Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor are so besotted with each other that they don't miss a single chance to spend time with each other. As reported 'Khan-do anything' (HiTLIST, February 15). Saif certainly knows how to mix business with pleasure.
Last week, Saif made an appearance for a tea brand he endorses and asked them to put him up in a suite at the Taj Mahal Palace and Hotel, Colaba. Once there he called girlfriend Kareena over to spend some quality time with him.
Demand made
An insider reveals, "Brooke Bond's Taj Mahal tea brand had an event on February 11 and Saif, their brand ambassador, was the chief guest of the event held at Joss, Kala Ghoda. The event was at 3 pm and Saif, who is busy shooting for Kunal Kohli's untitled film in Alibag, insisted he wouldn't be able to make it on time. He asked the organisers to put him up at the Taj. They had no other option but to agree. They then got him a normal room at the hotel."
Suite talk
Adds the source, "Saif came to know that he was going to be put up in just another room in the hotel. He threw a fit and asked the event people to change it to a suite. Although there are four different kinds of suites in the hotel, it isn't clear which one was allocated to Saif, but he surely got his way in the end. After Saif got a confirmation from the coordinators, he called ladylove Kareena and the couple spent some time together cootchie-cooing. Saif's a big romantic and he throws up little surprises for Kareena in this manner."
Bebo joins in
An executive at the Taj Mahal Hotel says, "Representatives from Taj Mahal Tea contacted us and made necessary arrangements and we put Saif up at the Grand Luxury suite on Sunday night. After some time Kareena too joined him at the hotel and the two were seen spending some romantic moments together."
When contacted, Saif denied that Kareena was there with him, "I went to the hotel to change for the tea event as I came straight from Alibag where I was shooting for Kunal Kohli's film. And I was on my own. Kareena didn't join me there."
He apparently demanded a suite from the organisers to change. Saif laughs, "Utter rubbish! I don't need a suite to change my clothes. I was there for 20 minutes to change and I used a regular room."
