Kareena looks stunning on the cover of the fashion bible’s latest issue. In an interview for the magazine, Bebo makes a series of confessions, reveals the secret of her dropping pounds, factors that make her choose a particular film, and more. Catch the spunky lady in a candid mood. Like it or not, she’s more in Vogue than she’s ever been.

Bollywood’s hot actress Kareena Kapoor sports a can-can like confection by Dolce and Gabbana and it is not a look the Jab We Met star is sporting for any new role but it is actually part of a special shoot for the cover of India’s fashion bible.

“I love the first look, its Dolce, I think it will be the cover picture, it will be fantastic,” said Kareena.

 

The actress is certainly on a roll these days but when she’s not shooting or sweeping the award ceremonies or being swept off her feet by boyfriend Saif, she’s evidently striking dramatic pose after dramatic pose.

 

No matter what the demands of the shoot, the mood seemed simply: no Tashan.

 

“I think it’ll be great. I have never done this thing before. Fashion prefers more subtelty and kind of little more hard shoots as there is no typical smiley smiley faces like filmy shoots. So, when we shoot for fashion it is more rustic, there in your face,” she said.

 

Even if pouts are more in focus the actress certainly has reason to smile not just because of the cutting edge couture she’s sporting but because this is a cover she’s coveted for a while.

 

“I think for every girl, Vogue is an ‘It’ magazine,” said Bebo. In fact her elder sister Karisma is also well pleased with the final product.

 

Kareena also revealed the secret behind her skinny look and her hot tip on dropping pounds was: “It’s yoga. I never miss it no matter. I do yoga like I have my shower or food,” said Kareena.

 

Well there it is, she’s got the awards locked up, she’s the cover girl of the moment. Like it or not Kareena Kapoor is very much in ‘Vogue’ at the moment.

Sanjay & Manyata: Honeymoon over before it begins?

March 02, 2008 By: ZendaZelia Category: Gossips No Comments →

Sanjay Dutt has always been in the centre of many a controversy. Now we come to the latest twist in the most talked about marriage in Bollywood .

 

Come February we were greeted to the news of Sanju baba’s wedding to starlet Manyata. First it was a registered marriage in Goa, then a Hindu wedding in Mumbai with his family ‘missing’ from both ceremonies.

The marriage led to several controversies including the rumour that the hush-hush marriage was speeded up ‘coz the Dutt’s had yet another announcement to make, that of Manyata being pregnant!!!

 

Then came the news that a convict, Meraj-Ur-Rehman claimed that he was still married to Dutt’s ‘wife’. Surprisingly Dutt has been silent on both these statements doing the rounds.

First, the Goa marriage registrar’s office slapped a notice on the couple .This was followed by the Marriage Registrar in Goa serving Manyata with a show cause notice questioning her on the fake residential certificate that she had submitted.

An official of the Goa government was suspended allegedly on ground of accepting invalid documents and registering the marriage in the tiny tourist paradise

 

Now, in a bizarre turn of events, Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt and wife Manyata have revoked their marriage in Goa.

The couple applied to the Goa Marriage Registrar seeking to revoke their marriage on Thursday and the Goa marriage registrar has accepted the application permitting them to withdraw the marriage. The wedding now stands cancelled.

The couple in their application said they did not desire to honour their marriage under the Portuguese Civil Code.

Sources said the couple decided to cancel their marriage to avoid the legal tangle arising out of the alleged fake residential certificate that the registrar had accused Manyata of submitting at the time of the wedding.

 

The duo apparently wanted to register their marriage under the Special Marriages Act but was not informed at the time of marriage that the Act was not applicable in Goa.

Independent sources in Goa confirmed this when contacted over phone Thursday afternoon.

The development comes barely three weeks after the couple’s wedding first came under the limelight .

Circles close to Dutt described the development an indication of how Dutt and Manyata are ‘frustrated with the continuing legal complications hampering their wedlock’.

A close friend of Dutt, filmmaker Nitin Manmohan, said that Sanjay and Manyata just want to lead ‘a normal, peaceful married life, but the legalities rocking their marriage has left a bad taste’.

Manmohan said though he had not yet spoken to Dutt about the matter, he sympathised with the couple.

King Khan takes Terrorisim Head-On!

First he became the chapion of National Sports with Chak De, his movie on Hockey –women’s Hockey to be precise. Now SRK joins Karan Johar and Kajol to make a movie on Terrorism.

For filmmaker Karan Johar too it a break away from larger-than-life family soaps and fairytale romances. He is all set to make a reality movie about terrorism called ‘Khan’. The movie is without songs and will star Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol.

Terrorism is too grim a subject to be associated with a Karan Johar movie. But, this time around, the filmmaker has opted for the real world.

Though Johar refused to divulge the details of the script, the buzz doing the rounds in Bollywood says that the movie will be essentially about Islamic terrorism post-9/11.

‘Terrorism is a reality of our time. We cannot afford to shut our eyes to it. I am taking this film as a challenge,’ Johar told the media.

Shah Rukh will play the role of a peace activist who, after being kidnapped by the terrorists, has a chance to see their ’causes’ from their point of view.

Industry sources said the movie is a dream-come-true for Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh. For this is one role he always wanted to play and he would often tell journalists that he had played all other kinds of roles in movies, but would like to play a terrorist if somebody offered him such a role, a source said.

Bollywoood Actor Shah Rukh had once said he had personally experienced that if one had a Muslim surname abroad, one was looked upon as a terrorist. ‘In London’s Heathrow airport people recognise me, but when they see my second name, they run an extra check,’ he had said in a recent interview.

The movie had earlier been titled ‘My Name Is Khan’.
