A STAR NOT SHINING? Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor's career graph looks quite bleak lately, as she has been dropped from most of her projects unceremoniously (TOI)
It's been almost a year since Kareena Kapoor signed a new project. She has been replaced in all her films that she had signed earlier. The actress, though, refuses to believe that she is out of work. In an earlier interview to Mumbai Mirror , she stated, "I am Kareena Kapoor, and I know that even if I sit home for a year I will get work. I just want to take time off. I have done enough."
Kareena might be living in her own paradise, but in reality the actress is out of work. It is evident from the fact that she has been unceremoniously dropped from all her projects. She has been replaced in Kismet Talkies after Hrithik Roshan
refused to work with her, then she walked out from Harry Baweja's Love Story 2050 because she wanted to work with Shah Rukh Khan in Ram Gopal Varma's Time Machine .
Unfortunately, Ramu decided to shelve the film after he had a fall-out with Shah Rukh Khan.
Thereafter, Kareena made a conscious effort to get back into Karan Johar's camp and finally they agreed to work with each other. Kareena was signed for Tarun Mansukhani's film opposite Abhishek Bachchan, but she was again replaced by Karan Johar because Bachchan Jr didn't want to work with Kareena Kapoor, or anyone else from ex-flame Karisma Kapoor's family.
"Kareena called Karan and spoke to him at length about this film. But Karan seems to be caught in a crossfire. He can't afford to upset Abhishek Bachchan by pleasing his friend Kareena. It seems that Kareena is really upset with Karan, though she refuses to admit it in public," says our source.
Thereafter, she signed Shyam Benegal's Chamki Chameli , but due to some creative conflict, she was replaced by Urmila Matondkar. In fact, Madhur Bhandarkar had offered her Konkona Sen Sharma's role in Page 3 which she had refused, and later on she also turned down Shyam Benegal's film because she thought that she was not mature enough to play that role.
When we contacted Shyam Benegal, he refused to comment, stating that it's too early to talk about the project. In fact, Kareena had signed Mani Ratman's film Lajjo with Aamir Khan and she even lost weight to fit the character's profile.
But Mani has had some problem with Aamir Khan and the film has been postponed till the time they can both work amicably with each other.
The last time Kareena made an appearance on-screen was for Farhan Akhtar's Don with Shah Rukh Khan. She had also agreed to do an item number in Lovely Singh's debut movie Kya Love Story Hai , which was produced by NR Pachisia. Kareena agreed to do an item song
in Lovely's film because their friendship goes back a long way since Mujhe Kuch Kehna Hai days.
"It seems that Kareena isn't any director's favourite actress anymore. She is talented and gorgeous, but she has been rude to a lot of people. She is not a popular star anymore. It's a pity that her career is coming to a sudden end," our source said.
However, we still believe that Kareena will make a comeback and that she will overcome this lull in her career.

and kareena's reply
Forever Kareena
Kareena Kapoor called us mighty upset after reading the article on her in Mumbai Mirror (Where Does She Go from Here?, April 4). The actress, who was voted by her peers as one of the most stunning stars, at the recent Filmfare awards show, strenuously denied that her career was going through a lull. Though she refused to elaborate what her forthcoming projects were, she did promise us that there was plenty to look forward to from her. "How can you talk about me as if I am a has-been? I am Kareena Kapoor." Spoken like a Bebo! We can't wait to watch one of our favourite actresses light up the screen.
