Saif Ali Khan-Kareena Kapoor Wedding Date Fixed For October 16 2012

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor To Marry on October 16 2012: In the first official confirmation from the family, Saif Ali Khan's mother, Sharmila Tagore has confirmed her son's marriage to actor Kareena Kapoor on October 16. "Yes, that's the date we have decided upon. There will be a reception, too, but not a very big one." The wedding ceremony, said close sources, will be a quiet affair, too.

Saif Ali Khan With Kareena Kapoor

Sources close to Tagore said that Kapoor, like her would be mother-in-law, will continue acting in films. "Sharmila's best innings as an actress started after marriage. Saif was a baby on the sets of one of her best films, Aradhana. Kareena will follow in her footsteps. After marriage, she will do two films a year. Right after she completes Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine, she'll begin shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Ram Leela," said the source.

In fact, Kapoor has assured a very worried Bhansali that she will not take a break for her wedding.

The wedding, which will be held at the Pataudis' ancestral home, will only be attended by immediate family members of the couple.

Says the source, "Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi died only recently, so the family wanted a low-key wedding. Kareena and her family agreed, too. However, there may be a large reception bash after the wedding, considering both Saif and Kareena have many friends in the film industry.� [...]

Oasis, The Beatles, Rihanna, Madonna And More Feature In The UK's Best Selling Singles Chart













The Beatles have held off artist such as Elvis Presley and Madonna to be declared the biggest selling UK singles act since charts began 60 years ago.

The Fab Four notched up 17 number ones during their relatively brief eight year chart domination, but split more than 40 years ago.

But performers whose careers have decades longer in some cases - such as Sir Cliff Richard - have failed to outsell them, a new Radio 2 chart reveals.

A countdown to be broadcast today of the all-time biggest sellers since the singles chart began in 1952 - the year the Queen took the throne - shows The Beatles are still unsurpassed.

Presley, who continued to have strong sales in the past decade thanks to a reissue campaign with tracks such as A Little Less Conversation, is ranked second.

Sir Cliff who has had 124 top 40 hits and 14 number ones finished in third place in the list compiled by the Official Charts Company.

Madonna, who has made the top 40 more than 60 times, is ranked fourth.

There are some surprising entries with Rihanna, who charted for the first time in only 2005 is in tenth place, yet The Rolling Stones - who racked up their first hit in 1963 - make it to only number 13. However, although the wrinkly rockers have continued to release singles over the years, they have failed to dent the top ten since 1981.

Tony Blackburn will count down the chart from 2pm to 5pm which shows US rapper Eminem (placed 18th) is ahead of enduring chart stars such as Sir Tom J [...]
