Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor

Kareena Kapoor followed three different diet plans (drawn up by dietician Rujuta Divekar) for her look in “Chammak Challo", a Ra.One song she recently shot for.

Reveals Rujuta, "It was a jam-packed schedule. Kareena had left for Las Vegas on a 21-day shoot for Short Term Shaadi. On her return, she had to shoot for Ra.One's “Chammak Challo", where she had to fit in to this sexy white dress.

“To attain that perfect figure, we had a Mumbai diet charted out on her return to the city, one for her stay in LV, another for her 24-hour flight from Mumbai to Las Vegas via London and then back again to Mumbai after the shoot ended. She lost five kilos for the Ra.One song but still ended up looking fit and fabulous."

The dietician, who is used to planning controlled diets for Kareena admits that the different diets were difficult to plan out especially the one in Vegas. "We had two diets in place one for 10 days and one for the nights. It was very tough to find the right food in Vegas as they were shooting outside. At 4 am, she would have milk shakes or milk - food that was light but enough to sustain the cold and feel enthusiastic about working."

A scene where Bebo had to eat several pancakes topped with maple syrup for a particular scene in Short Term Shaadi during the Vegas shoot, had Rujuta worried.

"We managed to see that she ate on time. I wasn't travelling with her but was constantly in touch on the BlackBerry Messenger. We had made diet plans when she boarded the flight. She told me the breaks she would be taking along the Mumbai-London-Las Vegas route. There's a chef at the UK lounge, who is a huge fan of Kareena's and when she travels, she asks him to pack dabbas for her. It was quite a tough thing to plan but Kareena managed everything perfectly."

Rujuta adds, "On the Ra.One song shoot, I gave Kareena makhaana (lotus seeds) to eat as they are very nutritious and rich in minerals. She'd eat them roasted in ghee flavoured with pepper and salt. Even Shahrukh Khan liked it and would eat with her."

Bollywood's most happening couple Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are in trouble. The problem was that Kareena was recently left with no other choice but to go against the wishes of her beau.

Saif had earlier said that he would love Kareena to see him perform with the band Parikrama for charity, as it would boost his confidence. However, the rock concert coincided with the shooting of a television show for the Children's Day by Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies company.

Kareena said that she had to cancel her plan to attend Saif's concert, as she had commitment to shoot for Shahrukh's show long back. She is disappointed over skipping the concert but is sure that Saif would understand. She added that she can't let her heart rule all the time.

Give Kareena the chance to let her head rule!

Bollywood and fashion have always gone hand in hand ever since the consciousness of being fashionable struck India. However, to be fashionable and to look good are completely different things, albeit it can be said that they are two sides of the same coin, sometimes.

Yet, many a times despite not making any real fashion statements, many of our stars are let go scott free only because they look genuinely good in anything that they wear. Two such significant actresses in B-town are of course Aishwarya Bachchan and Kareena Kapoor. Both these beauties have a great aura and stance that has kept them in the running for the No.1 slot in B-town. Even if they do have a great eye for fashion both off and on screen, it is their inner beauty and radiance that reflects out and keeps them looking stunning every time they make an appearance.

But the question is: What keeps their radiance alive? Well the fact is that both these actresses are in the habit of practicing yoga on a daily basis. Reports suggest that Kareena indulges in a very strict routine of a two-hour power yoga regimen every day. This helps her get rid of all the negativity and fills her with positive energy which helps her to bring out her inner beauty to the forefront.

Ditto for Aishwarya, this mesmerizing beauty too relies on the power of yoga to keep herself fit and healthy. Perhaps the power of this ancient form of exercising the mind and body does have a very significant role to play in making a person genuinely beautiful and lead a life of contentment and happiness. It is perhaps this sense of well being that reflects in a person"s personality. Thus, if Aishwarya and Kareena can practice yoga and look stunning, so can all you folks who would love to be as radiant as these two lovely ladies.

Katrina Kaif surprised everyone with her performance as a politician in Raajneeti. Now, Kareena Kapoor seems to be following her footsteps, as she is going to act in a political drama.

