report this morning, the daily alleged that Kareena and Saif’s busy schedule isn’t leaving them with any time for each other. In the past, Kareena used to be the busier of the two and Saif would accompany her when she was shooting away from home. Lately, Saif too has become very busy with Aarakshan and Cocktail and has no time to accompany Kareena.
“The news has deeply disturbed both the couple and their respective families,” says a source. “They have always been open about their relationship and are alarmed with these rumors planted by sources with vested interests.”
Abhay Deol on item numbers…
Abhay Deol is not really fond of item numbers. He in fact, finds them very boring.
According to Abhay, the item songs which are seen in almost every film nowadays are just marketing gimmicks with set formulas.
“It is like if you have to promote your film then you need to have an item number. It is about money, but one must not forget creativity. I don’t find much originality in item songs because you remix old tracks or have a basic hip-hop beat, or you will have hip-hop dancers. And now of course trend is you want white women in the background and the lead stars in the middle,” Abhay Deol is quoted as saying by a news agency.
Abhay has himself sung a song and danced in his upcoming film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
“You never know… never say never. I am open to doing item songs as long as it works for the film. But I would at least try and make the effort of making the number a bit more interesting and original in terms of visualising and placement,” Abhay said.
Abhay added that he doesn’t like dancing.
“Dancing, I don’t like. It is not something I really want to do. I don’t mind trying singing….But dancing?” he wondered.

Sonam feels Hrithik Roshan is the best…
Sonam Kapoor is totally mad about Hrithik Roshan’s dance. Making her admiration public, Sonam Kapoor doesn’t really enjoy watching television, but she couldn’t help but make an exception for Duggu.
“I really enjoyed the show. It was spectacular,” the actress, who follows the popular US dance show informs. “There was actually a performance on a song from Jodha Akbar in the US dance show format,” she quips.
Rooting for Hrithik, Sonam says, “I loved his entry. Only he can dance like that. There is no better person than him to judge a dance show.
It’s hard to even blink when you see him dance onscreen. Even his speech was straight from the heart.”
The young actress finds Hrithik’s real life story very inspiring. “Its amazing that someone like him, who was advised by a doctor not to pursue dancing, ended up being the nation’s best dancer.
It just shows you can achieve anything with determination, grit and passion. Those contestants are really lucky to be mentored by him,” she adds.
Speaking about Hrithik’s HR locket that has caught her fancy, the fashion-conscious actress says, “I would love to own that HR locket.”
“I don’t know if I should dance with him but I would love to when nobody is looking. Hopefully, I would get to do a film with him and we will have our own original number,” she giggles.

We here that, Kareena broke down while having a serious talk with Saif on the phone while she was on the sets of her film Bodyguard. Realizing that the relationship was on the rocks, Kareena dashed off to London to appease Saif who’s shooting for Agent Vinod in London.

Grade: D: Poora time Waste 
ALWAYS KABHI KABHI is said to be based on director Roshan Abbas successful play ‘Graffiti’, which he had written and directed way back in 1999.
The story spins around the lives of four high-school adolescents – Sameer aka Sam, Aishwarya aka Aishu/Aish, Taariq aka Einsten, Nandini aka Nandu the Bull, who are in their final year at St. Marks, a school full of good looking, well-dressed romantic students dancing around with funny professors like Ms Das (Lilette Dubey) and Professor Agarwal urf Agro (Vijay Raaz), the girl’s skirts end much above their knees and Romeo and Juliet continues to be the most important chapter in classroom.
Sam, the coolest dude in school, who lives life through shortcuts falls in love with Aish, a new entrant in the school, and as always, you can expect obstacles in their love story. A parallel love story emerges between angry young rebel, Nandu and the cute nerd Einsten. Everyone’s parents are evil.
In short, the story is about how the four brats screw up their lives, and to top it up, the family problems, thus clashing their dreams and aspirations.
The first half of the flick is dull and boring while the second half has a flashy climax. The movie is completely a teeny,youth type film, filled with dreams, friendship, love, crushes, parents pressure, campus life, flirting etc etc. The film does convey a message at the end especially to the parents.
Though the movie is so-so, in fact, it desperately wanted to look youthful, though the dialogues and one-liners did have a youth flavor. The entire star cast did their parts beautifully and can be rated above average. Thankfully, there was no over acting.
Roshan Abbas’ Always Kabhi Kabhi would have worked well if he had released the flick a few years back.
Rating: 1 out of 5

What’s with Aishwarya’s weight gain???
Fans couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the 162nd edition of the Prix de Diane horse race in Chantilly in France. Ash looked very fat and chubby. The actress was dressed in an elegant peach coloured Eli Saab creation and a typical coquettish hat.
Just a few days back, she looked perfectly fine at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival, and there was no indication of the added kilos.
Well, the actress has put on so much of weight and she is going to have a tough time shedding those extra kilos for Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Heroine’. Aishwarya has not a very considerable amount of time to get back in shape if she is to look convincing as the ‘Heroine’.

“All the three lead actors are playing out-of-the-box, and extremely interesting characters in Barfee,” said Anurag Basu, the film’s director,

Ileana D’Cruz, on the other hand, is playing a character who will be seen aging from a 19-year-old to 30 to a 65 year-old,” stated Basu.
The shooting of Barfee took off on June 14 at Darjeeling where Ranbir and Ileana are participating in a 10-day schedule. The hill station is Ranbir’s hometown in the film and will be showcased as never before. After a 15-day gap, the shooting will continue in Mumbai, where Priyanka will start working for her part in August. As for the title Barfee, it was chosen because Ranbir’s name in the film is Murphy, and being mute, he mumbles it as barfee!
