Is Katrina Kaif sexier and hotter than her?

The war between Katrina Kaif and Malaika Arora is still on. Bollywood is still in debate over who is the best among Sheela and Munni. Bollywood’s most popular item numbers this year are inarguably ‘Munni Badnaam Hui’ and ‘Sheela Ki Jawani’.
If Munni jhatkas are for rural masses, Sheila seduces the youth and upper class with her hip shakes. Both of them have their plusses, but when it comes to who is the best it is tough to declare a winner.

Right now every alternate Bollywood media source is conducting a poll or discussion on this topic. We go with Katrina Kaif, the Sheila, as this is her very first raunchy number and hence having a fresh appeal. Who do you go with? Leave a comment below.

Ranbir Kapoor - Katrina Kaif make their love affair public

Here is why Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are still shh... about their love!!!

After Deepika Padukone (sort of) 'outed' new beau Siddarth Mallya during the release of Lafangey Parindey, all eyes are now on her ex Ranbir Kapoor who is busy promoting his upcoming release Anjaana Anjaani. Will the actor use the platform to finally admit to being in a relationship with Katrina Kaif?


RK and Kat, have been together for more than a year and are feeling the pressure of keeping their relationship a secret. The Kapoor clan has already welcomed Ms Kaif with open arms, so why hide their love, right? The answer's simple enough: Salman Khan.

While Kapoor's ex has moved on, Kat's ex still believes she is single. A source close to Sallu confides, "He believes the Ranbir-Katrina romance to be a gimmick to promote their films together." It started on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahaani and became stronger during Raajneeti. They were slated to work together in Anurag Basu's Silence but Katrina walked out due to script problems. But Katrina and Ranbir are slated to go on a world tour next year.

The couple who are totally committed to each other are still resorting to meeting secretly, Ranbir's or her houses mostly, when they are in the city. When they are away, their secret meeting place is London. Recently, he took a few days off from the shooting of Rockstar and flew to UK from Prague, while she took off for a two-day break to London while shooting in Spain for Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milega Dobaara.

A source close to Ranbir says, "They are very much in love. Katrina has even met all his uncles and aunts, who all approve of her. Even his parents, mom Neetu and dad Rishi are very fond of her. She often drops by at their Bandra home to meet them even when Ranbir isn't in town. The Kapoor khandaan is not in favour of their beta hiding his feelings for the girl he loves but they understand how this could cause problems for Kat.

Also, in the past, the Kapoor lad and Khan have had a problem, an episode they don't want repeated. The only way the young lovers can spend time together without upsetting their lives, is to do more films together."

An insider adds, "The actress has been sending feelers openly to producers to cast them together. She's made it clear that if they are cast together, her price can be negotiated."

Ranbir feels that the time to flaunt his relationship with Katrina, is at hand. It is learnt that they will make a public statement by making a public appearance together in coming months a la Kareena-Saif two years ago. Not too long ago, Kat had confessed to a friend that she didn't want to announce she was seeing someone else when Salman was going through a low phase. Khan's riding the crest of success now and she feels like it's a good time for her to break the bad news to him.

Ranbir Kapoor will go on his first world tour across 16 nations along with father Rishi from June 2011. Rishi will not only accompany him but also co-produce the event with the Moranis (scripting, creative and production). While Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra have confirmed to doing the show, speculations are rife about Ranbir's ex Deepika Padukone also being a part of it. Ranbir will feature in a series of concerts to be held in different parts of Europe, America, Canada, UAE and South Africa

Katrina and Hrithik to have the longest liplock ever

Mumbai: Nothing woos audiences better than item numbers and liplock scenes. And Zoya Akhtar is making sure that she adds them all in her new film, ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.

The film that stars Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar and Kalki Koechlin will have a super hot liplock scene. And it will be Hrithik and Katrina who will share over a minute long kiss scene in the film.

Confirming the news, a source said, “Zoya had been planning a kiss sequence between Hrithik and Katrina for long. But since Katrina is averse to doing such scenes, she wanted to handle the situation delicately.”

