Basu claims that she was harassed by organizers of the controversial 2006 India Day Parade in Edison, New Jersey. Organizers are now saying that they will sue Bipasha for breach of contract for not participating in the event and alleging harassment.
Kapoor’s only release in 2007 was the romantic comedy hit Jab We Met opposite Shahid Kapoor. Directed by Imtiaz Ali, the film tells the story about two people with contrasting personalities meeting each other on a train and how they learn to deal with the situations they face in life. Kapoor played the female protagonist Geet Dhillon, an annoying talkative Sikhni girl from Bhatinda who lives life to the fullest. The film was well received by critics and Kapoor’s performance was praised in particular. Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN noted, “Uninhibited and spontaneous, Kareena Kapoor is the soul of this picture, its biggest strength, as she brings alive her character with not just those smart lines, but with the kind of candor actors seldom invest in their work. I can’t think of a greater compliment to pay her than to say with full confidence that no actress could play Geet better than Kareena has.”
As of November 2007, Kapoor is currently working on Vijay Krishna Acharya’s forthcoming film Tashan. Her other confirmed future projects include the animated movie Roadside Romeo, as well as Golmaal Returns, the sequel to the 2006 comedy film Golmaal. Kapoor was also cast as the lead in Sabir Khan’s upcoming romantic drama Kambakht Ishq.
Kareena Kapoor is at an All Time High. She has a slew of big banner movies lined up in the next 6 months. The 27 year old Bollywood actress is also looking very hot and she probably will have a great 2008 coupled with her hot looks and big budget movies…
