Bollywood superstars Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have no plans to get married soon as they believe that this might impact their career.

The Bollywood stars, who have been constantly surrounded by wedding rumours since they started dating two-years ago, said that they are happy to be in love and would like to focus on their career and relationship at this point of time.

"We have not really addressed that issue (marriage).

We do talk about it but right now I think Saif wants to set up his production house and I want to do some more great roles," Kareena said, while speaking at the HT Leadership Summit.

Khan, who debuted as a producer recently with 'Love Aaj Kal' backed his lady love on the topic of marriage, saying, "There is no rush to get married.

Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor go hand in hand for everything!

Mumbai: The hot and sizzling Kareena Kapoor is riding high these days with her hubby Saif Ali Khan for her upcoming flick Kurbaan.

Both of them have been seen promoting their upcoming hot movie on different locations. Both Kareena and Saif are talking about their latest movie even though they go to their friends or relatives.

It has also been in news that the steamy scenes between them have made and broken several previous records as far as live making is concerned.

Saifeena to perform together again

Saifeena have been all over the place, be it under the guise of shooting, events, award ceremonies or just stage shows. Recently, they created a riot with their ensemble performance on August 21 at Sharjah for 'Jashan 2008'.

The overwhelming response to Saif and Kareena's show has inspired organizers, the Morani Brothers, to organize a series of shows across Europe. Mohammed Morani said, "The Sharjah show was extremely successful. We are now organizing a series of shows across Europe and the Middle East. Saif and Kareena have a huge fan following in these places. People throng to the stadium to watch them especially after the success of Race and Jab We Met. Also, Saif and Kareena make a wonderful pair. They are both good looking and exude power that makes the audience go 'wow'. Saif and Kareena gave solo performances and the results are evident with the success of 'Jashan 2008', so we can imagine the response when the duo performs together."

Kareena said, "The show had a crowd of 20,000 people and it was just amazing. Saif is in talks with the Morani Brothers for the shows across Europe and the Middle East." Minissha Lamba, who was the only star to be a part of the Sharjah show said, "I am looking forward to be on stage for the shows to be held across Europe and the Middle East."

Kareena Kapoor’s unforgettable birthday

Kareena Kapoor had two great birthday surprises this year. The first was when Aamir Khan postponed their shoot for 3 Idiots from September 21 to 25 and then it got better when beau Saif Ali Khan flew in her mom and close friends to Udaipur where she was shooting for a magazine cover.

Last year too the actress was shooting on her birthday (September 21) for 3 Idiots. This year too, when the shooting was delayed, she accommodated and gave up her janam din date. When Aamir learnt about it, he requested Rajkumar Hirani to postpone the shoot, and let her have a free day.

Bebo was in Rajasthan on Saturday for a shoot and was to return later in the day. But that evening, Saif flew in and booked them into the Udai Vilas Palace Hotel.

Then on Sunday night, he surprised her further by flying in her best friend Reena, her designer Shabina Khan, some other close friends and her mom Babita to bring in her birthday.

Says a source close to the actress, "He had booked a suite and in true Saif style, he had it decorated it with candles, flowers and everything that she loves. Saif had recently taken her for a European holiday so Bebo wasn't expecting Saif to surprise her again, which he did!"Tags: kareena kapoor, saif ali khan.

As a Muslim, Saif proud to do 'Kurbaan'

"As a Muslim I feel proud of the fact that I have done this film. This is one of the most socially relevant films today. It is good that it is coming at just the time when our country needs cinema like this," Saif told IANS in an interview.

Set in the US, "Kurbaan" is a romantic thriller with terrorism as its backdrop. A Karan Johar production directed by debutant Rensil D'Silva, "Kurbaan" also stars Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Dia Mirza, Kirron Kher and Om Puri. It is slated to release Nov 27.

Saif reveals that he now has a new career plan in place. "I would now be working on two-three films a year and make sure that I cover a wide spectrum. While a couple of them would be big, nice commercial films, another would be a relatively smaller film that can be completed in 30 days flat."

After "Love Aaj Kal", his next production venture is "Agent Vinod". But shooting for the film is still a little distance away.

"Final touches on the script are being given and we have been looking at getting the best technicians on board. I guess by the end of this year, we should begin shooting.

