Interview: Kareena Kapoor Says 'Shahid and I Have Moved On'
Kareena Kapoor is peeved that certain sections of the media are going to town over the fact that she was spotted exchanging pleasantries with Shahid Kapoor at a recent award show and then at filmmaker Karan Johar’s party. “It’s probably the 10th time we’ve spoken. But even after four years people still feel the need to write about it. It’s unfair since we’ve moved on. He may be in another relationship now and I’m with Saif (beau Saif Ali Khan) who knows that I will always wish Shahid well.”
So can be there a Jab We Met 2 now? “Some classics are best left untampered. Remember Geet as she was, why try to bring her back?”
Kareena is particularly excited to have signed up another film with her idol Aamir Khan. She admits that at one point she almost believed she’d lost the Zoya Akhtar movie because the dates were not working out. “I don’t have even an hour to spare for the next year but Salman (Bodyguard) and Karan (producer of Short Term Shaadi) were very accommodating and I’m looking forward to working with Aamir and Rani (Mukerji), whose crackling chemistry in Ghulam had mesmerised me,” she says, adding that the dhokla-fefda drunken scene in 3 Idiots is one of her best scenes ever, and she has Aamir to thank for it.
“He was always ready with suggestions. All the Khans are team players. Saif gets magazine cuttings for Sriram (Agent Vinod director Sriram Raghavan) to mould my look and he discusses my clothes with Aki Narula. And Shah Rukh wants me to look gorgeous in RA.One.”
Is there talk of another film with SRK? Says Kareena, “The next eight months are really busy. If I sign any more films, my family and Saif will forget me. And I will have to Xerox myself and distribute the copies amongst my producers.”
The actor has just returned from a rejuvenating break and is ready to start another hectic year. Bringing in the New Year with beau Saif has become an annual ritual now, after a Christmas spent with his kids and their families. “I love Gstaad…The snow, the food, the people and the tranquility. I guess, there’s a bit of Europe in both Saif and me. That’s why we keep going back to this way-out Swiss town. I’ve grown up in the film world but sometimes it’s nice to go someplace where no one talks about Bollywood movies or music,” she sighs, adding that Saif and she have learnt to enjoy reading, skiing or just talking. “We’ve also made a pact to meet every 10 days.”

Guestlist of Invitees For Sania - Shoaib Wedding & Reception, See Who are Invited.
THIS INDO-PAK MATCH TO HAVE INVITEES FROM BOLLYWOOD AND SPORTS.
WHO ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND SANIA MIRZA - SHOAIB MALIK MARRIAGE?

WHO ARE EXPECTED TO ATTEND SANIA MIRZA - SHOAIB MALIK MARRIAGE?

Now that Shoaib Malik has paved the path for his proposed marriage with Sania Mirza, let’s talk happy wedding-stuff.
As of now, the wedding is to be held on April 15 at Taj Krishna in Hyderabad. However, the Mirzas have a back-up plan in case there is some disruption. For example, the Shiv Sena is planning to ‘boycott’ the wedding.
But in case, there is any sign of trouble, the wedding may be shifted to one of the heritage hotels in Jaipur or Jodhpur in Rajasthan.
Former tennis champs Steffi Graff and Andre Agassi head the list of Confirmed Guests. Former Pakistan cricket captain Imran Khan, a mentor of sorts to Shoaib, is is a maybe. His ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith, who was reportedly fond of the young Pakistani allrounder, may join Imran in wishing Shoaib and Sania.
Other guests who have Reserved a Sorry-can’t do-but-wishing-the-couple-the-very-best are Kajol and Ajay Devgan (currently in Dubai), tennis ace and mentor Mahesh Bhupathi (who will be in Monte Carlo) and actor Lara Dutta who will be with her family in Bangalore. Among the invitees are Hyderabad Police Commissioner A K Khan.
It has earlier been reported that Imran Zafar (Shoaib's Brother In Law) informed the press about the invitees to the Reception and said, "The guestlist will have cricketers Bhajji (Harbajan Singh), Viru (Virendra Shewag) and Ashish Nehra. My son (Shoaib’s nephew) is a huge fan of Team Kolkata. We will be inviting SRK. The rest of the guestlist will be decided once Shoaib returns to Pakistan. There’ll be no reception in Dubai.”
Unconfirmed reports say a sangeet of sorts is being planned in Mumbai, in which the bride’s good friend, Bollywood hottie Shahid Kapoor, will dance.
PERSONAL INVITES
The family is said to have dispatched about 800 invitation cards, expecting twice as many guests. Sania’s father, Imran Mirza, has been busy, inviting local friends and VIPs personally.
Though the number of guests coming from Pakistan and Dubai is not known, the Mirzas are said to have reserved about 25 rooms at Novotel hotel near Shamshabad International Airport. An equal number of rooms have been booked at hotel Taj Krishna and Taj Deccan.
Meanwhile, Shoaib’s mother Noorjahan and sister arrived in the city last Wednesday and are busy shopping for the bride and bridegroom. Sania’s mother is learnt to have ordered Sania’s wedding jewellery from a Mumbai showroom.