As per reports, there is an extended kissing scene between Hrithik and Katrina. Talking about the scene, the source said, “There’s an important sequence where Katrina realizes her love for Hrithik, who has just bid her goodbye and is going away and so she zooms in on her bike, overtakes Hrithik, parks the bike and stops him and simply kisses him and expresses her feelings and love. “

What’s interesting is that Zoya did not have much difficulty in convincing Katrina to enact the scene. And if sources are to believed then this will be the longest kissing scene in Bollywood, beating the previous one by Aamir and Karisma in ‘Raja Hindustani’.

Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif together in Aditya Chopra's next Movie

Imran Khan starts shooting for Aditya Chopra's next film with Katrina Kaif this weekend.

Of course there are those who say Kat may join him a little later in the schedule. Imran gets back to shooting for a film almost after three months. And the location of Imran's next shoot is interesting. Though this light-eyed superstar has travelled quite a bit, he hasn't been to Pataudi where he will begin shooting shortly. It's said that Kareena Kapoor, Imran's co-star in Karan Johar's Short Term Shaadi has told Imran that if he feels homesick, he can perhaps drop by at her beau Saif Ali Khan's ancestral home, where Sharmila Tagore and the Nawab of Pataudi live.

“Who’s Imran?” - Katrina Kaif

Well, we thought they would have a filmi connect at least. But recently during an interview, Katrina Kaif left us a wee bit baffled. When quizzed on a comment that hottie Imran Khan had made about she being a lucky charm. Batting her eyelids with surprise, she asked, “Who Imran?” Oops. Too many Imrans in Bollywood, eh? So we quickly added the ‘Khan’ to the name. Thankfully, that cleared the confusion for the lovely Katz. 

“Oh, Imran! How can I be his lucky charm? I have never worked with him”. Katrina and Imran Khan were supposed to come together for Sanjay Gadhvi’s film ‘Seven Days in Paris’ but the project never took off. However the duo will be paired for the first time in a Yash Raj Production. “We will be doing a film together for Yashraj that we will start shooting soon. We have been offered a few films together, but this one was the best.” 

Now we wonder if Katrina’s caustic reply inquiring Imran’s identity has disappointed Imran Khan. He considered her as his lucky mascot. She had to consider again and confirm which Imran.

Kat Delays Sibling Isabelle's Debut!

Katrina Kaif has made her mark in B Town and is also keen to pencil in sibling Isabelle into the business of histrionics.

However, it's not going to be a hasty process. Canny Kat is taking those measured steps for her sis to ensure that her debut speeds towards success.

Recently, Kat and Isabelle spent time together in Spain during the filming of Zoya Akhtar's flick, and seem to have chalked out their agenda.

Reportedly, Kat desires Isabelle to complete her acting course in New York and stay back in the Big Apple to audition for some significant flicks and roles…which would span a period of about six months. And would like her to zoom into Hindi moviebiz, post realising the Western bit of glory.

Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif in Yash Raj film 7 Days In Paris

Imran Khan and Katrina Kaif have finally signed for a film that will go on floors next month. After Sanjay Gadhvi’s  7 Days In Paris  ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar’s next, Yash Raj Films has signed Imran Khan and Katrina for their next. Though still untitled, the film will be directed by debutante Ali Abbas Zafar. Ali has written the script and the film will be the next one to go on floors under the YRF banner as early as next month.

Yes, YRF has got a fresh new face in Imran but the actor too has benefited from this deal. As reported earlier, Sanjay Gadhvi’s film ran into financial trouble and Emraan Hashmi replaced Imran Khan in Dibakar’s political thriller. Apparently, Imran and Dibakar intend to do a film eventually but that’s for later. In the meantime, the two debacles have seemingly brought luck to both Imran and Katrina.

Our source said, “This is the first time Imran will work in a YRF Film. The film was not scheduled to start earlier but since Katrina had bulk dates to give, considering Dostana 2 was postponed, Imran also agreed and the film is ready to take off immediately. Imran is known to be choosy but he loved the script and has signed the film. It’s a romantic film. Ali has assisted YRF in four films earlier: Jhoom Barabar Jhoom, New York, Tashan and the recently released Badmash Company .”

Imran Khan confirmed, “I am happy to be a part of the film and to be working with YRF. I love the way Adi functions. I also liked the way Ali has visualised his script.”

Recalling the emotional moment with great pleasure Katrina says, "Suddenly there were 500 people Spanish, Indian and every nationality you can imagine, on this main street of Pamplona singing 'Happy Birthday' to me. It was an awesome moment and the best birthday gift I've ever had. It was very considerate of Zoya to arrange this surprise for me."


