Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor refuse to perform at a gutkha wedding where everyone from Salman to SRK will be dancing. The duo has decided as a rule to stop performing at weddings, no matter what fee is offered
Most of B-Town including Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif at a wedding in Delhi on November 18. But one couple have decided to stay away from it in spite of being offered big bucks Saif Ali Khan and his girlfriend Kareena Kapoor.
Says a source, “The couple was offered to perform at the wedding between two gutkha families and were offered almost Rs 4 crore but they turned it down.
They had taken a decision over a year ago that no matter what the price offered, they would not dance at wedding functions of strangers. That is strictly reserved for family and friends.”
The reason for the star couple’s non-performances at weddings is parental disapproval. Mainly his. The chote nawab comes from a royal family, and it is belittling for them to perform at weddings for cash.
Even Bebo’s parents weren’t exactly thrilled with the idea of them dancing at private functions. While shows and events like award functions are fine, they draw the line at weddings.
Saifeena were shocked to hear that they were part of the ‘gutkha wedding’ in the media and decided to clarify their stand.”
While Saif and Kareena took the decision not to perform at weddings a year ago, Ajay Devgn and his wife Kajol have never performed at weddings.
It’s a stand they had taken right in the beginning of their careers and till now, haven’t changed their minds though they have been offered big money to perform together.
In fact, Devgn has often expressed his displeasure of stars performing at shows, events and weddings. Sunil Shetty also doesn’t perform at weddings.
Says Bebo, “As a rule, Saif and I have stopped performing at weddings. We are not performing at this Delhi wedding. We took this decision together a long time back and have decided to stand by it even if it means losing huge money.”
Saif adds, “To each their own. It’s a question of comfort and individual choice and we both are personally not comfortable performing at weddings. The same goes for thedecisions I make on my films and ads.
I do them according to my comfort level. Having said that, I would like to add that we fully respect everyone else’s decision for doing whatever they want.”
Almost all B-Town stars from Zayed Khan, Jacqueline Fernandes, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Zayed Khan, Dia Mirza, Fardeen Khan, Lara Dutta, Urmila Matondkar and Sushmita Sen have been invited to attend or perform.
