It seems like Kareena Kapoor is still not done with ex beau Shahid Kapoor. After dumping him almost a year a go Bebo is making sure that Shahid is never cast opposite her.

Director Imtiaz Ali who had Kareena and Shahid in his hit Jab We Met wanted to cast the lead pair again in his coming movie. Kareena expressed her discomfort working with Shahid and asked Imtiaz to replace him with someone else. Akshay Kumar was offered the role and he happily accepted.

It may be recalled that not too long ago Kareena was upset with Imtiaz when he had cast Deepika Padukone opposite her beau Saif Ali Khan in his next movie. Saif wanted Imtiaz to cast Kareena but the director declined in what will be Saif's home production. To appease Kareena Imtiaz had promised to cast her in his next movie. It seems Kareena just doesn't want to be in the same frame as Shahid. On his part Shahid has time and again maintained that he has no issues working with Kareena.

No one could anticipate that a star-studded birthday party of Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif would turn into a battle of the two Indian super stars - Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan - dividing the industry into two camps.

The two superstars were caught in a war of words on the July 16 party that Salman threw for current girlfriend Katrina, which later turned ugly.

Salman was reportedly instigating Shah Rukh from the beginning of the party by speaking about their reality shows - 'Dus Ka Dum' and 'Kya aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain?' respectively. Salman claimed that his show 'Dus Ka Dum' had garnered more TRPs than Shah Rukh's, said sources.

Salman scoffed at Shah Rukh by saying that in spite of being a super star he could not make his show a hit.

Shah Rukh initially did not pay any heed to Salman's comments. The final blow came when Shah Rukh made a comment on Salman's ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai, inviting a furious retaliation from Salman.

The incident occurred late in the night, when many of the guests had left.

Though Aamir Khan tried his best to resolve the dispute that arose between Salman and Shah Rukh on Katrina's birthday party, the two are not in a mood for compromise as both have got the support from their well wishers in the industry.

Salman, who is known for his loyalty towards friends, got supportive calls from old time friends like Kareena Kapoor and Akshay Khanna, said sources.

Fardeen Khan and Zayed Khan also showed their concern for the actor by calling him.

Ranbir Kapoor, who worked with Salman in 'Saawariya', was the only newcomer to jump into the camp fight by calling him to express his sympathy, sources added.

If Salman had his supporters, so did King Khan. Veterans like Yash Chopra and Javed Akhtar called Shah Rukh to enquire about the incident. Besides, Karan Johar, Sajid Khan and Farhan Akhtar once again proved their loyalty towards the actor by offering their support.

Kunal Kohli also called the actor to know about his well being.

'While Salman has the support of actors, Shah Rukh has the support of the directors. It's an advantage for Shah Rukh,' remarked an industry watcher.

The star-studded birthday party of Katrina Kaif was attended by Bollywood bigwigs like Aamir, Kareena, Saif Ali Khan, Karan Johar, Rajkumar Santoshi, Kunal Kohli, Salim Khan, Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, Nikhil Advani, Prakash Jha, David Dhawan, Anees Bazmee, and Manmohan Shetty, among others.

Salman Khan, whose go out with long term girlfriend Katrina Kaif has been much speculated by media, finally gave rest to all the rumors by proposing Katrina on her birthday bash. The party was thrown by the actor and had all the hot shots of the bollywood.

Sallu, also had told the DJ to play Mujhse Shadi Karogi, before dropping to his knees to propose girlfriend Katrina!!The actress was too shocked to answer, but her smile said it all.

Bollyood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has done the voiceover for his friend Aziz Mirza's 'Kismet Konnection' starring Shahid Kapur and Vidya Balan. SRK, who returned from UK recently, completed the dubbing in a matter of few hours. 'Kismet Konnection' releases on July 18.

Director Mirza said: 'Shah Rukh had just returned from London when I called him to tell that I wanted him to do the voiceover. Any other person would have made an excuse of jet lag and told me that he wanted to go home. But, Shah Rukh's car took the road that led to the dubbing studio at 1.30 AM. He saw to it that he completed the voiceover for my film that very night,' Mirza added.

Interestingly, it was Juhi Chawla who was to do the voiceover initially. 'Juhi plays a crystal ball reader and since her character talks about life and relationships. I thought she was apt to do the voiceover. But, Juhi felt that the film's content was too strong and a female voice in the background will not be able to do justice to it,' Mirza said.

Aziz said with Shah Rukh having lent his voice to the film, the circle was complete. It may be recalled that SRK, Juhi and Mirza are business partners and their banner 'dreamz unlimited' made films like Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Asoka, One two ka four, Chalte Chalte.
