Masala Figures

Kareena Kapoor's lovemaking scene in Kurbaan with her boyfriend Saif Ali Khan has been the talking point for months on end. Even on their recent show Date with Kurbaan on national television, Karan Johar who is the producer of the film asked Kareena pointblank whether she would have done such an intimate scene with any of her other male co-stars. And Kareena replied that she may have done it but it wouldn't be quite as explicit as it is now.She also said that the reason why she agreed to do it was because it was integral to the script and that she was happy that director Rensil D'Silva had done it so aesthetically. She added that knowing Saif in real life made things just a wee bit easy. “But at the end of day, Saif and I are professional actors and would do whatever a script demands from us,” she said.
Having said all this, one would have thought that the reigning Bollywood diva would be blasé about the whole affair. However, news has it that after watching the cast and crew trial of Kurbaan at Yash Raj Studios on November 12, Kareena, who was very nervous about the bare-back scene, actually put in a request to her friend and film-maker Karan Johar asking him to delete the lovemaking scene in just the one show which would be attended by her mother Babita and her friends.
A nervous Bebo wasn't sure how her mother would react to seeing her do something so bold on-screen. She admitted that she was indeed nervous of her mother's reaction. “I asked Karan if he could hide that one reel only from mom's trial,” said the young actress.
However, Karan is said to have pacified his lead actor and told her she has no reason to be afraid.


Karan is also said to have told her in jest, “Shut up Bebo, and go take a walk. I'm doing no such thing.”
Kareena is of course in Sydney at this point shooting for Karan's Step Mom with Kajol. But those close to her say that right till the time she boarded her flight, the thing that topped her mind was how her immediate family would react to this one scene in Kurbaan.
Guess the physical distance between Mumbai and Sydney will help ease Bebo's nervousness.
