Twinkle Khanna had done quite a few films at the beginning of her career which anyway did not give any boost to her stardom. When she tied knots with Khiladi Akshay Kumar nine years ago, she chose to keep a low profile and dedicated herself to marriage, family and her career as an interior designer. She was also spotted at some fashion events cheering her hubby Akshay Kumar, but never in these nine years have Akshay and Deepika worked together in a professional capacity as husband and wife. L’Officiel’s bridal special edition brings them together as a couple besides having a cover story on the couple. The L’Officiel photoshoot took place in London. Akshay and Twinkle have worn outfits from the Christian Dior fall/winter 2009 collection in the photoshoot. Check out the couple as they exude a sizzling chemistry during the photoshoot.

Kareena Kapoor is quite happy and satisfied with the way 2009 went by for her. Her love life was rocking as ever and so was her professional front. She feels especially proud of her performances in ‘Kurbaan’ and ‘3 Idiots’. “Both films are very precious to me. Kurbaan was intense, 3 Idiots was more fun. In 2010 I did films with all the Khans…. Salman, Aamir, Shahrukh (I had a song with him in Billu) and of course Saif.”
As the last section of the year was quite busy for her as it meant running around for the promotion of ‘3 Idiots’, she has taken a break and has flown to Delhi to be with her sister Karisma for New Years.
“I’ve been running around frantically promoting my film. And then I was ailing for a week. I decided I had to be well for the festive season. Christmas was a very special occasion for my mom and sister. But we never get to be together for the occasion. This time I was adamant. I made sure I took time off from work so that all of us girls could spend time together. My mom and I were here in Delhi to spend time with my sister and niece,” she says adding, “Karisma and I don’t get to spend that much time together. She has her home and husband in Delhi. My career takes me all over the place. Mom cribs we’re never together. This year-end reunion was something we had promised ourselves from long before.”
So appreciated was her chemistry with Aamir Khan, that the pair is in talks with two leading filmmakers including Mani Ratnam who is apparently all set to revive his Aamir-Kareena project Lajjo. AR Rahman and Gulzar have even recorded the songs.
And of course, she is also looking forward to ‘Ra 1′. Though she is not saying it yet, the buzz is that she has more or less signed on the dotted line for this Shah Rukh Khan starrer sci-fi super hero film which is being directed by Anubhav Sinha of ‘Dus’ fame.

There was a time when Rani Mukherjee was the reigning queen of Bollywood and any award function was incomplete without she bagging an award, but the scene is a bit different now and she has been missing critical acclaim for her performance since a long time. Even, ‘Dil Bole Hadippa’ could not do any magic to revive her sinking career. Nevertheless, she has bagged in the V Shantaram awards for best actress for ‘Dil Bole Haddipa’. Rani Mukherji said “Dil Bole Haddipa” was close to her heart because she had worked hard portraying a cricket crazy sikh boy and also learnt the sport. Check out Rani Mukherjee at the event.
