Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor

New Delhi: Actor Saif Ali Khan has denied reports that he and his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor are going through a rough patch, saying they are happy together.
Apparently, there were rumours that the couple have been fighting too much off late. Initially, it was about them being too busy with work and not spending enough time together. Kareena has about four releases this year, she has shoots lined up with Aamir, Shahrukh and Salman Khan. To add to it she has a couple of endorsement deals to keep as well. While Saif is busy with his home production, Agent Vinod, Prakash Jha's Aarakshan and Cocktail.
The other issue is Bebo's spending ways. Rumours are that the couple have been arguing over finances, while Saif doesn't mind splurging on his girlfriend but her family holidays are a matter of concern. Good news is that apparently, Kareena recently went to London not just for her waxwork but also to spend time with Saif and to resolve the issues.

But Saif denies all the rumours and states that all is bliss in paradise.
"I would 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 rumours 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," Saif, 40, said in a press statement.
Saif and Kareena, 30, who are considered one of the hottest couples in Bollywood, are seeing each other for the past four years. And they even featured together in films like Tashan and Kurbaan.
"The news has deeply disturbed both the couple and their respective families. They have always been open about their relationship and are alarmed with these rumors planted by people with vested interests," said a source.

The grapevine is abuzz with the news that Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are engaged ever since a huge rock was seen on Kareena"s engagement finger. But sources close to the lovebirds said that it"s just another rumour.

“Both of them have had it up to here with these constant marriage and engagement stories; especially this news report on how Kareena preferred to get engaged rather than get married. Honestly, it is the same newspaper that a while ago carried the story that Saif and Kareena were married. If the marriage story is true, then the engagement one is false. Neither of the stories were substantiated," The Times Of India quoted a source close to the actors as saying.

It is said that the ring that Kareena is wearing on her engagement ring was given gifted by Saif when their relationship was at a budding stage. “Saif gifts Kareena jewellery quite often. Everytime he gifts her a diamond or an emerald, it doesn't really qualify as an engagement or pre-wedding gift," the source added.

Rubbishing the news of their engagement, spokesperson of the couple said that they are not engaged. He added that they are not in the mood to talk of engagement or marriage.

Well, we hope the engagement rumour will die down as the spokesperson of the couple has declared loud and clear that they don"t have marriage plan anytime soon!

What sort of preparation did you do to plausibly portray an action hero in a spy thriller?
All sorts of things and they were pretty tiring. They sent me to Vietnam to learn a particular form of martial arts, and then there were driving lessons and training on riding the motorcycle. Thank god there weren't any dance classes!

Shah Rukh has made his most ambitious film Ra.One, Salman has been doing what he does best with Dabangg, Ready, Bodyguard. Even Aamir is on a great swing. Is Agent Vinod your biggest film yet?

They are very big actors compared to me and I wouldn't want to compare myself with any of them. I think if you have been in the industry for a long time, you should realise your dreams in some way or the other. 

I have just done the same thing through my own production house. It doesn't matter to me what others are doing.

You look in your comfort zone when you are doing action scenes. Can the same be said about Kareena Kapoor?

Well, she pulls off the scenes pretty well but she does tell me that she isn't too fond of doing action. She has this very intense expression on her face while she does it. 

As far as I am concerned, I thought it would be a lot of fun, but let me assure you, it was brutal and painful. I had multi-coloured bruises all over my body at the end of every day at the shoot. I did the stunts myself and it was very frightening but then you have to earn your bread, no? It is not easy. If romantic comedies are about the right timings, action is even more demanding. 

Any incident that involved Kareena?

We were shooting this intense chase sequence that ended up in combat in a parking lot where a lot of gunfire had to be there. Kareena came up to me and said, let's shoot the scene but do away with the guns. I was perplexed. 

She said she didn't want to hear the gunshots, and that it should be handled in post-production. I was like, "Somebody please talk to the heroine."

Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor’s cold war is not hidden to anyone.  But in a recent event, Priyanka Chopra made the first move, went to Kareena who was sitting a distance apart and gave her a warm hug.

Priyanka and Bebo actually was not on good terms due to Piggy Chops on and off relationship with Kareena’s ex-flame Shahid Kapoor. Says an onlooker, "As soon as she saw Kareena seated, Priyanka walked up to her and bent over her to give her a warm hug. Bebo reciprocated. For a few moments they exchanged niceties and PC went back to her seat."

Adds the onlooker, "Everyone was taken by surprise by PC's move." Last year, at the annual police mela PC took the initiative and went up to Kareena and said let’s forget what has happened and begin anew. They also danced together with SRK.

Saif Ali Khan and girlfriend Kareena Kapoor took everyone by shock when they were spotted hand in hand on the streets of Bandra with the purpose of their new abode hunt. Apparently it looks like the couple wants to shift to a new house after their marriage.

An onlooker informed Mid Day, "It was a surprise to see them walking on the road and entering a new construction nearby. Both were extremely casually dressed and in their flip-flops. Kareena had no make up at all." Adds the onlooker, "Both visited the building together and wanted to see what was on offer. They were there for a short while and both were seen in a discussion on their way out."

Last year there was buzz that Saif wanted to move from his present address in Bandra as a lot of high-rises were coming up in the vicinity and his abode was fast losing privacy. In fact the builders of the new constructions were selling their properties stating that it would offer a bird's eye view of the stars.

Reportedly, Saif and Kareena would get married on March 2012 and might shift to a new place after that. 

The hot and happening Saif-Kareena pair have been drawing a lot of media attention with their Public Displays of Affection. But, is this a hook up that is meant to last for a long time? Read on to find out what Astroyogi predicts!

Kareena is a Virgo as her date of birth is 21st September 1980. According to her horoscope romance has a different meaning in her life. She will tend to look for a partner who is equally intelligent. She will always keep her man guessing as she is not as demonstrative as other women. She will always demand perfection and will be easily disappointed.

Saif, born in 16th August 1970, is a Leo and is the exact opposite of Kareena. He will be very demonstrative with his feelings and would love to wine and dine his woman and shower her with expensive gifts. He would always crave to be the centre of attention at public gatherings. In order to make this relationship successful he has to treat her as his equal.

There are good chances of this relationship being a success. According to her horoscope Kareena will have the tendency to be very critical. Saif should overlook this tendency of hers and should respect her clever and alert mentality. If Kareena has no problems with Saif hogging the limelight and taking the central position in their family circle and refrain from being too critical about it there will be no barriers to their relationship. As a Leo Saif will have the tendency to have the last word and prove him right always and this may irk Kareena and cause problems. In this type of partnership it is best when Leo leads and Virgo follows. A little space and mutual respect is all that is needed to make this relationship a success.
