When Kareena Kapoor came to launch a shopping festival in the city for a jewellery brand she endorses, everyone only had one question on their mind. And the actor, who has been very open about her relationship with actor-producer Saif Ali Khan, pre-empted that. “When I decide to get married, everyone will know,” she announced.

But during the course of an exclusive conversation, she did imply that wedding bells are around the corner, adding that she and her beau are very busy this year. “I have Bodyguard, RA.One, a film with Imran Khan and Agent Vinod,” says Kareena, who is currently shooting for Reema Kagti’s film with Aamir Khan.

As for marriage, she seems prepared. “I look forward to getting married. That’s something both Saif and I talk about. We’ve been going strong for three and a half years, and have always aimed to be together. This year we’re both really busy; he’s making Agent Vinod and acting in it. So hopefully after that movie releases, yes, we definitely do want to get married,” she reveals.

When asked whether her taking less work next year and the joke on Koffee With Karan about her marriage in 2012 had any connection, she laughs. “No, but I don’t think marriage can deter this career I’ve graphed for myself.”

Neither does the proud 30-year-old feel that a change in relationship status will affect the roles she is offered. “Today, from what I gather, 30-year-olds want to play 65-year-olds. Despite being 25, you still want to play roles that show you’re old and that you can really act. So what’s the problem if I’m 30, and I can act?” she says.

For now, she’s keen on taking on less projects next year. “I’ve over-worked myself in the last three years. I need a break, else I’ll exhaust myself,” says Kareena, who wants her wedding to be a small intimate affair, and not a big fat Indian function. “A wedding should involve the coming together of two lives. It should be more about me and my partner,” says the actor, who is the ambassador for Gitanjali’s brand, Parineeta. “You want to be known a little bit for your work, especially for Saif and me, who’ve done a body of work that not many actors have been able to achieve. It did get irritating when everything gets associated with a stupid, dumb relationship.”

Koffee with Karan (KWK) and Karan Johar have a lot to answer for. It seems that after every episode, we hear about a new controversy concerning the stars on the infamous couch. But now it seems that the show is responsible for starting a full blown feud.

It all began when Kareena Kapoor wanted to know ‘where Priyanka got her accent from’, and with a quirky reply Priyanka let her know it was ‘the same place her boyfriend gets his from’.

Things don’t just end there though, Kareena went ahead to say that ‘I don’t think Priyanka is an actress’ to which Priyanka replied ‘Everyone has their opinion, but I think Kareena is an actress!’

Looks like its Kareena’s turn to throw the next ‘punch’!!! And all we can say is bring it on!

Looks like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra just have to take a swipe at each other.

The two don’t mince words when it comes to reacting to each others’ statements.

Bebo recently quipped, “I don’t think Priyanka is an actress!” When Piggy Chops was asked for a rebuttal, she coolly replied, “Everyone has their opinion, but I think Kareena is an actress.”

Yeh silsila started on Koffee With Karan where Bebo made fun of PC’s accent and the latter put the ball back in her court by saying her style of talking came from the same place as Saif Ali Khan’s!

Does PC’s thanda answer mean the cold war will now thaw? We hope not. After all, who doesn’t love a catfight.

Meeoooow!

Band Baaja Baaraat star Ranveer Singh confessed about his feelings for Kareena Kapoor in Karan Johar’s celebrity talk show “Koffee With Karan”.He was accompanied in the show by Anushka Sharma.

When asked about his favorite actress/fantasy, Ranveer jumped off his couch and went down on his knees and said “I love Kareena.”

He said further, “She is the one whom I have idolized from my adoloscent days. She is the one who is responsible for making me go from boyhood to manhood.”

Anushka amusedly watched Ranveer do his melodramatic bit.

He once again went gaga over Kareena who was draped in a sheer black saree in Imran’s wedding reception. Kareena’s beau Saif is certainly disapproving about Ranveer’s antics.

Now, this sounds surprising, isn’t it? But the fact is that Priyanka did make Bebo spot a bright smile. And how? Read on.

The cold war between Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra is no secret. Both have taken digs at each other in the past. Recently, Kareena had even doubted Priyanka’s acting skills on Karan Johar’s show KOFFEE WITH KARAN.

According to our sources, Priyanka’s latest debacle 7 KHOON MAAF is the reason behind Bebo’s smile. Priyanka, who till yesterday seemed to be the queen of bollywood is suddenly running into hiding. Well, given Bebo’s equation with Priyanka, this could not have come at a better time.

Priyanka on her part has taken the first flight out to be with her extended family in the US. Reports also indicate that Vishal Bharadwaj no longer wants to keep Priyanka as his favourite muse. On the other hand, Bebo is getting set with some of her best work which includes her film with Saif – AGENT VINOD.

With Priyanka giving Bebo a reason to smile, we wonder should we be sad or laugh about it. You decide?

The well-known beautiful foes Priyanka Chopra and Kareena Kapoor have just forgotten the harsh rivalry, which was even taking toll their careers, to dance together. It is well known that the rivalry between the two has reached its peak after the catty sessions with Karan Johar on his show Koffee With Karan.