The whole cast was shooting together in Spain for Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara by participating in one of Spain's biggest festive events, the Encierro, or Running Of The Bulls festival. Expains a source, "Since Zoya's film is set in Spain the first thing that came to the team's mind was a bullfight. But they all thought that was too predictable. So they hit upon the Running Of The Bulls festival.

No Kiss and No Bikini : Katrina Kaif

Once bitten twice shy – that's Katrina Kaif for you. The scene in Kabir Khan’s New York, where she kissed her co-star, still seems to trouble her. Now, she has confirmed loud and clear that she wouldn't kiss or wear bikini in the future.

Sources said that Katrina turned down the demands of the directors, who were very dedicated to see her kiss her co-stars. She is a conventional at heart, and so she sneakily refused to bow down to the directors' formula declaration 'script demands it'. Sources also said that she has made it clear to producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani that she wouldn't do kissing and bikini scenes in Dostana 2.
Katrina admitted that she did scenes in the past that she wasn't happy but she is not going to repeat the mistakes in the future. She said that she just don't feel comfortable doing kissing scenes and wearing bikini on screen. She is inflexible not to do kissing scenes in the future, as she thinks it doesn't go down well with the audience. It is also said that Katrina refused to kiss Ranbir Kapoor in both Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Rajneeti in spite of the advice from the directors.

Wonder if Kat will say no to kiss and bikini in case her career graph takes a dip!

Katrina Kaif- Akshay Kumar: The rain song mystery

It was for the film De Dana Dan’s promotion that the rain song between Katrina Saif and Akshay Kumar was shown in all the promos and music videos of the film. The sizzling chemistry between the two just couldn’t be missed by one and all. During the first week it was evident that most of them were going to watchthe film for the song itself.

It was a very disappointed audience that had come out of the theatres during the first screenings as the song had been eliminated. Most of them had admitted that through outthe film they had been waiting for the song but in the end they had to go home without an inkling of what had happened to the song.

Now, after a lot of complaints and diminishing ticket sales the film makers decided to put the song back in the film to woo its audience back. It however remains to be seen whether the audience is yet interested in seeing the song or now even they have second thoughts.

Anyway the comedy has been liked by many people and if things go well then, like other Priyadarshan’s comedy hits this film too can  reach the super hit bracket.

Katrina Kaif's New Year Plan

Bollywood actresses are often sought to add glamour to New Year parties at world-class hotels and make the night memorable for the revelers. Katrina Kaif may have missed the chance to dance last year but this time she will and that too for an extra crore.

According to reports, Ms Kaif will get about Rs 2 crore, almost the double of what she was offered last year, to perform on New Year’s Eve party at J W Marriott. Last year, Mumbai was in no mood to celebrate after the terrorist attacks of 26/11 and thus most of the events were called off.

This year, Katrina has reportedly been asked again to perform and sources add, “This New Year's Eve, however, plans are on to make Katrina's event a grand affair. The actress has agreed to get jiggy but obviously for a higher price to match her present position in B-Town,”.

In previous years Mallika Sherawat and Bipasha Basu were also paid staggering amounts to dance at the bash but Katrina’s demand price has surpassed all. However, according to her, nothing is yet confirmed.

No doubt, the lady is in demand everywhere.

There should be a limit to fun, says Katrina Kaif

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is not taking rumours of her marriage with an Indore-based politician lightly. She says people should have fun, but within limits.

"The police have already issued a statement saying that it is utter rubbish and the police are going to arrest him and serve notice. I hope they do. I agree doing it in fun is one thing but there should be a limit," Katrina told reporters here.

"People shouldn't cross the line. I will definitely support the police' decision to penalise the person," she added.

The news came in effect after a marriage certificate approved by the Indore Municipal Corporation came to surface. It claimed that the 24-year-old is married to local Bharatiya Janata Party member Ramesh Mendola since December 2, 2008.

The certificate was also registered with the Indore civic body December 11 that year. The local Municipal Corporation however retaliated that the certificate was fake and a complaint will be lodged with the police.

The actress was in the capital to launch Veet's Ready-To-Use Wax Strips. Katrina is the brand ambassador of the brand.

