Kareena Kapoor’s dietician Rujuta Diwekar has come out with a book called Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight and Kareena Kapoor wrote a foreword for the book in which she has herself revealed her breakfast secrets that lead to her size zero figure.

“Rujuta has changed my perception towards diets and dieting. She has taught me to eat well, eat right and eat regularly. I started working with her around the time I started work on Tashan. The results are for all to see. My size zero became a topic of national interest. The media asked me if it was diet or exercise. It was a combination of both; 70% diet and 30% exercise-training and yoga,” writes Kareena in her foreword.

“Rujuta understands my work and lifestyle and has given me a diet totally customised to my needs. My diet on work days is different from my diet on shoot days. It even on varies on shoot days, like it is different if I have to dance or perform. The meal is planned according to my level of activity.”

“In Mumbai, my breakfast is muesli and milk or a chillah or parathas; no chai or coffee. While shooting for Tashan in Ladakh. I ate fresh fruit for breakfast and thukpas and momos for my other meals. I had pudina tea without milk. On the last day, I was allowed pizza as well. In Kerala, I had idlis and appams. In Italy it was risotto and pasta with gorgonzola; half portions though, not full.”

“I make sure I eat every two hours. My evening snack or meal is soy milk or a sandwich. Rujuta focuses on nutrition, not calories. Amazingly, she likes to keep the nutritional value of what you eat, as compared to the calories consumed, high. I have learnt what she means when she says, “be smart about food” and still enjoy what you eat. Now thanks to this book, you can (learn) too and I am sure you will find it good enough to eat,” signs off the svelte and gorgeous superstar.

A reputed newspaper conducted a survey amongst its readership, particularly the youth between the ages 18-25 in 10 major cities in India and Kareena Kapoor is the only actress that made it to the list of youth icons we have in 2009.

The list has biggies like Aamir Khan, Shahrukh Khan, M.S Dhoni, Rahul Gandhi and others. The top of the list are the NSG commandos that made India proud at the terror sites in Mumbai.

Coming back to Bebo, she shot up the popularity charts with her award-winning Jab We Met performance and of course later for her size zero. Her love affair with Saif Ali Khan also keeps her in the limelight… but…

Do you think she deserves to  be on the list of Youth Icons?

Kareena Kapoor has started showing off her Nawabi Masti now, considering chote nawab’s nawabipan has rubbed on her too. She turned down the offer to perform at the Screen Awards’ Finale.

The highlight of the show was supposed to be the act called Five Divas featuring the creme de la creme of Bollywood – Katrina Kaif, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone along with Kareena Kapoor. But Bebo is not exited about the act because she thinks she is just not ‘one of them’.

And Kareena doesn’t feel obliged to give any explanations about that while sources close to her reveal that she is just keeping up with her resolution of not performing at private parties and performing in select award functions.

Guess the other nawabs weren’t happy with Kareena’s naach-gana on stage that why she’s took up such a resolution.

Kareena Kapoor experienced the coldest night with her beau Saif Ali Khan while shooting in Philadelphia. The couple is otherwise quite cosy together but Kareena needed a whole lot of winter wear including jackets, shawls, boots and pullovers to keep warm while shooting for Karan Johar’s flick with Saif.

She said, “It was the coldest night of my life… You’ve no idea what it was like in that heavy snowfall with a unit of 80 people. But it looked like heaven.”

No points for guessing who made it ‘heavenly’ in such freezing cold for Kareena. The couple decided to keep shooting in such an extreme climate because they want to take a break from Christmas to New Year for Saif’s annual family bash at his ancestral home.

Kareena Kapoor has been appointed by the PepsiCo foods India as the new brand ambassador for its famous Kurkure range of snack foods.

Juhi Chawla had been the face of Kurkure for 5 years but she hasn’t been replaced by Kareena. Kareena will endorse Kurkure’s sub-range Desi Beats.

A source reveals,”Kareena, being the face of the young, Gen-Next India has been roped in to promote ‘Kurkure Desi Beats’. In fact the TVC has Kareena playing a character similar to popular story book character ‘Cinderella’.

She is shown as the maid of the house, while her stepsisters have all the fun. The ‘desi’ twist in the story is when singer Ila Arun comes to the rescue as her godmother.