‘Umang’, a Bollywood event for the Mumbai Police, held on last Sunday, was the venue for the spectacular dance performance. At the venue, Priyanka and Shah Rukh started the dance initially on the hit nuber desi girl. Then the pair Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor also joined them on the dais.

Going a step ahead Saif also agreed the girls for a picture. All we would say is that all is well that ends well. We may have to just guess on the relations between them in the future.

So open and blunt. Bollywood celebrities were never so candid as they are on Karan Johar’s Koffee With Karan show. Many statements by the celebs on the show have made news and now what’s hot from the show is Ajay Devgan’s advice to Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan: “Don’t get married”.

Like Shahrukh Khan, Ajay too went solo for Karan Johar’s show. Though wifey Kajol was missing, the episode turned out to be very entertaining, thanks to Ajay’s sense of humour and quick answers.

When Karan asked Ajay during the rapid fire round what piece of marital advice he would like to give Saif and Kareena, he said ‘Don’t get married’. That’s shocking because Ajay is happily married to Kajol or was he hinting that things change between couples after marriage. Or was it just an off-the-cuff remark made in jest.

Whatever it may be, the host Karan Johar couldn’t dig the matter further as it was a rapid fire round; both the couples are also his good friends.

In a recent interview with Mumbai Mirror, Saif said that he’ll marry Bebo whenever she is happy and comfortable doing that since the decision would affect her the most.

I am as committed as I am, married to Kareena or not–Saif
Talking about his relationship with Kareena and their decision to take the final plunge, Saif said, “It is always difficult to discuss marriage in an interview. This is something that she has to decide and whenever she is happy and comfortable, we will marry.

“It doesn’t really make a difference to my career. I am as committed as I am, married to Kareena or not. It has to be the lady’s call and she would be the most affected.”

The love birds, who have been dating from past three years, had recently revealed in ‘Koffee With Karan’ that they might take marital vows in 2012.

Vishal chooses SRK over Saif?
Sometime back, mutiple tabloids had reported that ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ director Siddharth Anand was planning to make a film based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel ’2 States’ with Saif, but then Vishal Bhardwaj and Sajid Nadiadwala took the subject with SRK. So what does he feel about that?

Saif explained, “Siddarth and Sajid Nadiadwala were not able to meet each others terms. Sajid has the rights of the book (by Chetan Bhagat) and he is making the film with who he thinks is the best available cast and director.”

About working with Vishal, Saif said, “There is no point in talking about films that did not work out. As far as Vishal Bhardwaj’s film Dream Sequence is concerned, a few modalities are yet to be worked out.”

Right now, the actor is focusing on his next with Imtiaz Ali and Homi Adjania, ‘Race 2′, and ‘Agent Vinod’.

“I am doing Prakash Jha’s Aarakshan, Homi’s untitled next, Agent Vinod and Race 2. There is politics, likes, dislikes, conditions met and not met,” he said.

Everybody knows that Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra don’t see eye to eye. However, they surprised everyone recently by hugging in public.

Buzz up!
CHOOSE BEST OF BOLLYWOOD 2010

It happened at the Mumbai Police Mela held at Andheri. Priyanka was performing to the track “Desi Girl” when Saif Ali Khan and Shahrukh Khan joined her on stage. Then she saw Kareena and gestured her to join them. They embraced each other on stage.

It is said that Shahrukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Farhan Akhtar have been trying to convince the actors to patch up. It was apparent that the trio planned the patch up, as Saif was spotted taking a photograph while Kareena and Priyanka were hugging.

Well, it maybe recalled that all was not well between Kareena and Priyanka. Besides the rumours that Priyanka is seeing the former’s ex-boyfriend Shahid Kapoor, the duo hit out at each other at Karan Johar’s TV show Koffee With Karan.

All is well that ends well!

It seems “Let bygones be bygones” have become their latest policy as they feel their cold war might create differences in their common friends circle including bigwigs like Shahrukh Khan, Arjun Rampal, Karan Johar, Farhan Akhtar, and many more.

Bebo-Priyanka rekindling their relationship?
Recently, in a conversation with KJo on his chat show, ‘Koffee With Karan’, the duo didn’t mind taking potshots at each other.

Apparently in the show, Kareena asked Priyanka, where did she get her accent from. To which, Priyanka replied in a later episode that she got her accent from the same place from where Kareena’s beau got his.

Interestingly, now the duo has decided not to take potshots at each other and even not respond to media bytes relating to their relationship.

Rejuvenating the facts, situations between Kareena and Bebo turned worse when Piggy chops started dating Bebo’s ex, Shahid kapoor.

Priyanka and Shahid together again?
It’s high time when Sasha and Priyanka should publicly commit their long-time on/off relationship.

And if you still feel something is fishy between them, don’t miss to watch out Shahid and Priyanka on ‘Koffee With Karan’, to be aired tomorrow at 9 p.m. on Star World.

You never know you get to know some unknown gossips about them.

Scuttlebutt has it that recently, after returning from ‘Don 2′ shooting from Berlin, Piggy Chops called up Shahid and decided to give their relation a second chance.

Of late, the duo has been spotted taking bike rides, spa sessions and many more.

Seems like Christmas has a new pack of surprises for all B-town fans!
