Saif wants Kareena to watch Retro movies

Saif Ali Khan is giving Kareena Kapoor a lesson in film appreciation. The junior nawab of Pataudi, whose taste in films is exquisite, was last heard telling his girlfriend to pick up good retro films.

Besides asking her to see the regular classics like Casablanca,Breakfast at Tiffanys and Gone With the Wind, Saif got Bebo a bunch of Marlyn Monroe flicks like Some Like It Hot and The Seven Year Itch. He also was busy recommending the 1965 thriller How to Murder Your wife. Kareena was last seen curling up on her drawing room couch all set for a retro film festival of her own. And where was Saif ? Well he was around...asking his lady love if she needed popcorn and a diet soda. Wah kya baat hai!

SRK cares a damn!

Kuch toh log kahenge, logon ka kaam hai kehna... thus went a song in the film ‘Amar Prem’, stating the fact that people will talk, but let it not affect you in any way negative. And one person who truly cares a damn about what people say or think of him is Shah Rukh Khan.

SRK returned to hosting Filmfare Awards this year with Saif Ali Khan and though the awards were aired on 7th March, news channels were talking about the return of the hit hosts. Some channels even highlighted the cheap jokes that are so much a part of SRK-Saif script. But did that deter the Khan? Not really, for once at the Filmfare stage, he was the same old guy who loves to pull people’s legs.

In fact, he didn’t even refrain from taking a dig at the whole hullabaloo about his cheap jokes at the awards night. SRK posted on a social networking site, “I asked my team if the Filmfare jokes were too cheap. They said recession just receding sir, can’t afford rich ones.”

And while many may think twice before making any rude comment on a public platform and ruining their image, King Khan begs to differ. The actor feels, “Many say be careful not to damage your image. Images are meant to be created, broken, torn, re-built. The real should not be damaged is what I believe.”

Now with that wisdom in his head, why would SRK care about what people talk.
