Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif's hot look on the cover Of Filmfare Magazine May 2010.

Katrina finally accepts Salman Khan's presence in her life

Katrina Kaif, who usually remains tight-lipped about her relationship with actor Salman Khan, says the star always guided her and genuinely believed she would join the big league in Bollywood one day.

"Salman had been always there, more than anything to guide because I didn't know anything about the industry. What would remain special in my mind is that from the very beginning Salman told me that I will achieve this success in the industry. And at that point it was too far off," Katrina told in an interview.

"That time I couldn't see myself one movie ahead, forget 15 movies ahead. I think that he believed it genuinely," the 25 -year-old actor said.

She entered Bollywood in 2003 with the dud "Boom". Her first big hit was 2005 romantic comedy "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" in which she teamed up with Salman. After that she gave a string of hits, including "Namastey London", "Partner", "Welcome", "Singh Is Kinng" and critically acclaimed "New York".

But Katrina feels nobody can plan success.

"It's (success) destiny, no one can plan it. There are many people who are connected with the industry because of their father, mother or other family members; still they are not able to achieve what is termed as success in the industry.

"You can come here, make two or three films, your co-stars could be your friends - all this you can plan but you can't plan which film would be successful. The miracle that happened with my life has been the success of my films. Because, had those films not been successful, no one would have done anything for me," said Katrina.

She is now eager to take more responsibilities and do more diverse roles like the one she is doing in Prakash Jha's "Raajneeti', where she plays a politician.

"Till now I have done a genre of films. People have accepted me, loved me and have given me so much support. I never imagined getting so much. But I feel that there are other types of films to do. See other contemporary actors, they have done much more diverse roles.

"People can say that the success ratio of my films has been very, very good, but I still feel people should see me on other kinds of films too...

"May be something like a remake of 'Sita Aur Gita'...In 'Raajneeti', I have more responsibility. But you will have to remember that there I am with six very important guys, all have very important roles," said Katrina.

The actress maintains she always wanted to do something unusual in life.

"I always used to make a world in my head and live in that. I always wanted to be something unusual. Some of the dreams I remember, they may sound stupid - I wanted to be a firefighter, I wanted to be a stunt woman, I wanted to go to NASA. Acting was something to fancy," said Katrina.

Sonam Kapoor follows Katrina Kaif’s footsteps

The recent B-town ladies have become very pricey and choosy when it comes to selecting roles. Like Katrina, bollywood’s new bee Sonam Kapoor too doesn’t approve films having two heroine in it. Recently, Sonam rejected a film with Ranbir Kapoor which has Deepika Padukone playing his love interest.

If recollected, Katrina too had recently declined the most-sought after director Anurag Basu’s Khamoshi which has Ranbir and Priyanka in the lead role.

As far as Ranbir and Deepika’s film is concerned it will showcase Ranbir in a double role where one character will be set in the 1950s background and the other character will be today’s youth.

The title of the film is Mera Jahan which will directed by Vikramjit Singh. Mera Jahan is revolves around a comic book writer played by Ranbir who is lost in his world and his own perceptions of the world.

Katrina Kaif and Ajay Devgan together again in Aarakshan

Katrina Kaif signed for Prakash Jha’s upcoming flick “Aarakshan”: These days Katrina Kaif is getting a lot of Bollywood attention.

Even before the release of Rajneeti, she has been signed for Prakash Jha’s upcoming film “Aarakshan”.

The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan and Ajay Devgan. The movie addresses issues related to job reservation in India and is set against an academic dropout.

In the movie, Amitabh Bachchan plays the role of a teacher, who is inspired by his late father Harivansh Rai Bachchan.

Kaif plays the role of Bachchan’s daughter and Ajay Devgan is Big B’s favorite student.

Katrina Kaif to show her dirty side now

Bollywood actres Katrina Kaif will no longer be the tender beauty if her role in her upcoming film with Zoya Akhtar is anything to go by.

According to reports, Katrina will be seen performing some heavy duty stunts in the film that will also involve some dirt biking. For this, the actress is already taking lessons.

The film, which stars Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol and Farhan Akhtar, will be Zoya Akhtar's first big budget film.

Though, Katrina is excited about her new act, but at the same time she agrees that it is not going to be easy performing the stunts with the bike.

Well, with Kat's getting into a stunt mode in this film, it's time to witness the tough side of the tender beauty.

