Chalo Panjim. He’s shooting for a travel bag ad, and for once he’s bereft of companions. All there and smiling in the sunny, bebinca ambience, he hops into a car to speed along the seafront. So here’s Shahid Kapur in a feni-‘n’-games chatteroo with Nikhil Taneja who returns home from Goa with his teetotaller reputation intact.. hic?

A Viewer Letter to Dear Vidya Balan:-

Hi Vidya You look like an aunty in Kismat Konnection. Please lose 15 or 20 pounds stat. Your “hum paanch” days are over. Lay off the mishti doi and the kala kand will ya? Just sayin’

Also, Shahid Kapur can’t do climactic argument scenes. That hair is annoying. [At least he has hair right?]

Vidya Balan, who is Shahid’s good friend and also his co-star in “Kismet Konnection”, says she has never worked with an actor as hardworking as Shahid. The actress has gone totally gaga over Shahid’s commitment towards everything he does.

“Shahid is the most unselfish co-star I have ever come across as well as a very disciplined and talented actor. He puts in so much of hard work in his performance that it in a way inspires you to work harder and I respect him for that,” says the actress.

Bollywood heartthrob, Shahid Kapoor is the talk of the town these days, not for his recent movie but for his love triangle with co-star Vidya Balan and tennis star Sania Mirza.

Thunder thighs, Sania Mirza recently spent good eight hours with chocolate boy Shahid Kapoor on the sets of Kaminay which is being directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.

An onlooker reveals, “It was a 7 am shift. Sania and Shahid did not come together, but once Sania dropped by, Shahid and Sania were almost inseparable. What was surprising was that they were very open about their relationship. Their body language said it all. When Shahid was not facing the camera, he spent all his time with Sania. Sania spent a lot of time with Shahid in his vanity van.”

Vidya Balan and Shahid Kapoor, said to have enjoyed great rapport during the making of ’Kismat Konnection’, are now not on talking terms.Their friendship ended with the release of the film, which got a lukewarm response at the box office.

’Vidya and Shahid have not talked to each other after wrapping up the shooting of the film,’ said a source close to the production team of the film.’They share a formal relationship and act more like colleagues in an office. The duo were seen at the premiere, but they were hardly talking to each other,’ added the source.

A cheering crowd of fans greeted Shahid Kapoor and Vidya Balan at the red carpet premiere of Kismat Konnection in the Capital on Friday night. And although the lead pair has been feverishly denying any romantic connection off the screen, everyone was asking them the million-dollar-question first up.

“It’s my private space, we are good friends, beyond that if people are going to write, there is not much one can do about it,” stated Shahid

Vidya too made it clear that there was no romance in the air.

After the successful run of Goal and Race in Pakistan, UTV and Eveready Pictures combination is back with yet another offering for Bollywood cinema’s most rapidly growing overseas market.

This time its Aziz Mirza’s, Kismat Konnection that released across Pakistan. A red carpet premiere was held at Karachi’s Nishat cinema to mark the event.

“Kismat Konnection has done very well. It’s had a bigger opening than Race. This is our third film with UTV and it’s our hatrick hit we could say. My exhibitors are calling this film Kismat collection, so we are obviously very happy that we’ve given Pakistan another fantastic film to watch,” said Tanya Anand, Executive Director Eveready Pictures.

The term ‘meteoric’ and ‘kismat’ are often used to describe the career paths of film actors. It is usually inaccurate, ignoring a plethora of dodgy TV shows and unwatchable movies made while the subject gradually and painfully learns their craft. With Vidya Balan though, meteoric and kismat are absolutely on the nail. Within a mere three years of her feature debut Parineeta, she has now become one of the most sought-after actresses in Bollywood. More importantly perhaps, she is already one of the most compelling, convincing and adaptable actors around. In this exclusively long chat us, Vidya recalls her past with Vidhu Vinod Chopra, her present with Aziz Mirza, her future with Shahid Kapoor and of course, lots more about Kismat Konnection.
