News of an MMS clip, showing a lookalike of actor Kareena Kapoor changing her clothes has actor boyfriend Shahid Kapur livid. But he tells Bombay Times that his vacation with Kareena in Bali will continue unaffected.
Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor is once again in the eye of the storm. And this time, it's because of news of an MMS that has a lookalike of the actor changing her clothes. Kareena who's currently vacationing in Bali with boyfriend Shahid Kapur, however, is not aware of the clip. "We are not aware of any such clip, so, we can't comment on it," says Shahid, who's making sure that it does not spoil their vacation. "We are not affected by such pathetic stuff. Such acts are simply disgusting and products of some really sick minds. I don't want to make it an issue. It's too pathetic to be commented on, but it would be nice if they left Kareena alone," he adds.
Moving beyond, the actor's looking forward to 2006 and is excited about being paired opposite Kareena in three films. "It's exciting to work with her, not only because we share a great comfort level, but also because Kareena's a great co-star." Undeterred by the fact that their earlier film Fida did not set the box office on fire, Shahid is optimistic. "In Fida, we were on opposite ends.
But, the forthcoming films Milenge Milenge, 36, China Town and Khatta Meetha will see us together as a couple very much in love. That's where the chemistry will be seen."
Isn't he wary of the fact that filmmakers are only trying to cash in on their off-screen relationship? "All the directors we are working with are thorough professionals. They wouldn't cast us together only because we are a couple. Our being a couple is only an added."
Giving tough competition in the number game is Amrita Rao, who's already starred with Shahid in three films including their debut Ishq Vishk and more recently in Vaah! Life Ho To Aisi.
"We are paired together in Sooraj Barjatya's Vivaah also, so that makes it four," quips Shahid. A dearth of leading ladies? "Filmmakers don't have too much of an option, when it comes to casting opposite me, because most of them are much older. It's my loss," he laughs.
And is he wary of the fact that Kareena will soon be starring with Hrithik Roshan? "No, why should it worry me? Both Hrithik and Kareena are thorough professionals."