Ranbir as Kishore Katrina as Madhubala in Anurag Basu’s next

Anurag Basu is planning a biopic on the late actor, director and singer Kishore Kumar and for this venture he has signed Ranbir Kapoor to play the character of Kishore Kumar. His lady love in the movie will be none other than Katrina Kaif. Katrina will be playing the role of Madubala in the movie.

It seems that Katrina has already started watching Classics movies of Madubala like Chalti Ka Naam Gadi, Mugal e Azam , Mahal etc to bring in the perfection in her character. The makers are planning to recreate the magic of the song ‘ Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si’ which was picturised on Kishore Kumar and Madhubala in the film Chalti Ka Naam Gadi.

Earlier Anurag Basu had signed Katrina for his movie Silence, which Katrina refused when she came to know that Priyanka Chopra is playing a pivotal role in the movie. In spite of this incident there is no grudge between the director and the actress and both are looking forward to make a great movie ahead.

Now Koffee with Katrina Kaif!

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is planning her next date these days. The date is none other than actor Shammi Kapoor. The actress is planning to meet the veteran actor over a kappa sometime soon.

What spiraled this coffee date is no less interesting story. Says our source, 'It was reported that Shammi Kapoor had expressed the desire to have coffee with Katrina. When the media recently cornered Katrina on this, the actress feigned ignorance. But at the same time she added that if this is true she is going to make sure that she has a coffee with the veteran actor whom she respects immensely.'

The relationship between Kapoors and Katrina assumes significance in the light of recent rumours of Ranbir and Kat's romantic link up. Though the two have often denied such talks, but now the coffee can create a storm in Kat's cup again if she plans to get into the Kapoor camp for it.

Katrina Kaif's Interview

Katrina Kaif surely has proved her acting caliber on the silver screen. From her first film Boom to Raajneeti, she has experimented with her look, performances and above all she has improved dancing as well as her speech skills too.

Undoubtedly, the directors and the producers have broken the myth that she is just a glam doll. The credit nonetheless goes to Prakash Jha for his film Raajneeti in which Kats has taken the trouble of dubbing the dialogues in pure Hindi.

So how was it working with Prakash Jha, who believes in hard-hitting subjects with purely Hindi dialogues?
Yes! It was not difficult for me. I can mug up ten pages at a stretch. I have an accent problem but I’ve tried to manage it well. In fact, when I sat down to surf some of the real characters from the political arena; I thought that in the quest of getting into some real political character, I was going wrong. Hence I decided to follow my reel character only.

As a modern contemporary youth, I have tried to get the body language of Priyanka Gandhi. But by no means can you compare my reel character to any living political characters. You guys are just comparing me to Sonia Gandhi because I too belong to an English mother, with fair skin and black hair which is not really so.

You came into this industry fresh, who do you give credit to as your Godfather?
Ya! I am not one belonging to the Bollywood industry. Everyone has a Godfather. I have not one but many Godfathers who may have helped me attain the kind of success I have achieved in this short span of my career. Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar have definitely helped me get to the horizon. I would also credit the blessings showered upon me by the almighty God which is why I have been able to achieve success.

It’s the survival of the fittest. And you are on the top of the female lead stars. How do you feel about it?
I feel good to be topping the list. If this comparison brings me on the top of the list why will I not like ranking. Human tendency is such that we love to be number one. Why will I not like the number game? But there ought to be a fair competition. We need not pursue wrong ways to just boost up our career. Our work needs to speak more than our action/words. If you say I’m topping the list in the number one game then I really feel elated.

Is it true that you are essaying Madhubala’s character in the biopic on Kishore Kumar?
I am open to doing good films. Being in the profession I need to know the script, if it is going to work or not. Yes! I do discuss it with my close people but the final decision rests with me. I am in the process of sorting out the details with UTV Productions. Nothing has been finalized as yet. I feel the media is in a bit of a hurry to publish news even before confirming it, which was not the case earlier.

What profession would you have pursued if you weren’t a part of the Bollywood industry?
I have always been a day dreamer. Probably because I had a sense of insecurity as we have been wanderers. We never were stationed in one place. I always loved to be a fire-fighter also performing stunts would always fancy me. I love to live in a castle built world.

You seem to be very excited about working with Hrithik, is it true?
Yes! I’m very excited about working with Hrithik tentatively in a movie titled Zindagi Mile Na Dobara. This film is surely going to be a path-breaking and a youthful film. I am sure it will be a brilliant film. My role is that of a free spirited girl. I'm really looking forward to work with Hrithik Roshan. Although it is a difficult character but I will surely be able to perform to the best of my ability.

