Bollywood is one movie industry where you’re sure to witness a few cat flights. During movie promotions the starlets decide to stick together, but once the movie is declared a hit or a miss, the girls part ways.
So who’s in the middle of a cold war this time? It’s none other than our very own Bebo and Piggy Chops. The two have regularly passed in-direct comments about one another in interviews.
Previously we’ve seen cat flights between the likes of Rani Mukherjee – Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor – Preity Zinta to name a few. But things can get nasty when the actresses impose on the ex-boyfriends, therefore the name Shahid could have been the cause of this lady brawl.
Kareena who once dated Shahid and then left him for Saif, wasn’t too happy that her friend Priyanka chose to hang out with Shahid, nevertheless this chapter seems to be over now.
So what’s the problem now? The recent buzz is that the Desi Girl visited one of Saif’s film sets to get to know the star better. Many years ago Priyanka broke off all ties with co-star Akshay Kumar after the media went over board speculating about their love affair, so it seems her motives have changed over the years.
Kareena on the other hand has expressed that she loves the pairing of Saif and Deepika, and adds that Saif knows best when it comes to choosing his co-stars and knows which ones to avoid – Ouch!
Priyanka will be seen making a special appearance in Zoya Akhtar’s next film starring Kareena Kapoor and Hrithik Roshan. For the sake of the film producer, thankfully it’s only an appearance .
So, do you think two actresses on the same level of fame can ever be friends?

Guests at Ritesh Sidhwani’s party post India’s World Cup win were surprised to see Preity Zinta and Kareena Kapoor bonding. The two have had major differences in the past.

In those days Preity was rumoured to be dating her Salaam Namaste co-star Saif Ali Khan, and Bebo couldn’t see eye-to-eye with either.

The actresses even lashed out at each other on Karan’s chat show in the previous seasons. But that’s all in the past. Perhaps it is SAK who convinced his friend PZ and his girlfriend Bebo to get to know each other, and they took his advice. Way to go girls! Best to wash away bad blood..

Kareena Kapoor seems to be the latest actress to have shown fondness for a girl child after Sushmita Sen and Preity Zinta have done so before. In a recent interview to a fashion magazine, Bebo said how she’d love to have a baby girl when she’d start a family.

Just recently Sushmita Sen adopted a second girl child saying, “In India when everybody is giving up the girl child, there’s a huge majority of girl child in orphanage. Even if I choose to adopt a third child, it will be a girl. When I’ll give birth biologically I won’t have choice anyway and I’d be happy to have a son then.”

Talking about fondness for daughters, actress Preity Zinta even went on to adopt 34 orphan girls from the Mother Miracle School in Hrishikesh on the occasion of her last birthday. Preity states, “”I’ve adopted 34 girls. I’ve been looking after their entire upbringing from education to food, clothes etc. You’ve no idea how wonderful it feels to hear the excited chatter of all these girls together.”

Elaborating on her decision, Preity said, “I had been thinking of what to do to help the less privileged classes specially the girl child. The horrors of foeticide and rampant child abuse are not just screaming news headlines for me. They’re voices that scream from inside me. And I had to listen to them. These 34 girls are just a beginning. I plan to adopt a couple more every year.”

Kareena’s sister Karishma too has a baby girl Samaira who Bebo is very fond of. Aunt Kareena seems to have gotten so close to Samaira that the thought of having a daughter of her own some day seems to be on Bebo’s wish list!

Various artists were felicitated at the ‘Max Stardust Awards 2010′ which took place in Bandra Kurla Complex on Sunday.

Various artists like Kareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Katrina Kiaf set the stage on fire with their performances.

The winners in leading categories
The Stardust ‘Best Film and Director’ 2010 Award went to film “Chintuji” while Preity Zinta bagged ‘Best Actress’ for her film “Videsh”.

Amitabh Bachchan took the ‘Star of the Year’ award for his mind-blowing performance in “Paa” whereas Kareena Kapoor grabbed ‘Star of the Year Female’ for her films “Kurbaan” and “3 Idiots”.

The ‘Stardust Editor’s Choice–Director’ award went to Rohit Shetty for his movie “All The Best”.

Shahid Kapoor was awarded ‘Stardust Editor’s Choice– Best Actor’ award while best editor’s choice actress went to Kareena Kapoor for “Kurbaan”.

Preity Zinta shot for a song with Kareena Kapoor for Main Aur Mrs Khanna.Now, there may be nothing new about two actresses sharing the screen space, but it was different this time around because both these ladies shared pretty cold vibes sometime back. It was Kal Ho Na Ho that had sparked of a war of words between the two. However, there were no fireworks when the two shot for a song for the movie. In fact we hear Preity, who was down with high fever, refused to stall the shooting. On the sets the two got along fine and danced their hearts out.

