Kareena, the ebullient sister of Karishma - who is romantically linked with Shahid Kapoor - is also in a joyous mood as the festive season comes to India. She is not only acting with boyfriend Shahid in a Priyadarshan-directed movie, but she has also been offered the magnificent role of Desdemona in Vishal Bharadwaj's Hindi flick based on Shakespeare's magnum opus Othello. Earlier, Bharadwaj made a riveting movie based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, starring Tabu and Pankaj Kapoor - the father of Shahid Kapoor - who gave one of the best performances ever in the history of Hindi cinema as Mia Maqbool. Now it Kareena's turn to give the best performance of her career - with Ajay Devgan in the role of Othello. Kareena is also in the news because she is the newest star of the Pepsi cola campaign. She and Priyanka Chopra shot at the end of October with director Farah Khan to create a record of sorts. Two leading heroines will work with a woman director for the first time in the history of Bollywood. Priyanka's endorsement management agency is hoping to make Rs.10 crores from endorsements for her in two years! For stars, endorsements bring quick and safe money in less time that a film which lasts six months or more!
