The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 2 - Kareena Kapoor

The Best Bollywood Item Numbers - Part 2, Kareena Kapoor
http://bollywoodwomen.blogspot.com/

Another really big Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor has done a few item numbers during her career.

2006 - Yeh Mera Dil - Don: The Chase Begins Again
2007 - It's Rocking - Kya Love Story Hai
2009 - Marjaani - Billu Barber
2011 - Chammak Challo - Ra.One

Here she is in the musical number Chammak Challo from the film Ra.One with Shahrukh Khan.
The storyline of Ra.One kinda reminds me of The Matrix mixed with Tron, but you wouldnt know it from this dance number....

Kajol and Kareena Kapoor in We Are Family

Kajol's latest film was just released and it seems to be doing fairly well.
It should, considering it stars two of the hottest actresses in Bollywood.
We Are Family was directed by Siddharth Malhotra, produced by Karan Johar, stars Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal and is a remake of the 1998 Hollywood film Stepmom.

In the film, Kajol plays Maya, a stay at home wife who gave up her career to raise her three children.
She has divirced her husband Aman (Arjun Rampal) and the story centers around Aman introducing his new girlfriend, Shreya (Kareena Kapoor).

Shreya is the opposite of Maya, a career oriented woman, and the situation between them takes an unexpected turn when the two women are brought together under the same roof.

Of course being a Bollywood film, it differs from it's Hollywood counterpart in that it has six songs, including a tribute to Elvis Presley's Jailhouse Rock.

We Are Family seems to be doing pretty well with the critics.

This is Kajol and Kareena's second film together, the first being 2001's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham...

Kajol said that she based a lot of her character Maya on her grandmother, Bina Rai, who passed away in December of last year.

Upcoming Kajol Movies

Now that the filming of My Name Is Khan has wrapped up, Kajol is finishing up on her next upcoming Bollywood film, an adaptation of the 1998 American comedy-drama, Stepmom.
The original starred Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon, and the Bollywood remake will star Kajol (in the role Susan Sarandon played in the original) and Kareena Kapoor (in the Julia Roberts role).
As of yet, the film is still officially not titled.

In contrast to what you hear about a lot of Bollywood actress sniping at each other, Kajol and Kareena appear to be getting along fabulously.

My Name Is Khan and the Stepmom Remake are not her only upcoming roles as Kajol will be involved in India's first Live-Action and 3D animation combination feature film, Toonpur Ka Superhero and doing a voice in the animated take on Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Koochie Koochie Hota Hain.
Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukherji, Sanjay Dutt will also be doing voices in the film.

Here is an interview with Kajol from NDTV where she talks about working on My Name Is Khan...

More Priyanka Chopra and Twitter

With over 22,000 followers, Bollywood beauty Priyanka Chopra is leading the pack as far as female Bollywood Tweeters go.
As of right now, Priyanka Chopra is at 22,873 and I think her closest rival is Mallika Sherawat at 11,448.
Although Mallika's account is verified which is something Priyanka should look into doing!
There are Twitter accounts listed for Bollywood stars like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone, you cant tell if they are real unless they are verified.

Twitter is a great way to keep up with the stars.
For instance Priyanka said a few hours ago....
"Hey ma peeps.. In kuala lumpur for a new commercial.. Hope u guys will end up liking the campaign.. Can't tell u what it is yet but soon..."

And Mallika said...
"Just got bck frm th Long Beach evnt wth mom n dad:)I spok on Bhalf of JagritiCharity,an amazin org helpin women in urgent need.G'nite all:-)"

Bollywood Women: Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Asin

Shradha Shrama

Production house Spectra Multimedia is working on a project titled "The Secret Life of Kareena" loosley based on the lfe of Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor.
Shradha Shrama was offered the role of Kareena, but turned it down saying that the film's script portrayed Kareena in a negative light.
Not only Kareena by the way, but also Saif Ali Khan and Shahid Kapoor are portrayed in the same way.
The character based on Saif Ali Khan is the film's villan!

Kareena Kapoor

How can they get away with a film like that without Kareena's permission and not get sued?
If someone tried that with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, they'd be slammed up against a wall of lawyers so fast it'd make their heads spin!

Priyanka Chopra

And speaking of Shahid, he and girlfriend Priyanka Chopra made a little news when Priyanka refused to kiss him during a scene in the film "Kaminey".
Priyanka doesnt like public displays of affection and wasnt told about the kissing scene in advance.
Director Vishal Bharadwaj didnt push the issue, but explained to her that the scene was intregal to the storyline.
Priyanka understood his point of view and proceded to film the kiss.
"Kaminey" will hit the screens on August 14th.

Asin

After all the sniping you read about between the women of Bollywood, its nice to read about someone that really gets along.
In this case it's Asin and actress Sridevi that are getting close.
Asin and Sridevi live in the same building and the two are often seen together along with Sridevi's two daughters.
Sridevi has has starred in hundreds of Hindi, Tamil, Telugu and Malayalam language films and been nominated for a ton of awards, so Asin could do a lot worse for a mentor.