Yes, Kareena is going to act in Farhan Akhtar's film Bhruh to be directed by Sudhir Mishra. The director revealed that he was planning to do Devdas remake but the script led him to something else. He added that the film is about a person, who is a heir to a political family, with Kareena in the female lead. However, the the lead actor is yet to be finalised.

Well, let's hope Kareena too tastes success like Katrina through this political outing!

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor is one gal who doesn"t hesitate to call a spade a spade. Well, the gal who has had a great innings in the film industry has also had some relationships with her co stars that have become imbibed into the psyche of her fans.

One of her most remembered off screen relationships perhaps will always be with Shahid Kapoor. The duo was almost seen as the cutest couple in tinsel town and both seemed quite happy with each other at one point of time. But, as they say everything in a man"s life is destined.

Thus, the two were soon reported to have split and both moved on, with Kareena becoming very close to Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor started getting linked up to many of his co-stars including Priyanka Chopra, and till date there are speculations whether Shahid and Priyanka are in a relationship or not.

Well despite the fact that both Kareena and Shahid have moved on it seems that Bebo still has not forgotten the fact that Shahid Kapoor has tremendous sex appeal.

Thus when Kareena did admit that she found Shahid the sexiest amongst all super stars at a popular show, it sent ripples in tinsel town. Everyone is talking about the fact that Bebo still thinks Shahid to be the sexiest. Now with so many compliments and counter compliments flying day in and day out everyday Bollywood surely seems to have a new crop of stars who are becoming quite generous with their contemporaries.

Actress Kareena Kapoor was summoned by the customs authorities on Tuesday after she left her baggage behind the airport when she returned from London. Since the baggage's take long to reach the conveyers belt, Kareena left the airport asking her staff to collect it on her behalf.

However, soon after she reached home she got a call from the airport superintendent Atul Sharma asking her to collect her baggage personally. The actress accompanied with boyfriend Saif Ali Khan had to return back to the airport to collect the baggage.

Actors like Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan never wait at the airport to college their baggage, while some of them wait for all the formalities to get over. So why was it that Kareena was summoned by the customs authorities?

Kareena Kapoor loves being eco-friendly. She left last night for Switzerland on a 10-day trip with beau Saif Ali Khan. The couple will be staying at a chalet-hut owned by the Gstaad Palace which runs on solar energy.


Says a source, "Bebo and Saif believe in preserving the eco-system in their own way. Last year, she had promoted eco-friendly handbags. Every year, they re-cycle their fir trees during Christmas. This year, Kareena and Saif will be staying for a few days at the Gstaad Palace in Switzerland and then shift to a wooden hut (the Walig Hut) built like a small 18th century chalet at 5000 feet above sea level.


“The 300-year old hut has been carefully restored with basic plumbing and solar-powered electric lighting. Saif loves skiing, so every year the couple have been spending their New Year's on the Swiss Alps."


The chalet-hut is very expensive costing over £1,000 per night for two adults. This includes a sumptuous three-course meal with wine and champagne. The hut's back-to-nature experience is an attraction to people who normally live their lives in comfort.


The couple will initially spend a few days at the Tower Suite in the Gstaad Palace. "The Gstaad Palace offers a breathtaking view of the majestic Swiss Alps and is one of Saif's favourite hotels. A wide variety of activities such as golf, heli-skiing, hot-air-ballooning et al are available near the hotel."


Built in 1913, the Gstaad Palace is set on a hill overlooking the beautiful town it is named after. The tastefully decorated 104 rooms include 29 junior suites, and the luxurious and sophisticated three-bedroom Penthouse Suite. The Palace offers gourmet dining in five different restaurants, live entertainment in two bars, and dancing at the famous GreenGo nightclub.


Papa time
Before leaving for Switzerland, Kareena took an entire day off from work and spent it with her dad Randhir Kapoor. A source close to the actress says, "Kareena has been constantly shooting for her films and ads and hardly had any time to spend with her father. Incidentally, he too was holidaying in the USA. They met up for lunch yesterday and spent the whole day together catching up."