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are very liberal with their kisses. And their ways are highly generous as they share smooches not only with each other but also with their co-stars. Just view the statistics – Kareena kissed Akshay Kumar atleast 10 times in ‘Kambakkht Ishq’ while beau Saif has kissed Deepika Padukone about 5 times in their upcoming ‘Love Aaj Kal’.
Although, Kareena with her eternal pout blamed the script for her kisses, Saif Ali Khan wanted limelight for his debut production venture. Now, how far Saif’s kisses will take the film that remains to be seen but Kareena has definitely scored a point with her passionate kisses.

Saif has a remarkable history of kissing his heroines: Remember the steamy kisses with Vidya Balan in ‘Parineeta’; with Preity in ‘Salaam Namaste’ and so on. Bebo is no less, she kissed ex-beau Shahid Kapoor in ‘Jab We Met’ with a fervour that led people into thinking that perhaps their love-story will revive again.

Saifeena are truly fit to be crowned as king and queen of kissdom!

Kareena Kapoor and Aishwarya Bachchan are perfect examples of being famous for their flops. Kareena Kapoor has had it easy, literally. It hasn’t exactly been a rough ride for the Kapoor babe from Day One itself. Even though she left the blockbuster role of female lead in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai against macho Hrithik Roshan to Amisha Patel, she managed to garner much more publicity for her flop debut, Refugee, than what Amisha did for her superhit starter. And that was the beginning of a new mantra to market a diva — hit or no hit, the Brand has to hit the headlines.

And it was this very marketing mantra which saw the rise, rise and only rise for Kareena Kapoor. Even after a spate of flops like Asoka, Yaadein, Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Jeena Sirf Tere Liya, etc the youngest Kapoor kid saw all the big names from Karan Johar to Yash Chopra to Mani Ratnam and Boney Kapoor vying for her attention. Film after film flopped, but nothing changed much for Bebo. She continued to demand very high rates, which paradoxically kept rising with each flop!

And following in her footsteps closely was none other than our very own grey-green eyed goddess, Aishwarya Bachchan who, in spite of not having given a single hit in the start of her career for very long hit the jackpot with Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and is the most ‘sought-after’ Bollywood actress today.

So, this is the Bebo-Ash blockbuster story. What is it that makes the two divas eligible for the big league which otherwise has names like Rani Mukherjee, Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra who, by now, must have lost count of their hit films? “Both Ash and Bebo have class. I know them closely. They have talent as well as beauty, and I guess this combination is more than enough to please the audience. At the same time, one must not forget that Ash is a big international star,” asserts Showman Subhash Ghai who has earlier directed Ash in Taal and has done as many as Three films with Kareena.

Film critic Indu Mirani punches in a more logical explanation to this unique phenomenon. “I think Aishwarya and Kareena are totally different girls as far as personality and presentation go. But their careers are similar in the sense that they have got all the Good stuff in spite of not having hit films. I think it’s because there are very few actually hot leading ladies in the industry today. Rani, Preity and Priyanka cannot take up all the roles, right? There are very few A-grade heroines. And these two girls know how to present themselves. They are also very media-savvy and hence it has been easy for them,” she says.

But why isn’t it easy for other talented Good-looking girls too as, say, Lara Dutta? Why hasn’t she matched up to this grade? “Kareena, of course, is a pedigreed girl. She has been lucky as she belongs to the Kapoor Khaandaan. She also had her sister Karisma, a superstar in her own right. For Ash, I think it’s more of media hype with her scintillating beauty helping in a big way.” explains Mirani.

And if we throw back a look, this trend doesn’t seem to be very new. There are examples in the past also where artistes, even though they hadn’t given a single hit, had dozens of movies in their kitty. For example, in the 80s, the pinup girl of that time, Sonam, had close to 40 films in her kitty even before her first film was out for review! Similar was the case with Chunky Panday who, apart from Aankhen with Govinda, has no film to be remember him by. But he was one of the hottest dial-a-quote stars of late 80s.

Production designer Bindiya Dutta, wife of filmmaker JP Dutta, and herself hyped as a Hema Malini clone in her heyday, has had the experience of working with Ash and Bebo; and sums it up. “For us, hits and flops are inconsequential. We are only here to do Good work and definitely we choose our leading ladies according to what they suit best. Like Refugee wouldn’t have been the same without Kareena and Umrao Jaan without Ash was unimaginable.” What a hit explanation! Branding, anyone?

When Bollywood beauties like Preity Zinta, Juhi Chawla and Shilpa Shetty are trying their luck in the business of cricket (courtesy:The Indian Premier League), one wonders why Kareena Kapoor is nowhere near this game.

So, Juicy Mausi, just out of curiosity asked Bebo and guess what she had to say… “I have no idea about business. I only know how to act. As for business, I will think about it five years later,” Saif Kareena. Mausi Agrees!

But hey, cricket she likes! You know the obvious Chhote Nawab and Pataudi connection and all that. Also last year, if Mausi’s not mistaken we did see this petite star jumping up and down cheering a certain IPL team with boyfriend Saif.

Maybe she just does not have time! We hear that the size zero actress is busy working for forthcoming films like Kambakth Ishq, Main Aur Mrs. Khanna, Three Idiots and an untitled Renzil D’Silva project.