How do you manage to stay in such a great shape?
I hate doing regular gym. I feel good exercise twice or thrice a week only. I remember how my trainer of Tees Maar Khan made me do rigorous exercises. But now I just tell him to schedule it only twice a week. I believe in maintaining a proper diet. I maintain myself by following the right kind of lifestyle.

Salman believed in me says Katrina Kaif

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who is all set to make a splash in her upcoming flim Raajneeti, says her mentor-turned-boyfriend Salman Khan was always sure of her doing well and making a mark for herself in the tinsel town.

"Apart from guiding me, Salman had confidence in me. He is not the person to say that because he is friendly with you. He will say it genuinely," said Katrina.

The 25-year-old actress feels that it was her destiny that she came into the Hindi film industry and succeeded. She has many people to thank for her soaring career here.

"There are too many people whom I can call my godfather. I am grateful and indebted to them. Even Akshay Kumar took a risk in working with me initially," she said. "He did not know me at all. He was at crossroads of his career. When he did Namastey London, people thought he had gone insane.

Nobody is going to damage or destroy himself to help somebody else. Salman believed in me and that is my good fortune and destiny," she said.

Katrina says the fact that her earlier films did well at the box office was a "miracle", helping her weave the success story. "Had those films failed, nobody could have done anything for me. I don't think I would have got a second chance if the movies bombed," she said.

Asin replaces Katrina Kaif in upcoming film Khamoshi

Everything happens for good and that’s exactly what happened to director Anurag Basu, who had got the sudden shock when actress Katrina Kaif decided to back out of his up coming project ‘Khamoshi’. Reports suggest Kaif had back tracked from the project due to the fact that the director had signed on Priyanka Chopra as well. However there were some other reasons cited from the Katrina’s end.

It was announced that Katrina had backed out as she had got hold of the rights of the remake of a French film, which she is going to produce, as well as act in. Other than that, she was not interested in any double heroine ventures. Any how, the film’s unit had got quite a shock with that one blow by Katrina.

Though, just a day after Kats announcement of backing out, the clever director got the in demand heroine of bollywood Asin to sign on the dotted line. Now, this bit of news has made Asin go absolutely on top of the world, looks like the lady has suddenly got the magic wand of Salman Khan working wonders for her. Only after Salman recommended her for his film, has the girl overnight become hot property in bollywood.

Katrina Kaif will not work with Priyanka Chopra

Katrina Kaif is sitting pretty in her own little niche in tinsel town and there’s no way she’s going to step out of it or do anything that jeopardizes her smooth-sailing career. Little surprise then that she chose to excuse herself from director Anurag Basu’s film with Ranbir Kapoor when she learnt that Priyanka Chopra will have a pivotal role in it.

Anurag Basu had purportedly planned a casting coup by finalizing Ranbir, Katrina and Priyanka for the same film. And Katrina’s detractors felt it was a forgone conclusion that Priyanka, being a better actress, would walk away with plaudits.

But Katrina has nipped that possibility in the bud by simply opting out of the project.

Katrina says her preference at this point of her career is to do only solo-heroine films. On top of it, she’s is utterly excited to have bagged the Hindi remake rights of a French film. She plans to produce the film and act in it as well. And with her date diary already chock-full of commitments, she had to opt out of some film to accommodate the remake. The axe fell on Basu’s film with Ranbir and Priyanka, in which she might have been reduced to a second fiddle.

Confirming to a tabloid that she’s eyeing solo-heroine projects only, Katrina said: “...I'm happy in the space I am. Why should I unnecessarily rock the boat?”

Katrina injured while dancing with Akshay in Tees Maar Khan

Katrina Kaif ended up getting hurt while shooting a groovy dance sequence with Akshay Kumar for Farah Khan’s upcoming movie Tees Maar Khan at Malshej Ghat, a few hours’ drive from Mumbai.

It appears that both Katrina and Akshay were in a groovy mood and wanted to put their best foot forward while filming a ballet-like dance sequence on Friday. However, due to some mistiming in the dance move or perhaps they got too close, Katrina’s head bumped into Akshay’s jaw and teeth.

Strangely, nothing happened to Akshay but Katrina got injured on her head and felt dizzy and disoriented after the bump. While Farah Khan rushed to look after her, Akshay was in a jocular mood and scared Katrina further by saying that she would have to get a few stitches.

Katrina was attended by a doctor and given all medical attention. She’s learnt to have resumed the film’s shoot now.

Just a few days back, Katrina had fainted on the sets of the movie. Before that she battled a series of health scares including food poisoning and surgery.