Steffi Graff & Agassi to Attend Sania Mirza's Mumbai Reception in The Taj on April 18
..... Bhupathi-Lara to do Item Number.
Who will be the invited Guests at her Reception and who are expected to attend it.
NOW it can be told, the Sania Mirza-Shoaib Malik marriage that is taking place in Hyderabad on April 15, will have its grand reception not in Dubai or Pakistan as is widely believed, but in Mumbai. Yes, and the date slated for this big-time party to celebrate the union between India’s tennis poster girl and Pakistan’s flamboyant cricketer is April 18th. Apparently, the new venue for the reception was decided on Monday after the Taj in Mumbai announced the reopening of its Grand Ballroom. Careful thought was also given to the list of eminent international guests who would want to bless the young couple and would, naturally, be happier doing so on Indian soil rather than Pakistani.
The Taj is being secretive about the reception plans. Executive Chef Hemant Oberoi will be dashing down in a private jet to Sialkot in Pakistan to meet the groom’s family with his best wedding menus of the last five years. And, Police Commissioner D Sivanandhan has already requisitioned Black Cat commandos from New Delhi to throw a security cordon around the venue on April 18. A celebrity event management company, used to working on the Academy Awards, is putting the finishing touches on the programme. A sangeet of sorts is being planned in which the bride’s good friend, Bollywood hottie Shahid Kapoor, will dance. Then Mahesh Bhupathi, Sania’s tennis partner in the ATP doubles, has expressed the wish to do an item number with his new girlfriend, Bollywood’s sex bomb and former Miss Universe Lara Dutta.
As to who will be attending the reception, that guest list could be anybody’s guess but it has be learned that among the VVIPs will be former tennis superstars Andre Agassi and wife Steffi Graf. Sania has always been an unabashed Steffi fan and the German tennis legend has conveyed that she would be delighted to attend the reception with her American husband. Former Pakistan cricketer Imran Khan, a mentor of sorts to Shoaib, is also coming. His ex-wife Jemima Goldsmith, who was reportedly fond of the young Pakistani allrounder, may join Imran in wishing Shoaib and Sania better luck than Imran and she had in their own marriage.

Sania Mirza's Ex Fiance, Boyfriends, Link Ups and Relationships
LOVE SIX AND DHOKHA: The attractive 23-year old tennis star has had quite a colourful stint off the court, having been linked with quite a few poster boys.
Sohrab Mirza:
Sania was engaged to childhood friend Sohrab in July last year. She called off the engagement six months later, citing incompatibility.

Adil Mirza, father of Sania Mirza's ex-fiance, wished good luck to the ace tennis player following her engagement to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. "I spoke to Imran (Sania's father) and congratulated him. It is a happy thing. I wish best of luck for them," Adil Mirza told reporters. He also said Sania's engagement to Shoaib Malik will not affect the ties between the two families, which is an old relationship. Adil said Sohrab Mirza was aware of the development and he would wish Sania on her engagement.
Mahesh Bhupathi:
Yes, though Bhupathi is credited to be her mentor, it did not stop speculations that there was more than professional camaraderie between the two tennis aces.

