Kareena Kapoor's birthday to be low-key affair

Bollywood Actress Kareena Kapoor’s birthday today will be a low-key affair. The actress along with beau actor Saif Ali Khan has postponed the big celebration to a later date due to Saif’s father Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi’s ill health. 

According to sources, the actor will be shooting for a brand commercial in the first half of the day and then spend the evening with her family. The family had apparently been making elaborate plans to celebrate her birthday with a lavish party to celebrate her recent success, they have postponed it for now. 

“Concerned for Saif’s father, Bebo and Saif are both in no mood to party at present. They only hope for his full recovery. It’s a sensitive issue and the mood is naturally sombre,” added the insider.

Kareena says, “We are all really worried and hope that he gets well soon.” As for her birthday, she says, “It’s the people around me who make my birthdays special, so whether it’s a lavish bash or a quiet dinner, it’s just as special for me.” 

Unlike several actors, Kareena reveals that getting a year older doesn’t worry her at all. “Heroines may have a short shelf life, but actresses don’t,” she smiles. “Besides, I’m not the kinds to chalk out plans for the future. I believe in ‘living the now’ and enjoying it to the fullest. And right now, I’m in a happy space professionally and personally,” adds. 

So, what’s the birthday wish going to be? “I’m working with the best in the industry, be it actors or filmmakers and I have a great guy to come back home too. What else can I ask for?” she smiles. More hits? “Hits are always welcome, but for me my happiness also has much to do with my family and friends, so just wishing for happiness always,” she signs off.

Next Year, I will Marry Kareena : Saif Ali Khan

Saif Ali Khan and his long-time girlfriend Kareena Kapoor might walk the aisle after the release of Saif's home production Agent Vinod. The otherwise shy Saif, dropped cues about his wedding plans at a recent promotional event.

He said that the wedding date would be announced after his home production Agent Vinod is completed. The actor is reportedly planning to settle down with Kareena next year. Evidently, even the movie is scheduled to be released on February 10, 2012. 

The 41-year-old actor, who walked as a show-stopper for designer Mandira Wirk at the ongoing Blenders Pride fashion tour, was seen wearing a black, sophisticated Band Gala suit with matching shoes. He also revealed his wedding outfit,"Since I belong to Bhopal, I will definitely wear an achka," Saif said.

Strong men never take tips from girlfriends: Saif Ali Khan

Actor Saif Ali Khan, who is dating actress Kareena Kapoor, says men like him, who are considered sexy and strong, never take styling tips from their girlfriends.

"I never take dressing or styling tips from Kareena as I being a strong and sexy man, know how to dress perfectly and look good," Saif told reporters Saturday night.

The 41-year-old actor, who walked as a show-stopper for designer Mandira Wirk at the ongoing Blenders Pride fashion tour, was seen wearing a black, sophisticated Band Gala suit with matching shoes.

His suit was a perfect tribute to the design inspiration of Wirk who took references from 16th and 18th century Rococo and Baroque style.

Saif, who was looking extremely confident on the ramp, said he was perfectly fine with actress Priyanka Chopra turning down an offer of doing an item number for his upcoming movie "Agent Vinod".

"I am completely fine with that as most of the actresses do not want to share screen space with Bebo (Kareena Kapoor)," he said.

The actor is reportedly planning to settle down with Kareena next year.

On being asked about his marriage plans, he preferred to remain silent, but disclosed his wedding outfit. "Since I belong to Bhopal, I will definitely wear an achka," Saif said.

Kareena resumes shooting for Agent Vinod

Kareena Kapoor resumed shooting for Agent Vinod at Filmistan Studio yesterday. Shrugging off rumours that she had held-up boyfriend Saif Ali Khan’s home production and allotted dates to Salman Khan’s recently released Bodyguard and the Aamir Khan cop caper, Dhuan, the actor says, “They were filming five major action sequences that did not feature me. 

Since my solo action shots had already been canned, I moved to Bodyguard that was com

ing up for release. Even Saif was busy with his other film, Cocktail.

I was waiting for him to finish before we resumed work on Agent Vinod.” During the course of the weeklong schedule, Kareena will be shooting an action-packed song and hopes to wrap up the film by September. 

Saif, who was called away to New Delhi when his father Mansoor Ali Khan suddenly fell ill with a lung infection, joined her on the set on Monday. 

Peeved over constant media speculation about keeping Saif dangling, Kareena points out that her producer-beau was well aware that she was juggling five big films this year — Salman Khan’s Bodyguard that opened this Eid, Shah Rukh Khan’s Diwali sparkler RA.One, Aamir Khan’s Dhuan that comes on Republic Day followed by nephew Imran’s Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu that releases on Valentine’s Day and then Agent Vinod, which could release in December or early next year. “It’s unlikely that I’d delay Saif’s film. What’s his is mine too, so Agent Vinod is as much my baby as it is Saif’s,” she asserts.

Meanwhile Kareena is excited about Bodyguard’s historic march at the box-office. “Ever since the first promo was unveiled I’ve been waiting for Eid,” she says, adding, “I knew that it was a perfect festival release, the right film with the right mood. It’s one of my best roles. Divya is a lot like Geet from Jab We Met (2007), the girl-next-door, who everyone loves. My fans want to see this the kind of Kareena.”