"In any case I am in no tearing hurry to ready my next film. One should space things out, invest good time to publicise things and get the right preparation in place for the making of the film," said Saif.

He is also careful that his personal life, especially his health, doesn't suffer due to his professional commitments.

"It is of paramount importance that one looks after the body as well as brain. I go to the gym regularly as well as spend some good time with family. As far as work is concerned, I have certainly become even more serious about production after 'Love Aaj Kal'.

"We have learnt quite some lessons after the release of our first film and the idea is to leverage from some mistakes that we may have made. My investment as a producer is bound to increase from here on."

Meanwhile, the success of "Love Aaj Kal" and "Race" (2008) have made it closer for him to the

His "Love Aaj Kal" has completed 50 days at the box office and has earned more than Rs.65 crores (Rs.650 million) just within India. Now actor-producer Saif Ali Khan is looking forward to "Kurbaan" - a film he admits he is proud of
top-five league. While Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan are firmly placed in the top league, Saif too is not that far away.

"I don't know much about that. All such number placements are for other people to state, study and analyse. As for me, I know today that I'm in a position to make the film that I want to make. I am also confident that the film I would make will carry some meaning to people. My project should now carry certain amount of weight and direction and for that one has to be a bankable star."

He continues to shrug away the entire numbers game.

"This number business is quite fluctuating actually; so one should not be worried about it. What you should worry about more is that now since people have higher expectations from you, you should deliver even better in your next assignments," Saif said.

Kareena isn't trustworthy for Saif

Well before you let your imagination run wild let us make it clear Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor very much trust each other. But in the spy thriller Agent Vinod Saif faces the dilemma when it comes to trusting Kareena. The Sriram Raghavan directed Agent Vinod is said to be modelled James Bond series and is being produced by Saif Ali Khan himself.

Saif plays a spy in the movie while Kareena works for the villain. Saif's character has to find out whether Kareena is a real baddie or a victim of the villain. Surprisingly Kareena and Saif aren't romantically involved in the movie. That sounds strange as there has been a lot of talk regarding the lovemaking scene between the two.

Kareena's special bond with her niece

Guess who Kareena Kapoor runs to when she wants to get out of the "daily grind" of Bollywood? It's her four-year-old niece Samaira!

Mausi's muse: Samaira Kapoor

"She was literally born into my arms! Being with her makes me forget who I am and the daily grind my profession makes me go through. Watching her grow up is such a great experience. We talk to each other a lot and she always likes to tell me what happened at her dance classes," says Kareena.

According to Bebo, Samaira has already developed a great ear for music. "The moment she hears a good number, she dances to it. This is a sure indicator to me about how the track would fare in the long run. She likes to draw too, you know," says the indulgent mausi.

If she depends on her niece to judge a music number, then it's her elder sister she turns to when it comes to deciding film projects. "It's true that it was Lolo (Karisma) who told me to take up the movie opposite Salman. I have been watching Salman since I was nine years old and an earlier movie with him didn't do as expected. But she insisted that I take up Main Aur Mrs Khanna because it had a great script and also because she felt I would look very good with Salman. I trusted her blindly on that."

While she's known to keep social networking sites at arm's length, Kareena reveals she has made up her mind to jump in very soon. "I am not on any social networking site at the moment but very soon I will register on a few of them. Everybody tells me that my fans need to get in touch with me directly and I have made up my mind to do that before my other film Qurban releases."

For the time being, Kareena has set up a google alert in her name. "Whenever my name appears on any online media, I get a link to it in my mailbox. It's a pretty scary thing because I wake up to read so many things which are not true. You either need to forget that stuff or just laugh it off," she ends.

Kareena bids goodbye to 'size zero' figure

Kareena Kapoor has finally bid goodbye to her 'size zero' figure. The Jab We Met actress who had one point of time become obsessed with her weight now looks healthier and fitter. Recently the actress was spotted eating her heart out in Italy where she is holidaying with beau Saif Ali Khan. Well this by the same Kareena who was once on liquid diet to reduce her weight.

