Romance is my contribution: Katrina




Katrina Kaif has been a part of some super successful films in the past year or so. But it is alleged that her films almost completely rely on her co-actors — more often than not Akshay Kumar — for their commercial success. Katrina, according to the masses, is just eye candy. What does she have to say about starring in male-dominated, action-packed films like Singh is Kinng, with not much to do except gyrate and look beautiful? “Action and comedy undoubtedly make a film work, but Indian audiences are always looking for a romantic track, and that’s what I’m there for. My contribution is the romance,” she says pensively.
Kats is also looking forward, more precisely “hoping and praying” for a box office hat-trick with Namastey London, Welcome and now Singh is Kinng. “I’ve seen the film, it’s turned out wonderfully,” she says. We quickly move on to her regular, famous on-screen pairing with Akshay Kumar. Why is it that the duo’s first film together, Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, did so badly? She makes no effort to defend the dud in any way. “First and foremost, the film was too long. If we had the answers to why a film works and why it doesn’t, there would never be any flops.” We prodded her further with the regular on-screen pairing thing. Getting paired with biggies like Shah Rukh, Aamir and Hrithik is apparently more difficult for her than we thought. “Only actors like Akshay, Salman and Saif are regularly doing films. Actors like Shah Rukh and Hrithik only do one film a year, whereas Aamir does one film every two to three years. You have to be a part of the industry by working with people who are available.”

Katrina, Akshay: Still friendly and going

Looks like, rumours of a tiff between Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif were just that. Apparently, Akki and Kats are still as good friends as they once were. What sparked rumours of a fall-out between the two stars, was the fact that the duo was hardly seen together during IIFA. Moreover, there was a buzz that Akshay refused to respond to Katrina’s call during the weekend. Katrina said, “Akshay came late to Bangkok. Then, once he was here, we were all busy rehearsing for our performance. There was hardly any time.” Well, if it’s not one of the starry excuses, then well and good as their fans wouldn’t possibly like their favourite jodi parting ways.

As for her time in Bangkok, looked like, Katrina could do with some more time in hand. She said, “I love the beaches and islands here. Unfortunately, throughout the day you are busy rehearsing and then at night you are too tired to step out. But, I have seen Bangkok before and it’s a beautiful place.” This thorough professional believes in working hard when the time is right.

World’s Sexiest Woman: Katrina Kaif






Katrina Kaif is maha thrilled these days. Kats, as she is known in the industry, has just been declared the ‘Sexiest Woman in the World’ by a UK men’s entertainment magazine that held its first online poll in India. Around five lakh men voted for her. What’s more, Kats won the coveted title by defeating the likes of Hollywood superstars Angelina Jolie and Scarlett Johansson, singers Rihanna and Madonna and Bollywood stars Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Bipasha Basu, among others.
“It feels great. I think it’s the sweetest thing my fans have done,” says the actress, flashing a million dollar smile. Kats also boasts the most downloaded images online. “Isn’t that amazing?” she asks.
Considering her fan following is increasing, is she going to start a blog soon? “I’m very shy. I reach out to fans through my films. Starting a blog means updating viewers with what’s happening in your life on a daily basis, which I can’t do. I need my personal space,” says the actress.
And what, according to her, makes her the Sexiest Woman in the World? “I think people just like me in the type of roles I do. I won’t say I want to do highly dramatic or intellectual films because perhaps that’s not what my fans would like to see me in,” says the actress. “Every actor reaches a certain stage in life when he or she thinks they have to do different kinds of cinema, but I am content for now,” says the sexy woman whose good friend Salman Khan, too, apparently features in the list of Sexiest Men in the World. When are the two going to star in a film together? “I’m doing Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraj with him,” says Kats.
