Mumbai, March 01: Her arduous climb to the top is indeed admirable .many are dying to step into her shoes.
Rumours are gathering grounds that the acclaimed author Shobhaa De is planning to write a comprehensive narrative account of this Bollywood’s starlet. She has even got a green signal from Kareena. According to sources, the two met several times in the past six months to discuss the details and work on it. “There is a lot of speculation about whether it is going to be an authorized biography on Bebo, but that’s not the case,” says a source.
The source further adds that the book will reveal about the journey of the star and basically will be on her, and not exactly on her life. “It will be on the lines of an acclaimed book based on Victoria Beckham. The book will trace how Kareena Kapoor became the brand Kareena Kapoor… how she became a name to reckon with from just being Lolo’s (Karisma Kapoor) sister,” the source was quoted as saying.
The grapevine has it that besides Shobhaa De, one more writer will also be working on this book. Shobhaa will not be writing the book entirely, she will be the master planner and the publisher. “Another writer is also on board along with Shobhaa, and some more might follow. Since she’ll be publishing it, it’ll have Bebo’s stamp of approval. We can’t say whether Bebo will be writing the foreword at this stage,” the source adds.
“The book will talk about her sense of style, her influences, her idols and how she has become a name in Bollywood to reckon with. It’s a little different from a biography in the strict sense of the term,” the source ends.
Kareena Kapoor without giving too much just confirmed that she is in talks with De for a biography “At this stage, it is too early to discuss (the book being written on her). We will surely discuss it at an appropriate time,” she says.
