Shahid is having a ball like me, says Kareena Kapoor ...

Mumbai, (IANS) Having lost weight before

leaving for the Rock Stars concerts, Kareena Kapoor is making waves in

the United States and says both she and Shahid Kapur are overwhelmed

with the response.

"The concerts are going unbelievably well. We have finished our

performance in Washington. And the ovation is unreal. For Shahid it is

the first time. He has never done live concerts before. And he is

having a ball like me," Kareena told IANS.

Kareena says the Rock Stars concerts are the best live shows of her

career. "Every performance of mine from 'Yuva' to 'Chameli' to 'Fida'

has the audiences on its feet."

Going into the details of the concerts, she says, "Shahid and I have

an act together. I also have a dance number with Salman Khan. We have

just finished Washington. Our next performance is in Boston. After that

we will perform in Chicago, New York and then Toronto."

"Everywhere we go the screams of the audiences follow us. I tell you

it is unreal. To watch them go insane after our performances gives me a

high that I can't put into words."

Despite having an abbreviated role in her latest release "36 China

Town", Kareena says the film has done quite well.

"Shahid and I have been accepted as a pair. We will now be seen in

Priyan's (Priyadarshan) 'Chup Chup Ke'. I really don't think life can

get any better... or may be it can."

Kareena returns on June 14 to join the unit of Farhan Akhtar's "Don"

in Malaysia.

"It's just a special appearance in 'Don'. But my song 'Yeh mera dil

pyar ka deewana' rocks. I know there will be comparison with the

original (Helen in Chandra Barot's 'Don'). But all comparisons will be

forgotten once people see what I have done."