She offers Kareena a packet of ‘Kurkure Desi Beats’ to spice up her life. The Englishmen and her stepsisters are having a boring dance, when ‘desi’ girl Kareena arrives in Indian attire and adds the much needed spark to the party. The ad film ends with the tagline – ‘No Fun, Without Desipann’.”

Thats our Desi Girl!

Saif Ali Khan feels life has never been so good, now that he has Kareena on his side. He suffered a mild heart attack in 2007 and now he is a completely changed man.

“My lifestyle has changed completely after the heart attack. Looking back it’s hard to believe I went through such a health scare. If it wasn’t for that life-changing experience, I wouldn’t be in a relationship with Kareena right now. I hardly drink. Don’t even look forward to drinking any more. I don’t smoke or party.”

So although they are officially yet to say Qubool Hai, Kareena is already an integral part of Saif’s family and Saif is an integral part of the Kapoor khandaan too.

“Yes, Kareena has been invited to Pataudi. It’d have been earlier, but it was too hot. Winter is when our family reunions happen every year. And Kareena is now part of the family. My parents are extremely fond of Kareena,” Saif.

“This relationship is ‘IT’ for me. Today I feel very settled and very happy. Though a bit lonely. And when I’ve bad days, I feel I’m being ungrateful. I’m now looking forward to settling down with Kareena. Our marriage will happen very shortly as soon as we both have a little less work on hand and we can give the marriage quality time. Also, her family has to be ready for our marriage,” he said.

Both of them are bonding well with each other’s family. Kareena has gone at lengths to make Saif feel that he is an integral part of her family too.

“We’re very close. She has been really gracious in inviting me into her family. She’s made sure I’m part of her family. I’ve also met Daboo uncle (Randhir) a few times, shared friendly drinks with him. As for Karisma, I think she’s the sweetest girl ever in the world. I’m deeply fond of both Karisma and her husband Sanjay (Kapoor). They’re truly wonderful people. Kareena’s family has taken to me as warmly as my family has taken to her,” Saif said.

Kareena Kapoor may still have 3-4 years more to go before she walks down the aisle and says Kubool Hai to Saif, but she is trying her level best to fit in to Saif’s family well in advance. She has bonded well with the Pataudis, Saif’s kids Sarah and Ibrahim also like her and guess who she is ready to break the ice with – Saif’s ex-wife Amrita Singh.

In an interview she revealed, “I respect the fact that Saif was married before and has two lovely children. I have been a fan of Amrita Singh. I haven’t met her ever but I know her through her films. For me, she’ll always have a place of importance in his life because she is Saif Ali Khan’s first wife and the mother of his children. And, I’ve told Saif this. I would want her to have that kind of respect always. This is what my parents have taught me. At the end of the day, it was just a marriage that didn’t work out. I have always encouraged Saif to be friends with her because I think that would be great. I guess they will just need time but that’s something that they would need to deal with. I will always respect her. As far as any other relationship of Saif is concerned, I don’t think they really mattered.”

Point taken Bebo!

Kareena Kapoor, in her new skinny avatar, was dismissed as anorexic by many. But look what Kareena has won herself – an admirer none other than Aamir Khan.

Aamir Khan who is known to keep to himself while shooting for his films apparently shared a great rapport with Bebo and they would have long conversations over fitness.

Aamir talking to a news daily exclaimed, “Kareena has a great body. She is a fitness freak and her devotion towards her workouts has definitely made an impact on me.”

Aila!

Kareena Kapoor, as she grows older, is being more and more candid with the media. In a recent interview, she was more willing to talk about things like her diet, Shahid, and Saif.

Kareena said she is now a better – calm and stronger person now. She said, “I’m a stronger girl now, far more at ease with myself than I was earlier. I’m doing things, which I want to.”

Talking about her break-up with Shahid Kapoor she said, “It was a very difficult perieod. Whatever went wrong between Shahid and me is very personal. I have always maintained that Shahid will always be a part of my life. But, we are better off as friends. There is no animosity… Some times there are no reasones for things that happen in life. Even if there’s one, I dont think its right to talk about it openly.”

Moving on to Saif, Kareena says he is her perfect man. “He is fun and extremely loyal. He has all the qualities which I always wanted in a man. He is also very supportive and gives me space.”

Marriage she says will happen in about 2-3 years time hopefully with Saif. Till then she just wants to be with him