Katrina, who starred in recently released hit Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Kahani, also insisted: "I'm confident enough to know what I am speaking."

Katrina Kaif,Nicest person in the bollywood industry

They're starring together for the very first time, and Ranbir Kapoor is already all praise for his Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani co-star, Katrina Kaif.

Bollywood's latest heartthrob can go on and on about his Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani co-star Katrina Kaif. He finds her drive and passion for work inspiring and says she is 'the nicest person in the industry'.

"The drive that Katrina has is inspiring. She is there and she just doesn't stop. She has come a long way from where she started and where she is today," Ranbir said.

'Nicest person in the industry

"She is India's biggest actress and there is a lot of hard work, sacrifice and passion she has put behind that and I totally respect that. And the best part is that she doesn't take that for granted," the 28-year-old actor said.

Ranbir, who will be seen again with Katrina in Prakash Jha's political thriller Rajneeti, describes Katrina as the 'nicest person in the industry'.

"There is an amazing positive energy about her. She is hardworking and everything she does is for the betterment of the movie. She is fun loving, passionate about cinema and passionate about her work. I share a great rapport with her," he said.

His Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani is slated for release on November 6 and shows the story of a happy-go-lucky boy, who falls in love with a girl. But the girl is in love with someone else. The film also has a special appearance by Salman Khan.

Asked about his on-screen chemistry with Katrina, Ranbir said: "As far as chemistry is concerned, I always believe that chemistry never happens between two actors, it happens between two characters in the movie. It depends how the characters are written in the script and the moments and the scenes between them. That's when chemistry happens.

"Katrina and I are working for the first time, so people are finding this pairing new and fresh, but unless the film releases and unless it becomes a hit, you never know whether the chemistry has worked out or not," he said.

Ranbir, son of actors Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, made his acting debut in 2007 with Sanjay Leela's Bhansali's Saawariya opposite fellow newcomer Sonam Kapoor. The film failed at the box office, but it didn't deter his growth as he received positive reviews for his performance and got good offers.

Siddharth Anand's romantic comedy, Bachna Ae Haseeno was his second film and it hit the jackpot at the box office. And now everyone - from critics to audiences - are going ga ga over his performance in Wake Up Sid, in which he was paired opposite Konkana Sen Sharma.

After Ajab Prem..., Ranbir will be seen in Shimit Amin's Rocket Singh: Salesman of The Year, Rajneeti and Siddharth Anand's Anjaana Anjaani.

Katrina Kaif Barbie at Bloomingdale in New York

They say 'For every Taj Mahal, there's a Qutub Minar, and for every India Gate, there's a Gateway of India'. Likewise, for every Madam Tussauds museum, there's a Bloomingdale. If the name doesn't register (read 'ring a bell') in your mind, then, trust us that it soon will. For starters, Bloomingdale is the official domain for the world famous Barbie Doll and that it even has a museum dedicated to the same!

And the desi touch to this videsi story is that our very own Katrina Kaif, who, after being recently chosen as the 'Indian face' of Barbie Doll' will now be seen moulded into Barbie, the world's famous doll. An excited Katrina said that the customized Barbie that's being made for the American museum will just be like her. With this, Kats joins the likes of international celebrities like Beyonce Knowles and Diana Ross, no less.

With so much going for this young actress, one wonders what she would be honoured with next. Any guesses?

Biography for Katrina Kaif

Date of Birth
16 July 1984, London, England, UK

Nickname - Kat

Height  - 5' 8½" (1.74 m)

Born in Hong Kong on July 16, 1984 Katrina Kaif is one of eight siblings, all girls, from a mother who is a Caucasian of British Nationality, and a father who was formerly from Kashmir, India, but who has since acquired British citizenship.

She spent subsequent years in Hawaii, and then in London, Britain, She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelry campaign. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.

Continuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie 'Boom' offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad.

She was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks.

Professionally she started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, she received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. She retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved.

Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as she states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.

Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.

Although linguistically challenged, Katrina puts on a bold face and states that other Bollywood artistes like Sridevi, who did not know Hindi, did get offers from Bollywood film-makers, and she is no different. She has taken Hindi and dancing lessons to fit in with the Bollywood culture. She likes to display a picture of her learning Kathak dancing where she used to dance 7 hours a day non-stop.

