Frantic efforts are on to accommodate Karisma Kapoor’s birthday into her sister Kareena’s choc-a-clock schedule. But it seems unlikely that the busy actress would be able to join her Didi for her birthday on June 25.

Ironically it is Saif who seems more concerned about missing Karisma’s birthday.

Says a source, “Saif gets along like a house on fire with Karisma and her husband Sanjay. The two guys often share a lot of outdoor fun activities together. Saif doesn’t want that he and Kareena should miss her sister’s birthday this year. ”

Saif’s concern and guilt for the sisters not being together on that very special day is heightened by the fact that Kareena would be shooting for his film Agent Vinod in Morocco on Karisma’s birthday.

Kareena rules out that possibility of Karisma flying down to Morocco “How can my sister fly down to Morocco? No, she’ll be in Mumbai with her baby. She has just had a baby boy who’s not even four months old. She can’t leave the city. ”

Interestingly Kareena seems to handle her absence from this important day in her sister with much pragmatism and common sense. “How can I be in Mumbai? I’ll be shooting in Tangiers in Morocco on my sister’s birthday. Work always comes first in our family. So there would be no birthday plans with my sister this year. ”

The over-worked sister says she won’t even have time to buy anything for Karisma this year. “There’s no time to breathe. Forget buying anything. I don’t know whether I’m coming or going, ”sighs Kareena.

Kareena has never missed any of her sister’s birthday. In recent years Kareena had quite often gone to join Karisma in Delhi when the elder sister was staying in the Capital with her husband.

This time Kareena is trying to focus on Saif’s project rather than on Karisma’s birthday. “ I looooove the title Agent Vinod. It’s the coolest. We’ve already started shooting for it. We leave for Tangiers in Morocco on 22 June for twenty days. ”

Flies to Morocco almost as soon as she lands in Mumbai from Hyderabad, has asked mom, sis and niece to meet her at airport

Kareena Kapoor cannot take time out for sister Karisma Kapoor's birthday (on June 25). In fact, she is so busy that her mother Babita is packing her bags for an overseas schedule ahead of the actress' return to Mumbai.

Says Kareena, "I am shooting in Hyderabad till June 23. I land in Mumbai at 9 pm and from the domestic airport, go to the international terminal.

I board a flight to Marrakech, Morocco for Saif's Agent Vinod in a couple of hours after that. It's so hectic that I won't be able to go home and pack. In fact, I have told mom to pack my stuff and meet me at the airport."

The actress says she's sad, as it is one of those rare occasions that she will miss sis Karisma's birthday as well.

"I have asked Lolo and Samaira to come to the airport for half an hour so we can sit and chat in the car. I don't know if Samaira can come so late at night but I'd love to have her come. I am feeling terrible that I won't see her for more than a month."

She adds. "I told Lolo to pick up a gift for herself and that I'd pick up the tab later. There's just no time for anything. I am shooting double shifts in Hyderabad -- Rohit Shetty's Golmaal 3 in the day and three cell phone ads at night. After the schedule of Agent Vinod in Morocco, I join SRK's Ra.One unit in London. I will return to India only in July-end."

There's no respite for Kareena till year-end. "I have three films to complete -- Golmaal 3, Ra.One and Agent Vinod. Then Madhur's (Bhandarkar) film starts in December. Then I am endorsing 11 brands and have performed at every award show this year.

In September and October, I get busy with the promotion of Golmaal 3 and Karan's (Johar) Stepmom. In fact, I have requested Shah Rukh to keep a schedule of Ra.One in Mumbai so I can be there to promote Golmaal 3. He has agreed."

In talks
There's a buzz that Kareena has signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Heera Mandi. Says a source close to the actress, "They're in talks. Nothing's official as of now. Bebo and Sanjay have been keen to work with each other for three years now.

There's no script locked in as of now. Sanjay has offered her a couple of scripts including Heera Mandi. Once, she's done with her overseas schedules, she will meet him and discuss which script to sign. They will definitely work together next year.".
