Guess what’s keeping Genelia D’Souza busy these days. Her workouts. The lady who was very laid back when it came to her workout sessions is more than serious about hitting the gym these days. she has hired a personal trainer, goes to a neighbourhood gym and is also trying to set up a workout space in the house she recently bought so that she can train at home. Now that she has found success in Bollywood, she doesn’t want to let her figure go, her friends say.
Gen may be making long-term plans to stick around in Bollywood, but that doesn’t mean she has bid goodbye to South Indian films. The industrywallahs in the South stood by her when she was rejected by Bollywood and Genelia still feels indebted to them, say sources. Although her managers and friends tell her to stay away from doing films down South (they think it’s akin to professional suicide), Genelia is busy listening to scripts by producers from South

Saif with Kareena's Sexy Record With 'Longest Kiss

Posted by SRINU GUNTURU | | Posted On at 1:27 PM

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan are all set to set the silver screen on fire with ‘longest Kissing scene’ in Bollywood history in their upcoming flick ‘Qurbaan’. And no prizes for guessing that the sequence would be as natural as possible given that the couple are madly in love with each other.

Their chemistry is so good that debutant director Rensil D’Silva is worried that the scene might overshadow the core content of the film – the storyline of a terrorist’s journey to atonement.

However, there is little the director could do as according to him the scene is absolutely necessary to the storyline even though its explicitness may cause a furor in a country where even talking about sex is still a taboo. Sometimes scenes that turned out to be great don’t necessarily make the director a happy person as is the case with this kissing sequence.

Asked about the prospect of breaking the record for the longest kissing sequence in Hindi films, held currently by Aamir Khan and Karishma Kapoor in Raja Hindustani, Rensil quipped ‘I don’t know, I wasn’t clocking the kiss or the length of the love making scene’ and I haven’t watched ‘Raja Hindustani’ either.

He also told that he knew Saif and Kareena as good professionals and that the scene came out so well because of their ‘comfort’ level.

What if some people choose to watch the film just for the scene? Though it won’t make a difference to the producers, Rensil feels it would be tragic’.

So how did he shoot the scene? Not surprisingly, the director and the cameraman are the only crew besides the actors to be present at the shoot. Rensil had an aesthetic experience shooting the scene and hopes that the audiences will go through the same experience.