Despite of her soft gorgeous looks, she is not easily intimidated, but admits that she is very emotional, almost an incurable romantic, wears comfortable non-revealing clothes when at home, hates to do her hair, and above all dislikes make-up. Admitting to being lonely in the beginning, but now has several friends who she can hang out with.

Although her first movie 'Boom' was panned by the critics and shunned by the audiences, two other Telugu movies 'Malliswari' and 'Pidugu' did get her noticed. She grossed 70 Lakh Rupees for 'Malliswari' - making her top the list of the highest paid actresses during a South Indian movie debut.

Not done with South Indian movies, she has been signed in a Tamil movie 'Bheema' opposite National Award Winner Vikram.

She has received decent reviews for her part in "Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya", as well as a brief appearance in 'Sarkar'.

Katrina had made Mumbai her base, didn't mind singing and dancing around trees and as a result is now one of the biggest mega-stars, perhaps one of the highest paid female-lead actresses in Bollywood, and a crowd-puller whenever she makes an appearance for a live song and dance number.

Personal Quotes

It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept. The exposure has to be relevant to the film and its characters and not forced for the sake of titillation. On the contrary, some of the greatest Indian films have been devoid of all these sexual trappings. I know my comfort zone in today's Indian culture and society.

Her thoughts on Bollywood accepting her, being an outsider British girl, into Indian cinema: "I have no complaints. I think I'm especially lucky. As you said, I've come from outside and I'm not even anywhere closely connected. But I have absolutely no problem here. People have been more than welcoming, even before I was ready. There was a time when I felt that I need to take time to understand more about the industry, the workings of it. I was doing my modeling, which I really wanted to do at the time. So that's why even my entry into films was later than people expected." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)

"I've been very blessed, I think, or what do you call it... mmm... lucky to get at this stage what I have. It's not like I've come from acting school and done work at an academy or something. I feel I've been given a very huge chance and opportunity." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)

My Hindi was bad about three years ago. I wanted to achieve a certain status in modeling. Through that I got confidence to get into movies. Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya? (2005) came at the right time. I had done kathak training which apart from teaching you about dancing also teaches you about emotions. After that experience, I feel this year will be a much better year for me.

I think I have been very lucky so far. I have done a lot of ads and also some films down south. People have liked me. I guess I have found a balance.

Wait and watch. Jee Karda should be on air later this month. We shot at 4am every day to capture the light and it was scorching. To keep cool we would stay in shades and sip fruit juice or mint tea.

Egypt is among the most beautiful countries I have visited - the pyramids, the temples and the landscape are absolutely exotic. I even enjoyed the barbecue dinner on a boat on the Nile. We shot in a number of places and I've come back with fond memories of my trip.

I unwind myself by taking off the costume and make-up as soon as the shoot is over! And get a spa treatment. It is extremely relaxing. Unfortunately, the kind of lifestyle and schedule we have, we hardly get time. Not only actors, but I have seen a lot of directors and journalists with skin problems and believe me, all that can be cured by a spa treatment.

Salman Khan did not help me get movie offers. What rubbish! Will any producer take a risk of millions of rupees at the instance of any person? Everyone knows that the film industry is highly competitive, and one gets a job on one's talent only and not on any recommendation.

My relationship with Salman Khan is too personal to talk about. I take my work like any other regular job and what I do in my personal life is no one's business. I'd rather let my work do all the talking.

Every one has her own love life. Every one has a dream to get a perfect life partner. But this is not so easy in real life. In fact, one doesn't love, it happens. As far as I am concerned, I love a boy who is linked with the film industry. However, I shall not name him. You never know what may happen in future.

Katrina Kaif-Ranbir Kapoor natural chemistry

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have a natural talent for comedy. A unit hand of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani said, “Ranbir and Katrina possess a great sense of humour. The two make jokes at a drop of a hat. Their
one-liners can have you in splits. It is this off the set chemistry that has come across on screen too.
The unit had become like this one big family. “We had become so close by the end of it that tears would well up in our eyes when we’d watch Katrina and Ranbir do an emotional scene. But we all kept quiet about it,” said the source.
The comic sequences have turned out to be simply entertaining. In fact, the unit could not help control their laughter while the comic scenes were being shot. “Not only Rajkumar Santoshi and Ramesh Taurani, but also the entire crew would break into laughter.”
