Shahid Kareena sizzle on NB
If anyone was expecting any fireworks when Shahid and Kareena came face to face on the sets of Nach Baliye, they were sorely disappointed. The ex lovers seemed more than comfortable in each other's company as they spent time together on the NB sets promoting their upcoming film Jab We Met.
First to arrive was Kareena who spent hours waiting for Shahid to arrive on the sets by chatting with her best pal Amrita Arora who was also expected to perform on Kareena's latest hit number It's Rocking.
Once Shahid arrived, the two stars came face to face directly at the start of the actual filming of the upcoming episode. However, once the filming began we all got a taste of why these two are considered one of the better actors of the industry.
The following opening act shows Shahid and Kareena introducing themselves as the hosts of the Saturday's elimination episode of Nach Baliye:
Shahid: Hi this is Shahid Kapoor and those who are Hussain's fan have to take a little break as I have come here to promote my film Jab We Met and with this sizzling and hot host one girl is standing who seems like foreigner. What is your name ma'm? Are you Indian by any chance?
Kareena: Shahid you do this every time! Hi this is Kareena Kapoor and Happy Navrati to all of you from me.
Shahid: Happy Navratri from both of us. I came to know that like my film the show is also filled with fun loving people like me and it has all the emotions and drama which exactly suits to Bebo. This film is very close to my heart as Imtiaz offered me this film after my non working 6 months at home. But jokes apart, I think after Ishq Vishq, this is the first film which can actually connect to youngsters and has situations of real life. Most importantly it is first time that we are playing lovers.
Kareena: Come on Shahid fun loving and you! In fact I am more fun loving than you. This is the first time I am playing a sikhni from Bhatinda. I am playing a very bubbly character and it was good to play such a character after playing serious characters in Omkara and Refugee. The character of Geet is very close to my heart.
Shahid: This love story is like a combination of pizza and Pani Puri.
Kareena: I am soft like pizza and Shahid is tikha like Pani Puri.
Shahid: No in fact I am like pizza as I can stretch myself better and Kareena is tikhi like Pani Puri.
Shahid: Kareena is a very honest person so she will give better description of the iodis.
Kareena: I think Pooja and Hanif are most graceful couple and Rakhiji I want to give you a standing ovation.
Shahid: My black hair has become brown because of dance and how can I give comments to the jodis as high command has already given them marks and comments.
Kareena: But Shahid has prepared a speech for all of you which he has kept on table and going to read it now.
Shahid: Yes I have prepared a speech and I think tum sab log meri band bajake hi chodoge. But I think Pooja and Hanif are the most good looking couple. I like the concept of Karan - Kavita's dance. Kash and Krushna are fantastic. Aamir is my friend and I think he is a chupa rustam. Amita – Karan are experimenting with their performances which is good according to me. Alexx is having full potential to become an Indian hero now. Rakhi's performance was smashing she just took away the show completely.
And if this camaraderie wasn't enough one of the best part of the episodes was when Vaibhavi, Ishaa and Kareena had to judge all the male contestants. So Shahid and David left the judges panel and told that "it is shameful for us to sit there so we will join female contestants at jodi box."
Vaibhavi said that she is not going to give 30 marks to any body as only her baliye deserves that. At this point Shahid quickly poked fun at Kareena by saying "See Kareena and Ishaa you should learn something from Vaibhavi."
Being the sikhni that she plays in Jab We Met, Kareena immediately responded "Shahid you really want me to give you marks on rate-o meter?" and Shahid conceding defeat quietly said "No I am very fine over here and you carry on your work."
Towards the end we had the real host of the show, Hussain back on the sets. He asked Shahid to rate Kareena as a person. And Shahid in his true chocolate boy image said "I only have two hands and that is why I am giving her 50 marks out 50." And Kareena who wasn't going to be left out of the equation said "But I think 50 are not enough for Shahid and not even 100.He is the best." In the end both Kareena and Shahid announce the Jodi which is survived in the show and performed the song Mauja Mauja from their film.
Now if only all ex lovers could be such good friends?
On Wednesday night Saif and Kareena came out in the open and admitted that they were in a happy relationship. And although it was Saif who did the talking, Kareena chose to remain mum on the topic of her current and recent ex love. But for those who were recently on the sets of Nach Baliye where Kareena and her now ex-boyfriend Shahid had come to promote their upcoming film Jab We Met, the interaction and body language of the two was like any other couple.
Before the shoot Kareena was ready but chose to sit and chat with her best friend Amrita and her boyfriend Usman in Kareena's vanity van as she waited for Shahid to arrive.
"Both me and Shahid are excited about the show. We have come here to promote our film Jab We Met. I heard that they are going to perform on our song mauja mauja. I am not going to perform but I am sure that Shahid will shake a leg. This is the first time that I am coming in any dance based reality show. I want to see much of dance and performance in this show rather than anything else," she said before filming.
Soon Shahid arrived on sets and there were a few moments of awkward tension but that was only till the two got ready to get on stage together before the cameras. Shahid reached first on the stage but made sure that he waited for Kareena to come and then went on the stage together his leading lady. Before the actual shoot both Kareena and Shahid were remembering their lines and David joked with them saying that "you better remember the lines quickly otherwise you know I am director so I will shout at you."
Once the filming began everything was forgotten. The two stars interacted with everyone on and off stage. Rakhi's choreographer Pratap Shetty was teasing and chatting with both Shahid and Kareena during the entire shoot. In between on special request from Vaibhavi, Kareena showed some dancing skills to all. Then Shahid started teasing Kareena about her high heeled sandals and how was looking too short. Kareena started laughing and interacting with him after that.
Shahid was seen chatting to Kareena's make up man and spot boy as well. However as soon as the couple settled down on the judges' chairs they started chatting with each other again. Shahid garnered support for himself from all the jodis on set and then jokingly told Kareena that "I have created support for myself from the left now it is your turn and you have to create it from right."
Shahid –Kareena continued chatting with each other and their interaction was never ever doubtful. When Kareena gave Shahid's character 100 marks and told that not only his character but Shahid as a human being deserved much more than 100, Shahid then asked for retake as his marks was no where near Kareena's.
One of most talked about moment on the set came later. Before the elimination of the jodi, Shahid and Kareena suddenly left the judges' panel together and have believed to have shared a cup of coffee in Shahid's van. While going towards exit Shahid was teasing that our couple has been eliminated from the show. They spent about 20 minutes outside and had coffee together before they re-joined the shoot again and enjoyed the rest of the evening.
In end Shahid asked Kareena to dance on mauja mauja and Kareena was more than happy to oblige him. After the elimination Shahid and Kareena were shooting some promotional footage when we heard Shahid calling out "Hurry up Bebo we have to finish it fast."
So for most onlookers the couple were behaving and looking still in love with each other. But soon thereafter came two very different announcements – Shahid was seen admitting that he was very much single on another reality show while Saif and Kareena also made sure that they made their relationship public.
Considering the interaction between Bebo and Shahid on set one can only say that in this case maybe ex lovers can be good friends... well at least till their film releases!
