Shahid Kapoor in Karan Johor's next film
Shahid Kapoor in Karan Johor's next film
Just as the actor lands his first KJo project with Punit Malhotra, his Mausam co-star officially walks out of it. Bad weather forecast? Shahid Kapoor's single status seems to be working in his favour, especially for his professional life. The actor was slated to work on his first Dharma Production in 2005 in Karan Johar's Kaal. But due to the cold war between his then girlfriend Kareena Kapoor and KJo, Shahid reportedly opted out of the venture.
However, Mumbai Mirror has learnt that the actor has got himself a second chance at being a part of the KJo camp. A source from the production house revealed that Shahid has been roped in to replace Imran Khan in Punit Malhotra's next.
According to the source, Imran opted out of the film as he wanted to focus on Vishal Bhardwaj's Matru Ki Bijli Ka Mandola. And so, Karan Johar and Malhotra decided to cast Shahid in the film.
The source added, "Previously, Shahid was supposed to be a part of Soham Singh's directorial venture, Kaal. But at the last moment, he backed out of the film. Shahid was with Kareena back then and since she had a tiff with KJo about his decision to cast Preity Zinta in Kal Ho Na Ho instead of her, Shahid opted out for the sake of solidarity. And since then, he hadn't been offered a role in a Dharma Production."
Despite repeated attempts, Shahid Kapoor remained unavailable for comments.
Meanwhile...
Her debut film I Hate Luv Storys, directed by Punit Malhotra, has been the only hit of her career till date. And so, the news of Sonam Kapoor no longer being a part of the director's next has stirred up a whirlwind of rumours. A source close to the developments revealed to Mumbai Mirror that with Shahid being brought on-board the film, KJo was reluctant to pair them up again after the reception Mausam received.
The source explained, "Shahid recently confirmed that he would be a part of the film. Once that was decided, Karan and the unit felt that Sonam should not be a part of the film, especially since their last film Mausam did not do well at the box-office. It was evident that their on-screen pairing did not work for the film and so, the makers did not want to repeat the same mistake. As a result, the filmmakers are in search of a new leading lady."
However, a friend of Sonam defended, "Sonam had opted out of the film a long time ago. Ever since Imran decided to concentrate on Vishal Bharadwaj's film, Sonam too opted out."

Shahid Kapoor saves Priyanka Chopra life
However Kunal denies that a near-stampede took place, "No, that's not true. There were no untoward incidents. Fortunately, we had the support of the local police and we had our own security. We definitely had to tighten the security to manage the crowds."

He rescues his ex girlfriend from a mob!
He rescues his ex girlfriend from a mob!
Being an on-again, off-again boyfriend to a pretty woman is a difficult job. Ask Shahid Kapoor. When the actors were in a relationship, he would constantly pretend that he was single and rubbish all rumours. He also had to carefully plan his amorous trysts with the former Miss World so that they wouldn’t be caught by the media’s roving eye. But despite their break-up, it seems Shahid has a huge soft spot for his former lady love. Or perhaps he was just playing the gallant knight in shining armour. Whatever be the reason, Shahid proved he truly cares about Priyanka when he protected her from a mob of over 30,000 fans recently!
According to an eyewitness, thousands of fans turned up at the Daulatabad Fort, where Shahid and Piggy Chops were both shooting for Kunal Kohli's upcoming film titled ‘Teri Meri Kahaani.’ As time passed, the crowd, anxious to catch a glimpse of the stars became so uncontrollable that it led to a stampede.
The source added that the setting of green hills, lakes, the historic fort and the presence of the young, charming actors resulted in a frenzy with over-eager fans trying to get close to the gorgeous Ms Chopra.
Priyanka started getting a bit jittery when Shahid, like a protective lover, swooped her up and took her away from the crowd. When director Kunal Kohli (‘Break Ke Baad,’ ‘Hum Tum’) was approached for comment he denied the incident altogether and said he was too busy filming the movie to notice anything that happened outside the sets.
Well we don’t know about Kunal but we do know one man who has his constant attention on Priyanka and is ready to put himself in harm’s way to keep her safe!

Supriya wants to marry Shahid Kapoor
Supriya wants to marry Shahid Kapoor
The world would come to an end on December 21, 2012! This is what the ancient Mayans would have us believe, having had predicted this thousands of years ago. Almost all scoff at such predictions and rightly so. However, there are some who harbour thoughts of what they would like to do before the end comes. Ludhiana, Times of India checks out the wish list of some Ludhianvis
Model Town: Owning a BMW, earning about Rs 50,000 in an MNC, marrying Shahid Kapoor and touring Australia and Canada in style are somethings Supriya Mahajan is hoping to do before doomsday. But that's not all, the 22-year-old also wants to use her final months - if the world were to after all end soon - educating villagers against child marriage.
Daughter of Arya Bhanu Mahajan, who is working with Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL), and school teacher Sumita, Supriya said she has never been to a village but it irritates her that girls are forced to dropout from school and get married. "If the world has to end in 2012, I want to make villagers around Ludhiana allow their daughters to study instead of marrying them off at very young age. History stands witness about the contribution of women in India's success story," she said.
On a whim, the Model Town-resident would love to marry Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor because he is cute, innocent and boyish. "I liked him in 'Vivah' and 'Mausam'. I like Imran Khan also but since he is already married he is off my list," said Supriya, quickly adding that she knows it's a wild desire and eventually she will marry the one her parents pick for her.
A student of masters in business management at Gujranwala Guru Nanak Institute of Management and Technology (GGNIMT), Supriya also wants to work with a company like Reliance and earn big bucks so that she can live life king size. BMW is her favourite brand of automobiles and she wishes to have one for herself before meeting doomsday. "It looks great and is comfortable inside. I would love to take my husband for a ride in the car,'' she said.
Going for luxury tours to Australia and Canada are also high on her list of things to do because she has heard a lot about the two countries' scenic beauty.

Shahid is Priyanka's 'teen janmon ka premi
Shahid is Priyanka's 'teen janmon ka premi
Abid, Glamsham Editorial
Normally we talk about 'saat janmon ka pyaar' (love of seven lives/birth) but in case of Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra it's a 'teen janmon ka pyaar' (love of three lives/birth)!
Well, if you think that we are indulging in third rate yellow journalism, you are wrong as your favourite site does not believe in that. So, please read on.
Actually we are talking about Kunal Kohli's yet untitled film starring Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor. As per our sources, in Kunal's film Priyanka meets her lover, essayed by Shahid Kapoor, in three different lives ('janams'). So, as we had said it's a love of three lives between Shahid and Priyanka.
Well, that sure is an interesting concept and also explains the three looks of Shahid Kapoor in the pictures being circulated in the web world, and should also douse the curiosity of all those who were speculating about Kunal Kohli's film being a three generation story!