Kareena displayed her amazing figure in a sizzling bikini in the Yash Raj nightmare Tashan. She also donned a range of hot pants and mini skirts in the movie. Bebo carried her slim look in Golmaal Returns which was shot immediately after Tashan. But the actress put on some weight for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambakkht Ishq and Karan Johar's Qurbaan although she did a bikini shot in KI too.

Kareena has reduced her weight to under 50 raising health scares across the industry. It was being rumored that beau Saif at one point of time was worried about Kareena's obsession with a size zero figure. All that is past now and Kareena is known to have crossed the 50 kilo mark by many miles bringing relief to her loved ones especially Saif Ali Khan.

Kareena can't sleep without seeing Saif

Kareena Kapoor cannot sleep at night without seeing her beau Saif Ali Khan. Let us not turn our imagination too wild and imagine Saif's presence in Kareena's bedroom. In fact the actress says Saif will be the last person she will want to meet before she goes to sleep. But the actress doesn't sleep without seeing her beau's photographs.

In an interaction with the media Kareena gave some insights into her daily life. Bebo said that her yoga teacher was the first person she saw every morning. The actress revealed that she started her day with a plate of fruits and long yoga session and then planned her itinerary. Well, now we know the secret behind perfect size zero figure that she sported in Tashan.

Bebo Main Bebo!

Critics may have lambasted Kareena Kapoor's 'bitchy' role in Kambakkht Ishq, but Bebo is least perturbed. "Kambakkht?isn't an Omkara or even a Jab We Met.

It wasn't meant for the critics. It was targetting the masses," says the actress frankly.

She adds, "Forget the Oscars, we aren't even thinking of the Indian awards, but simple box-office collections because ultimately, that's the parameter for success." What about the sexist jokes, abuses and MCP comments in the movie that have raised many an eyebrow? "We hear such comments everyday in real life.

People are laughing hysterically at the jokes. And Omkara had far more abusive lingo," she says and adds, "Come on, it was just a movie to watch while munching popcorn.

And I'm a star actress who has been constantly trying to strike a balance between critically-acclaimed films and commercially successful entertainers. I'm the only actress who can slip into any kind of shoes - Kolhapuri chappals or Jimmy Choo stilettos - because all sizes fit me.

But jealous tongues will wag." However, there's one person who is far from being jealous and has tagged her the most glamourous woman of today.

"Saif was most excited since the first promos of Kambakkht? were aired. His mother (Sharmila Tagore) was one of the most glamourous actresses in her time and now Saif says it's me.

He loves the way I'm able to balance my career with an Omkara and a Kambakkht?" On Saif referring to her as chhoti begum, Kareena says, "It's a huge compliment and a responsibility, too. I don't react to it because for me the Begum of Pataudi is still Saif's mum.

" There's another role the actress has decided to take up - that of a designer. She plans to launch her own design label soon.

"Yeah, I've taken fashion a step forward. Post-September, when I'm a little free from my endorsements and have wrapped up the month-long shoot of 3 Idiots, I'll be working on my own designer line.

I'm talking with Indian designers and international brands." The conversation veers towards Saif's upcoming film Love Aaj Kal.

Ask her if the intense love scenes between her beau and Deepika Padukone make her uncomfortable and she says, "So what? We're both actors first and complete professionals. We do what the script demands without it spilling into our personal lives.

"Lastly, ask the actress if she sings Bebo main Bebo, the song from Kambakkht Ishq to her love, and she says with a chortle, "No, we don't sing songs to each other. But if Love Aaj Kal is a hit too, we might just throw a party and play each other's chartbusters.

Deepika kissing Saif?

This piece of news will surely make Kareena Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor fume in anger if it turns out true. The grapevine is abuzz with the news that Deepika Padukone and Saif Ali Khan have done some intimate scenes in Love Aaj Kal including a kiss.

However, Deepika denied that the film has lip-locking scene. She said that the particular scene looks like a kiss but just a cheat in reality.

Saif is leaving no stone unturned to make his debut home production Love Aaj Kal a big success. He is flying off to England along with Deepika to promote the film at the ongoing Twenty20 World Cup. Kareena too has decided to skip the IIFA Awards function in order to be with Saif.

Watch out for this latest on screen pair!

She has to give major chunks of dates for both the films apart from her endorsements, shows and the completion of Rajkumar Hirani's 3 Idiots."
