Ballz Bollywood! Hot news and gossip of your favorite Bollywood celebrities!

There was a time when wide hips and thick thighs were attractive in Bollywood (to put it lightly). Luckily we’ve come a long way since then, but has the obsession with weight and diet gone too far? The pressure for actresses (and actors!) to get thin and stay thin is the source of an alarming trend.

Not too long ago, Kareena Kapoor came under the intense scrutiny for her dramatic weight loss, in a very short period of time. She looked fab for a while and then slowly started withering away. There’s slim and then there is dangerously thin, and we’re not sure if Kareena knows where to draw the line.

According to a source, the actress who sports a bikini in Tashan, her next big film, was so hell bent on looking perfect in the two-piece swimsuit that she literally starved herself before the scene was shot in Greece.

But the gruelling film schedule and an orange juice-only diet look its toll and, Kareena who weighs less than 48 kgs, passed out and fell to the floor, causing her old man to worry.

“I have told her to stop the ‘diet business,’ says Randir Kapoor. “She has become quite thin and must not lose more weight, but Bebo tells me that I should go on a diet because I am terribly overweight. Now what you can you say to that!”

In a recent interview with BT, Saif Ali Khan expresses his dislike with the media for labelling him and his new lover ‘The New Brangelina’, because it’s obviously a stretch to compare Saif & Bebo to those hypocritical, cheating, lying, bed-hopping, publicity hogs!

A few highlights from the actor’s brilliant interview:

Saif on being extremely open about his relationship with Kareena: “I don’t know if we have been particularly open but I don’t believe in being hypocritical, lying and hiding things. Nor do I believe in shouting from the rooftop. But I’d like people to know how seriously I take my relationship in order for them to take it seriously. I don’t want any kind of speculation about whether it’s on or not, that kind of filmi rubbish is not my scene. When I have someone in my life, why would I need to promote the image of being a single, available man? ”

Saif on whether they were married in a hush-hush wedding: “When marriage happens, I will share it with everyone. I don’t believe in doing things behind closed doors.”

Saif on wearing his heart on his sleeve: “I don’t consciously do that but it always tends to end up there, on my sleeve. And I love the way I wear it. I wouldn’t have it in any other way. ”

Saif on whether his family has met Kareena: “Yes, my parents think she is a wonderful girl.”

Saif on the two being described as the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of India: “I think we are much cooler. We are Saif and Kareena of the world, not the Brad and Angelina of India.”

Saif on what drives him, love or work: “Love, more than anything. Work is an integral part of it. In order to sustain love you need to work. I am doing that. ”

Saif on perhaps keeping his personal life out of the media: “I give a damn to what anybody thinks. That’s how I have always been. I’m in love and proud of it. ”

With Kareena Kapoor’s career on the upswing, it seems like sister Karisma is feeling a bit left out and wants some attention of her own now. 

The once famous actress has stayed out of the spotlight since her wedding to businessman Sanjay Kapoor. But with her sisters face splashed on billboards and every magazine across the country, Karisma is looking to regain her crown as the more skinnier popular of the two. 

She’s been looking at scripts and has supposedly signed up for the Hindi remake of a Tamil film, June R, by South director Revathi Varma.

Her insecurity could stem from the fact that her marriage has long been crumbling. While she was still hot, Karisma had moved to Delhi and taken a complete break from Bollywood to be with her man. However things soured between the two, after Karisma started getting a bit too bossy and demanded that Sanjay move to Mumbai on a permanent basis.

Although things have improved between the couple, the actress has made Mumbai her and daughter, Samaira’s base while Sanjay reportedly visits them from time to time.

Coincidentally (or not), June R tells the tale of a special bond between a mother and a daughter. 
 

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 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?!

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.”