Sania Mirza – Mahesh Bhupathi was one couple which not just rocked on court but made waves even outside it. The couple always gathered lot of media interest considering Mahesh’s estranged relationship with his wife.
Riding high on their chemistry, India culminated its finest Grand Slam with a big win at the 2009 Australian Open Mixed Doubles Championship in Melbourne.
The relationship reached its peak after Bhupathi was openly seen with Sania. The relationship reached a point where Mahesh Bhupathi took all the decisions related to Sania’s fitness and availability for any tournament.
Much before the news of her marriage with Shoaib Malik broke, it was Mahesh’s relationship with Sania which had casted doubts on her engagement with Sohrab Mirza.
Shahid Kapur:
Shortly after his break-up with Kareena Kapoor, Shahid admitted to have gone on dates with Sania. If reports are to be believed, Shahid is the first guy Sania formally dated.

Sania and Shahid were seen cuddling and dancing together in five star hotels. The Sports-Bollywood link gave paparazzi plenty of fodder to thrive on. Shahid and Sania were enjoying time together. It was reported that once Sania and Shahid spent nearly eight hours together on the sets of director Vishal Bharadwaj’s Kaminay.
But as always, Sania Mirza went on to give the same name to the relationship – ‘Good Friend.’
Yuvraj Singh:
The two partied together at an event and photos taken sparked off rumours that the two were seeing each other.

Navdeep Pallapolu:
At one point Last year rumours were rife that the popular South Indian movie star was getting serious with Sania. In an interview, Navdeep even confessed that the two were very good friends and hung out a lot together.

Navdeep had said, 'We are friends, meet in gym and also hang out together but I won't speak much over the matter'. According to reports, Sania had also said that Navdeep is just a ‘good friend’
Marat Safin:
A non-practising Tatar Muslim, this retired Russian tennis player was Sania’s first crush.

When she stepped into the international tennis circuit, Sania had her first crush on Marat Safin, the ace Russian tennis player. She even befriended his sister, Dinara Safina. However, not much was heard about this relationship afterwards. The last couple of years Sania remained busy on the circuit and despite her whirlwind tours across the world, nobody was able to pick up anything about her love
Sohrab Mirza:
Sania was engaged to childhood friend Sohrab in July last year. She called off the engagement six months later, citing incompatibility.

Adil Mirza, father of Sania Mirza's ex-fiance, wished good luck to the ace tennis player following her engagement to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik.