Kareena Kapoor, Madhuri Dixit and Mallika Sherawat

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor is featured on Maxim magazine on it's cover.
Kareena is getting a lot of press lately, including the fact that she was on Filmfare Magazine’s “most powerful women” list.
Kareena has also told the press that she's putting marriage on the back burner to pursue her career.


And Madhuri Dixit has sparked a controversy, but not intentionally.
There's a lake in Arunachal Pradesh called Tsho-nga Tser that the locals began to refer to as " Madhuri " after Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit shot Koyla there.
The locals seem to be more than a little upset that their lake is being renamed by outsiders.


And finally, Bollywood beauty Mallika Sherawat has signed to make a film called “Female Barack Obama”, which is based on San Francisco Attorney General Kamala Harris.
Mallika is in LA of the post production of her film "Hisss" and has been burning up Twitter while shes been there.
Mallika is one of the most followed Bollywood personalities on Twitter with over 6000 fans.
She's even set to make a side trip to Twitter HQ on July 14th.
You can follow her as well here:

In Main Aur Mrs Khanna, Preity will be making a special appearance in a item number.
Although it's been rumored that her role has been beefed up a bit more.

Kareena Kapoor

You know I just realized I haven't done an actual write up on Kareena Kapoor.
So here it is.....

Her nickname is "Bebo".
She is an Indian film actress appearing in Bollywood films, and one of the leading actresses in the Hindi film industry.

Art Imitates Life for Kareena Kapoor

Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor was in Philadelphia shooting an untitled Renzil D'Silva project with Saif Ali Khan and Karan Johar when the devastating atacks in Mumbai happened.
As often occurs, art imitated life for Kareena, but in a horrifying way.
Again, my thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this tragedy.


Kareena shoots a film based on terror in these hard times
When the heinous terror strike hit Mumbai, little did Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor know that terrorism would take a toll on the city when she would be away shooting for a similar terror-related film in Philadelphia.
On hearing the news of the attack, a worried Kareena spent her valuable time in the US, making anxious calls back home. The actress had been shooting for some horrifying terrorism scenes the previous day, for Karan Johar's new film.

Who is the top Bollywood Actress?

India Times has posted a list of the highest paid actresses in Bollywood.
The list goes like this....
Kareena Kapoor
Aishwarya Rai
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Bipasha Basu
Priyanka Chopra



Very impressive list.
But I matched that list against the most popular (highest searched) Bollywood actresses and it came out like this.....
Aishwarya Rai
Kareena Kapoor
Katrina Kaif
Deepika Padukone
Priyanka Chopra
Bipasha Basu

The top spot looks like a fairly even battle between Aishwarya Rai and Kareena Kapoor.

So just who is the reigning Queen of Bollywood?

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena', Bipasha Basu

'I never got a chance to understand Kareena'

While her new found friendship with one time foe Kareena Kapoor remains a mystery for many, actress Bipasha Basu admits that she never got a chance to understand Kareena.
"I never had a chance to understand her but now the awkwardness is gone," the dusky actress said on the sidelines of an event.
Both the actresses were said to have a good time at a recent party organised by Kareena for beau Saif Ali Khan. It is said that both could not see eye to eye during the shooting of Ajnabee, Bipasha's first Bollywood picture.

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Will Item Dancer Preity Pose Threat To Rakhi?

Bollywood is changing too fast. There was a time when very few girls were ready to do item numbers and those who did such a job would like to come out of this image. However, there is a revolution-taking place in the industry. Rakhi Swant was known as an item song girl, and was kept away from doing heroic roles. Now, every Bollywood actress is proud of her item number and shoots to fame on that count. Name a top actress and she is named after her item number whether it's Aishwarya Rai, Bipasha Basu, Urmila Matondkar, Kareena Kapoor or the Queen B Madhuri Dixit.

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor sports non-glamorous look for new movie

Indian actress Kareena Kapoor sports non-glamorous look for new movie

MUMBAI, India: Glamorous Bollywood actress Kareena Kapoor will clean off the makeup and adopt a natural look in her new love story, "Jab We Met" or "When We Met," a filmmaker said Monday.

Director Imtiaz Ali said Kapoor's clean look is part of her girl-next-door image in his movie, which also stars Indian actor Shahid Kapur.

Bollywood actresses are rarely seen without makeup on screen, and are often criticized for wearing heavy greasepaint even when portraying poor villagers, farmers, lawyers or police officers.

But Ali said Kapoor's new movie is going for a more realistic feel.

The film takes place on a train and follows Kapoor and Kapur through a series of adventures after they are left stranded in a remote railway station without luggage or money.

N ANANDHI (Contributor)

5 June 2007

BOLLYWOOD PRINCESS Kareena Kapoor has no qualms taking a sabbatical from long drawn main roles and doing cameos and item numbers. Last seen in a critically acclaimed role in Omkara, Kareena will be spotted next in a brand new TV commercial for Citizen watches with none other than Indian cricket team captain Rahul Dravid. Though Kareena and Rahul have been endorsing the brand for more than a year now, this is the first time they will come together for a commercial.
