Kapoorthala

Theyre back together.  After a round of misunderstandings (which parivaar doesnt have them) its heartening to know that Babita and her two betis Karisma and Kareena are now on good terms with Randhir Kapoor.  The foursome have been spotted having cosy family dinners in Mumbai.    And the three women also stood by Dabboos side unwaveringly when he was scheduled to undergo heart surgery in Delhi.

And Lolo, in the new spirit of togetherness, presented both Dabboo and Babita  a luxury car each just to show how much she cares about them.

On Kapoor square

And now we hear, Kareena is seeing a lot of young Shahid Kapur of Ishq Vishk fame.  The two have been signed to play the lead in one of Ramesh Taurani's forthcoming ventures and ever since they signed the deal, they've been spending quality time with each other.

Even at sister Karisma's wedding Shahid was a  very specially looked after guest.  Everyone around knew that he was Bebo baby's  special mehmaan.

Come dance with me

If you thought it was only Hrithik Roshan who Kareena Kapoor was friendly with, heres news.

Hrithiks biwi Suzzanne is pretty close to Ms Kapoor too. When Suzzanne and Hrithik went dancing at the suburban nightclub Enigma the other night, guess who they spotted there? The Kapoor sisters, Lolo and Bebo. And when Suzzanne saw Kareena, she actually reached out to her and pulled her onto the dance floor.

On another occasion, Suzzanne and Kareena were seeing swingin away at Lush, the new hot night spot in town. Told ya these girls bond big time.

The Blame game

Karisma has now become Kapur. Her broken engagement to Abhishek Bachchan is now history. But the ever outspoken Kareena Kapoor still harbours some resentment on that score. Everyone knows how much Kareena adores Abhishek and how keen she was to see him marry her sister. Now, Bebo is apparently telling friends that though Lolo is now happily married to Sunjay Kapur,  she still finds it hard to forgive Jaya Bachchan ,who according to Bebo, is the one responsible for the engagement going kaput. All those who owe allegiance to the Bachchans are livid with Kareena and they feel this chit of a girl has no business bad-mouthing Jayaji.  A couple of staunch Bachchanites even wanted to confront Kareena but the dignified Mrs B stopped them from doing so.

Soy that

Manish Malhotras now designing restaurants too. He and designer Shabina Khan have done a slick job with Soy, just above that favourite filmi haunt, Shatranj Napoli.

The opening saw stars like Shah Rukh Khan with Gauri, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan and Suzzanne, Preity Zinta, Rani Mukerji, Sonali Bendre, Karan Johar, Farah Khan and Kareena Kapoor dropping by to wish him. Shahid Kapoor (when theres talk of Kareena, can Shahid be far behind?) was there too. 

Kareena walked up to Preity to tell her, I loved you in Kal Ho Naa Ho.  Then Kareena did one better by telling director Nikhil Advani too that she loved his film. Getting him to guzzle some more champagne. For all those who dont remember, Bebo was the original choice for Kal Ho Naa Ho.
