Devasted Karishma breaks down on Nach Baliye 4 sets

January 27th, 2009

Karishma Kapoor has always known to be a calm and composed actress. But she surprised everyone present on the sets of Nach Baliye 4 by becoming very emotional. It is learnt that after watching the performance of her favourite contestants, the actress became so upset with their performance that she started weeping. So much so that she could not control herself for a long time.

Our unit sources inform, "Very recently contestants, Shaleen & Daljeet planned to perform a dance on skates and since they were not attuned to the sport but managed to learn it in just four days. When they wore the skates the judges were really anticipating and were hoping to see rocking performance by the duo especially our judge Karishma Kapoor. Karishma always appreciates good dancers and is really fond of the couple as they always try to do something innovative. But alas the couple was not in their best form this time and their performance was rated as an average performance. The judges were totally shocked and disappointed to see this kind of performance coming from the duo at this critical point."

"More than her co-judges Farah Khan and Arjun Rampal, Karishma appeared more devastated. When her turn came to comment on the dance she said that she was very shattered and felt like crying. She went on to add that they have always entertained her throughout but it was foolish of them to do something like this. Karishma then broke down on the sets. She could not continue her comments. The shoot was halted for 15 - 20 minutes. Every one was aghast on such a sudden emotional outburst of Karishma Kapoor. The jodi was also upset and ran to hug Karishma to soothe her. She took time to regain her composure." concludes the source.

Kareena to build special school

January 17th, 2009

It was a dream project of Raj Kapoor, and granddaughter Kareena Kapoor has taken the onus on her shoulders to turn it into a reality.

The actor is currently hunting for a prime plot to construct a school for special children. This is the first time that a reigning Bollywood star is constructing such a school and will be built in Mumbai without any aid from the government or an NGO.

Though Kareena might accept technical and expert support from NGOs working in this field, she plans to build the school with her own money. Sister Karisma is also pulling in her resources to help Kareena lick this project into shape.

According to sources, "Kareena and Karisma want the school to come up in the next couple of years but it all depends on how fast they are able to zero in on the land. She needs a couple of acres in a good location. She is determined to put in as much money as it takes. She has set aside Rs15 crore for the land."

Kareena has been talking about "this dream" of hers after watching Aamir Khan's Taare Zameen Par but she has never spoken about it publicly. She had earlier evinced an interest in a Yoga training centre but now wants to put all those plans on hold for this school.

"It's true that I want to build a school for special children. I also want to have something for underprivileged children as well. I can't go into details yet as there is a lot of work that needs to be done on this front," says Kareena.

In all probability, the school will be named after Raj Kapoor.
