Kareena Kapoor refuses to share the stage with Shahid Kapoor

Since the time Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor parted ways, Boney Kapoor’s project ‘Milenge Milenge’ has been suffering setbacks. First, the film has been out rightly delayed.

 

 

Next, Boney Kapoor’s plans for shooting a promotional video for the film with Shahid and Kareena went berserk as Kareena went on her size-zero spree and the promoters of the film had to give up the idea. The promotional song had already been recorded with Himesh Reshammiya and as per the sources, now this song will be shot on Shahid and a new girl.

The latest headache for the producer has been the fact that Kareena has refused to come together and share the stage with Shahid Kapoor for the promotion of the film. She is ready to promote the film but sans Shahid.

The producers of the film are in a fix with Kareena’s unprofessional attitude. Dear Kareena, linkups or breakups, professional commitments should always come before personal preferences!

Famous Flamboyant Dancers

 

Say cabaret girls and images of sexy dancers like Helen and Bindu come across our minds. Let's have a look at some of the famous flamboyant dancers of the yesteryear.

Gauhar Khan is the new-age Helen to dance and she is all set to dance on the popular cabaret number 'Piya tu ab to aaja' in Ekta Kapoor's upcoming venture 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbai'. Raju Khan has been brought to do the choreography for what's touted as the most expensive cabaret ever shot in Bollywood.

The dream of many men, Kareena Kapoor has not just confined herself to be a good actress but also has tremendous oomph and appeal. Kareena Kapoor did a Helen act in the new 'Don' with her rigorous moves. But she could not match up to Helen in any way.
