SAIF’S DATE WITH JULIA ROBERTS

Hollywood beauty, Julia Roberts is in town and has expressed her desire to meet Chote Nawaab Saif Ali Khan and his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.

Julia is shooting for Ryan Murphy’s Eat, Pray, Love in Pataudi and is accompanied with her kids, four-year-old twins Hazel and Phinnaeus and two-year-old son Henry. Sharmila Tagore met up with Julia during her shoot and that is when Roberts expressed her desire to meet Saif Ali Khan who she had heard a lot about and Kareena Kapoor. Julia was keen on meeting Kareena after she heard that Bebo would be enacting her part in Karan Johar’s remake of Step-Mom.

At the moment Kareena is shooting for the last song for Raju Hirani’s 3 Idiots with Aamir Khan and Sharmila had a message sent requesting Aamir to let Kareena off for a day to fly to Pataudi. Karan too is gungho about the fact Julia is down in India and her meeting up with Kareena would be a great way for Bebo to improvise for her future role. While Saif and Kareena are yet to make an official assignment about their meeting with America’s very own sweetheart, here’s hoping Saifu can play his charms on the pretty woman while Kareena gets her lessons from Julia for free!

KAREENA HAD A COUPLE OF SURPRISES ON HER BIRTHDAY

Kareena Kapoor had two great birthday surprises this year. The first was when Aamir Khan delayed 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 Raj Kumar Hirani to postpone the shoot, ad 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!"