Video of Phir Mile Sur Mera Tumhara [ NEW VERSION ]
Phir Mile Sur—The Song Of Unity & Secularism!
AND here it is, that great multistarrer we promised you yesterday and the day before. A new initiative to make the nation sing a song of secularism, brought to you by The Times of India Group and Vodafone Essar, is premiering exclusively on ZOOM from 7 am onwards today. Phir Mile Sur recreates the mood for an upbeat generation of united Indians. And what better day than R-Day to launch it? Filmed by Aarti and Kailash Surendranath (of KPC), this initiative has also been supported by Kingfisher Airlines and Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces. Go on, switch on your TV, tune in to ZOOM, and catch the national fervour. You don’t have to stand up when it comes on, but it would be nice if you did. Meanwhile, before that, hear what some of the proud Indians who made Phir Mile Sur have to say about the initiative.
AMITABH BACHCHAN
I’m honoured that there’s been a gap of almost 23 years and still the makers of this wonderful commercial Mile Sur want to include me. Though circumstances may have changed, the words and the feelings of the song still remain the same. I feel good about it. The Times of India has always been involved in many such nationalist, social, moral movements and I have had the great honour of being a part of it. I thank ZOOM for this opportunity.
SHAH RUKH KHAN
The first time I heard Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, I was around 20, yet the first thing that caught my eye was the visual appeal. It was more of a nonpreachy, personal patriotic song. It has a great secular feel and people are moved by it even now. I’m glad to be associated with this subtle yet powerful movement to be at secular equality with each other and stand united.
PRIYANKA CHOPRA
Phir Mile Sur is as patriotic and moving as a song can get. It’s a brilliant initiative and I’m glad to be part of it. It was something I really admired and I used to look forward to watching it. I say we should sing it every morning when we wake up.
AISHWARYA RAI BACHCHAN
I remember watching Mile Sur on TV and listening to the track. It was so inspirational. I was a kid in school and it was just overwhelming and impactful. It gave me gooseflesh.
ABHISHEK BACHCHAN
I used to look forward to it to seeing all these luminaries and celebrities of the country. Almost towards the end, Dad used to be on it and I would excitedly look forward to that. I remember growing up thinking how cool it would be to be a part of it one day. Today, it’s even more wonderful, because I get to be part of Phir Mile Sur with my wife.
RANBIR KAPOOR
Mile Sur is like an anthem for every child who grew up watching DD. This song is about oneness; it’s an important part of our country’s history. It’s feelgood, it’s emotional, it’s cathartic, and even after 20 years if you listen to the song it will have the same impact.
ANOUSHKA SHANKAR
Mile Sur is such an iconic piece of music. I’m 28 now and this is something I’ve grown up listening to and watching on TV. After seeing all those musical greats and then, being a part of this, especially as a musician, is such an incredible experience.
SHANKAR-EHSAAN-LOY
We’re happy ZOOM and The Times of India have taken this iconic song and redone it to suit today’s tastes, because no one can do it better than them.
SHAHID KAPUR
Mile Sur drew a sense of patriotism out of me; a sense of secularism and a reminder that we’re all the same. It was one of the more prestigious videos that came out, with the most eminent personalities in it.
SALMAN KHAN
It’s a brilliant concept that shows us how to get everybody on board and how to get everybody together. This song also underlines that we’re all on the same plane; that no one’s richer or poorer in emotion. No religion, caste, creed or colour is greater than the nation and the individuals of that nation. This song is like almost like a second anthem!
AARTI AND KAILASH SURENDRANATH (CO-CREATORS)
It was an exhilarating experience creating Mile Sur Mera Tumhara, which was a mosaic of many different celebrities from various walks of life and regions in India. Today, we feel the same emotions, after a span of two decades. So many things have changed in India — growth, prosperity, the economic scenario, however, as citizens of this wonderfully diverse country, our feelings for India have only grown stronger and Phir Mile Sur aims to showcase that. And after filming for over 60 days onlocation in prominent and historic sites across 13 cities of India and 30 days of post-production work, the video of the iconic song features a gift of love to the nation.
DEEPIKA PADUKONE
I remember Mile Sur being one of the first commercial message films my dad shot for. When I got a call to be a part of the new version, I was thrilled and called my parents, who were like ‘You MUST be part of it!’ It’s a great unifying thought for our diverse country.

Kiss Kameena! Priyanka Agrees to Liplock With Shahid Kapoor in Kaminay

Kiss nahi to kuch nahi - Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra
Kiss kameena!
Priyanka Chopra, who had refused to kiss her 'close' friend Harman Baweja in Love Story 2050 as she felt there was no need for a kissing scene in the script, has now agreed to a lip-lock with co-star Shahid Kapoor in Vishal Bhardwaj's Kaminay. It is known that Priyanka Chopra is not comfortable with overtly sizzling scenes on-screen and she even asked director Madhur Bhandarkar to tone down her intimate scenes with Arbaaz Khan and Arjan Bajwa in Fashion.
Zaroori hai!
This lip-lock is more interesting because it comes close on the heels of rumours linking the pair. A source from the unit says, "This will the first time that Priyanka Chopra will be doing a full-fledged kissing scene. It is a real sizzler!" The source adds that this time too, Priyanka initially had reservations and Vishal shot the scene without the kiss but when they sat down to watch the rushes at the edit he was convinced the kiss was necessary to establish their characters' growing proximity, so he urged PC to. She finally agreed.
Exceptions
Priyanka has always maintained that she would only kiss on-screen if the script really demanded it. The actress is known to be picky about kissing her co-stars on screen — no matter how close she is to them, off-screen. However she has made an exception in Shahid's case. Shasha and PC have bonded really well on and off the sets (with PC often seen visiting Shahid's home and travelling together to film shoots)."A source in Vishal Bhardwaj's office confirmed the news and added, "It's true that Priyanka and Shahid have kissed in the film. However it is too early to divulge any details about that"
She is a thorough professional and understood the need thus delivering the required shot.
