Kareena Kapoor has left no stone unturned when it comes to declaring her love for Saif, but at the moment, it is ex-beau Shahid Kapur who Kareena is thinking about.

According to reports, Kareena is unhappy with the budding romance between Shahid and Priyanka Chopra.

The report of Shahid Kapoor dating Priyanka Chopra disturbed Bebo and she ardently wants Piggy Chops out of Shahid’s life. Kareena and Priyanka were once upon a time best buddies and that’s why she knows her both personally and professionally and also knows very well that she is not going to last with Shahid lifelong.

Kareena had the opinion that as Priyanka has not yet declared her love for Shahid, she will dump him at anytime and move with some other guy. Kareena wants Priyanka out of Shahid’s life as soon as possible.

Now the question is whether Shahid will agree to Bebo and cut ties with Priyanka because years back Kareena has played the same game with him.

Cookie Vote – who is your favorite, Deepika or Asin?


It’s nice to hear that Deepika and Asin are buddies, so much so that they are constantly exchanging SMSes. Chalo, there are some actresses in the tinsel town who are friends and there are no cat fights between them. Touch Wood. These two beauties have things in common. They are both from the south and they are fond of their fathers. Asin is proud of Papa Joseph Thottumkal who is into business while Deepika is really proud of father Prakash Padukone who is the senior badminton player. These girls have a lot in common and they have a lot to share too. I guess they do not say bad things about other and they are happy in their own sweet world.

Amitabh Bachchan gets court notice on tax exemption

New Delhi, May 4 (IANS) Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan Monday got a notice from the Supreme Court on a plea challenging a judicial verdict allowing 30 percent tax rebate on his income to the tune of Rs.509 million in fiscal 2001-02.

A bench of Justice S.H. Kapadia and Justice Aftab Alam sought Bachchan's stand on the lawsuit by the union government's Income Tax Department.

The bench also asked the actor to account for his 2001-02 income and expenditure with appropriate proof and adjourned the matter for final hearing on Oct 28.

The case largely pertains to the actor's income from the popular TV game show 'Kaun Banega Crorepati' on Star TV.

The Bombay High Court had allowed the actor to avail the tax relief accepting his plea that as an artist he was entitled to the exemption as per section 80 RR of the Income Tax Act.

The Income Tax Department, however, challenged the high court ruling contending that section 80 RR of the IT Act grants tax rebates only to those artistes who earn either by performing outside the country or receive payment from foreign agencies.

The tax authorities have contended that the TV show was produced by Indian firm Star India Ltd. that renders him ineligible for the tax rebate.
