After five years Shahid Kapoor to walk the ramp

After five years Shahid Kapoor to walk the ramp


The one thing he last was seen doing along side his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor, way back in 2006. That was for Manish Malhotra. Looks like, in 2011, Shahid has just walked a little further, away from his once love Bebo. The Kapoor boy will waltz down the ramp at the upcoming fashion week to be held in August. Alone.

A close friend of the actor revealed, "For five years, Sasha (as Shahid is fondly called) shied away from such offers. The last time he did was for Kareena. He doesn't like to attend parties either. And when it comes to the ramp, he generally says 'No'."

Now, however, the star seems to have made an exception. "Shahid is walking the ramp for his personal stylist Kunal Rawal in the upcoming fashion week. Kunal is a very good friend of his. In fact, Kunal designed his entire wardrobe for Mausam," said the friend.

Of course, considering Shahid has stayed away from the fashion flashlights since 2006, this is a big step for him on the personal front as well. "Shahid took a long time to firmly make up his mind. But now, it's official," added the source. Shahid remained unavailable for comments.

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra keep safe distance

Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra keep safe distance

Are they together or not? Nobody seems to know for sure. After denying having an affair a zillion times (and then notoriously doing things which indicate to the contrary) Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra seem to have finally parted ways..at least that is what people have concluded after watching how they behave with each other on the sets of Kunal Kohli’s next.

According to sources, Shahid and Priyanka are finding it very difficult to maintain normalcy in their relationship. At the sets of Kunal’s film, though the duo works professionally and gives their best shot while in front of the camera, Shahid-Priyanka avoid any interaction off camera. It is worrisome how the two actors are avoiding each other on the sets and the cold vibes might be visible in the film too if they do not mend fences.

 

Incidentally, Kunal had signed Shahid and Priyanka for the film way before their breakup. He had hoped to cash in on the real chemistry and the popularity of the couple. Poor Kunal, little did he know that he would find his lead actors looking separate ways when the shooting began. Shahid-Priyanka, patch up for your director at least…..by all means majority of his films are bad copies of some or the other Hollywood classic, the audiences deserve at least a good chemistry between the lead actors!! 

Shahid Kapoor's Mausam to affect many

Shahid Kapoor's Mausam to affect many
Shahid Kapoor's Mausam has been postponed, this time by a week. Earlier scheduled for a September 9 release, the film will finally release on September 16. But this sudden development has had a ripple effect. 

It is Shahid and Priyanka Chopra starrer Kunal Kohli's untitled film which has suffered an abrupt change in plan, leaving Kohli with no option but to shoot his film in July. 

Now to clear your foggy glasses, we tell you how and what happened. Pankaj Kapur's Mausam has been rescheduled for a third time to release in mid September. Earlier, Shahid was supposed to start shooting for Kohli's film right after Mausam's release on September 9, but because of the change in plan Shahid now requires time to promote his father's film instead. Thus, the dates given to Kohli earlier will now stand cancelled. 

To help Kohli out, Shahid reallocated his dates and wanted to shoot in July instead of September. Priyanka, the lead actress, unfortunately, didn't have dates in July as she was shooting for Anurag Basu's Barfee. So, Kohli was wise enough to use his good rapport with Basu and request him to exchange their dates. Phew! Enough information? No? Okay here's more. 

Once when Kohli explained his situation to Basu, the director cooperated and agreed to exchange his dates. So Basu gave his July dates of Barfee to Kohli and agreed to shoot his in September. Now while Shahid promotes his Mausam in mid-September, Priyanka will shoot for Barfee. 

Thus Priyanka's dates were also taken care of. In a way it was a relaxing time for Basu as he seemingly didn't have an easy time shooting the film. First with rumours of Priyanka and Ileana not getting along and then the film's Darjeeling schedule going haywire, had disturbed Basu a bit. 

When contacted, Kohli said, "We had to adjust dates as Mausam is now released on the September 16. These days an artiste needs time for publicity and Shahid was justified in that. So, we decided to shoot the UK portions in July but the hitch was Priyanka's dates which were with Basu. So, I just picked up the phone and called Basu with whom I share a good rapport. 

We didn't want to break the flow of the shoot. In fact, Shahid was keen to shoot the Punjab schedule but I insisted on the UK schedule as the weather is right. Now we will shoot the Punjab schedule after Mausam releases." 

Kohli further said, "Basu also needed some time for his prep and it all worked out well for all of us. I am touched by Basu's gesture. All it required was one phone call. If need be, I will also do the same for Basu."
