Harman-Kareena break the ice

Debutant actor Harman Baweja, who is foraying into the film world with the much talked about futuristic film Love Story 2050, says he has sorted out his problems with Kareena Kapoor, which were created by fabricated remarks.

The actor says he was shocked and embarrassed after reading reports about him making uncharitable remarks about Kareena. The remarks attributed to him about Kareena being 'robotic' in her performances had upset Harman.

"I'd never speak like that about anyone, least of all someone who is a senior (colleague) and was gracious enough to work with me when I was just starting out. That she finally opted out of Love Story 2050 doesn't take away from the fact that we got along really well," said Harman, who has teamed up with Priyanka Chopra in the film.

Harman's agony ended while he was in Delhi for an event earlier this week. On an impulse he sent an SMS to Kareena, telling her how awful the words attributed to him about her made him feel.

Kareena, who is in the US shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala's Kambhakt Ishq, apparently replied back in a long heartfelt message, saying she has been a part of the film industry long enough to know how such things work.

She is also said to have ended her message by assuring Harman she had no ill feelings towards him and was looking forward to seeing his film that releases Friday.

Harman is relieved and overjoyed that the matter has been sorted out.

"All I'll say is I'd never talk like that about anyone. Kareena is someone I truly admire. And if people want to spoil my relations with her, let them try. It won't work."

Kareena Kapoor plays a caring hostess to Saif and crew

As Saif Ali Khan is shooting his first home production in London, Kareena Kapoor is playing a caring hostess to the film’s crew.

The yet-untitled film by Imtiaz Ali has got Kareena immensely interested even though she doesn’t star in it. After her dance performance at Shahrukh Khan ’s Temptation show in Amsterdam recently, Kareena flew straight to London to be with the film’s crew and, needless to say, to spend a few days with Saif.

On the sets, Kareena is making herself useful to the crew. Making sure that she doesn’t come in the way of work, the actress has been pro-active in playing a perfect hostess – organizing dinners, lunches, finalizing the menus and making sure that everyone is well looked after.

And it is Saif who is most surprised to see this new side of hers.

“This is the first time I have had the opportunity to observe this hospitable, nurturing side of her personality,” Saif is quoted by a Mumbai tabloid.

Saif had earlier stated that he strongly wishes Kareena was cast opposite him in the film. But Imtiaz Ali, who worked with Bebo in Jab We Met , insisted on having Deepika Padukone , and Saif had to bow to the director’s demand.

Kareena will soon leave London and fly to Los Angeles to shoot Sajid Nadiadwala’s movie Kambakht Ishq with Akshay Kumar .
