Was Kareena Kapoor’s Award Rigged? We Think So!

February 25, 08 by Ballz Bollywood!

After a night of strutting her stuff (well, the little that’s left of it!), Kareena Kapoor took home the trophy for Best Actress at Saturday night’s 53rd Filmfare Awards.

The painfully thin actress may have knocked us out with her effervescent performance as ‘’Geet’’, but her acting skills were at their finest when she pretended to be taken off guard by her award which was conveniently handed out by Saif Ali Khan.

“I didn’t need to open that envelope to tell who would win,’’ quipped Saif after announcing the winner. After throwing her arms around her beau and thanking him, Kareena recited her well-rehearsed speech:

“I need to thank a few people like director Imtiaz Ali, my co-star Shahid for giving me strength, my family, and Saif for giving me this award and making my night so special,’’ she said.

Ugh. With the rubbish they attempt to pull off on impressionable viewers, can you blame us for being convinced that most Bollywood awards are nothing but popularity contests?!

Said Ajay of his Valentine gift to Kajol; “Love isn’t about the gifts you give or receive. You may give ten thousand things to somebody, and yet not love that person enough and fool her by your generosity. ”

He added, “I believe that the little things I do for my family, I do out of love. That’s my gift to them,” as Kajol chimed in “What we try and celebrate every single day is not the You or the Me. It’s the Hum!”

Just days after her husband called her the most beautiful woman on earth, Aishwarya Rai gets personal with reporters, opening up about Abhishek Bachchan and even answering the burning question everyone has on their minds: ‘Just what on earth does she see in him?!’ Here are some highlights from a recent interview:

Aishwarya on the one thing she loves about Abhishek:
“It’s difficult to put it down to one thing. I just love him and that’s why I’m married to him.”

Aishwarya on who’s the more romantic of the two:
 “I really don’t know. We don’t get into all this. We are just very happy with each other and I think that in itself says a lot.”

Aishwarya on the most romantic thing Abhishek has done for her:
“Well, he proposed to me. To want to spend the rest of our lives together is by far the most romantic thing I could’ve experienced. It is very special, very real.”

Aishwarya on last Valentines Day:
“It was a very special time for us, as we were engaged. But it was quite hectic. I was shooting for Jodhaa Akbar and working full throttle. Going up and down to Karjat and knowing that marriage was not too far away, I was working at it all — completing the film and our marriage preparations.”

Kareena Kapoor celebrated her new romance with Saif Ali Khan by spending the night holed up in a hotel in Goa. The actress was reportedly over the moon after her lover boy whisked her away on a romantic trip to the city with sun kissed beaches and golden sands. The best part of it all was that their lovers tryst was completely unexpected. Said Kareena recently of her day: “I don’t think we will be able to meet on that day as I will be shooting for Golamaal Returns while Saif will be in Europe, so there will be no celebration.”

Meanwhile, Abhishek Bachchan had a little surprise of his own in store for his lady love. The 32-year-old took time off from shooting Dilli 6 in Jaipur  and hoped on a plane to Mumbai to be by his wife’s side on this special day. Asked what is the one thing she loved most about him, Ash gushed, “He’s all rolled into one — a fabulous actor, a great husband and an excellent friend. I love him. He is the best in everything he does or is.”

Editors note: I’d like to send a big shout out to my sweetheart without whom this site would not have existed. Not many folks get to have their best friend as their boyfriend. I have the luxury of both in one package. Thank you, Sid!In the words of 50 Cent  “I love you like a fat kid loves cake.” :)
