Katrina Kaif driving in an open jeep with Imran Khan

Katrina Kaif driving in an open jeep with Imran Khan: It was quite a sight to see Imran Khan at the wheel of an open jeep, driving Katrina Kaif around India Gate.

But they were not on a private excursion, rather shooting the Yashraj film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in the capital. Despite the chill, Katrina was clad in a short black dress. She stood up on her seat as Imran stepped up on the gas pedal.

The duo has been hasting to complete the film’s shoot before Imran’s wedding in January. However, unexpected rain and thick fog has only delayed the shoot.

That’s certainly not pleasing Katrina who had cancelled her London trip to ring in 2011 with her family just to wrap up the shoot in time. But the weather gods had a different plan.

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif back again?

Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif back again?: It seems, this couple will keep the media confused for long. After meeting Salman Khan on his birthday, Katrina Kaif is all set to spend a couple of days with the actor and his family.

A source informed Mid Day, "Katrina has been seen bonding again with Salman and his family lately. She was spotted at his Tees Maar Khan trial and then went to wish him before he left for Dubai to bring in his birthday with an entourage of forty friends and family members."

If all goes well, Katrina will fly down tomorrow to be with Sallu and family. "Salman's parents, Salim and Salma, Helen, brothers Arbaaz, Sohail, sisters Alvira and Arpita and their children are all in Dubai, though some friends have returned. Kat might even fly down with Salman tomorrow to Dubai depending on when she wraps up for her YRF film."

The actress wants to reconnect with her ex, but doesn't want media to keep a track of this. Says a source, "Katrina is keen to get back into the Khan family fold again but she doesn't want the media know about it. Last week, she was very upset when she had gone to wish Salman a day before his birthday (on Christmas) at his Bandra residence and photographers had caught her in the act. Right now, Katrina is still testing the waters with Salman."

Katrina denies reconnecting with Salman and family. She told the tabloid, However, the actress denies any plans of going to Dubai, "I am shooting Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with YRF till January 31. If weather permits, I may go to London for a day."

What Katrina Kaif to do at New Year?

What Katrina Kaif to do at New Year?: Every year, Katrina Kaif packs her bags in the last week of December and flies to London to be with her family. However, she may not be able to do so this year.

The reason being that she is busy with the shoot of the Yashraj film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with co-stars Imran Khan and Ali Zafar. The shoot continues till December 31.

Still Katrina says she might fly to London after completing the shoot. Her only worry is that the flights to London are not cancelled due to inclement weather. Europe has been witnessing heavy snowfall lately. After all, she doesn’t want to ring in the New Year waiting at the airport.

Rumour even has it that she may fly to Dubai to join Salman Khan and his family, but Katrina has ruled that option out.

Katrina Kaif's open speach about Salman Khan

Katrina Kaif's open speach about Salman Khan: Katrina Kaif says she knows Salman Khan well enough to figure out when he’s joking and when he’s serious.

Katrna Kaif was in a fix when Salman Khan asked her on Bigg Boss 4 who her favourite co-star is, Akshay Kumar or him (Salman). Though reports suggested that Katrina was put off Salman’s questions, the lady says she knew that Sallu was asking such things in good humour.

“Salman and I have known each other for a while now and I know when he is pulling my leg and when he is serious about things. On the sets of Bigg Boss 4, this was all done in good humour,” Katrina is quoted as saying in a Live India interview.

When pointed out that Akshay is seen as her better co-star than Salman, Katrina said: “To be honest me and Salman haven’t done a fair movie together. Whereas me and Akshay have done seven movies together now. So keeping that in mind it is only fair that Akshay gets the better co-star’s title,” she said.

Talking about exposing her mid-riff for the first time in the song Sheila Ki Jawani, Katrina said: “Yes that is true and trust me while shooting for it I was supremely nervous. I had told Farah whether we can use a dupatta. But she told me to give it a shot and if I am still not comfortable then I can use the dupatta. It turned out pretty well. So much so that my brother who is not at all interested in movies welcomed me at the London airport singing Sheila Ki Jawani.”

Katrina Kaif's new challenge is 'Satsang'

Katrina Kaif's new challenge is 'Satsang': She may have been reduced to more of an eye candy in Tees Maar Khan, but Katrina Kaif is now set for what she calls the most challenging role of her career.

And that role is of a western woman seeking nirvana in India. It’s the central character in director Prakash Jha’s next film after Aarakshan, titled Satsang.

The film will be an exposé of the multi-billion dollar religious and spiritual industry in India that offers crash courses in quick salvation or long hauls of spiritual rejuvenation. With all the scams and shocking revelations about fake gurus and charlatans being exposed behind ochre robes, the film is all the more apt to come out sooner than later.

Katrina’s character is pivotal to the plot and will be seen without any make-up. Reportedly, Katrina and Jha have discussed the role in detail and Jha has agreed to rope her in.

“It would be the most challenging part of my career so far,” Katrina is quoted as saying about her role in Satsang.

Katrina and Priyanka both girls not performing at New Year?

Katrina and Priyanka both girls not performing at New Year?: Recently it was reported that Priyanka Chopra has turned down an offer to perform at a New Years’ bash to retain her diva image that she has built up over the years.

On the other hand the tabloids were rife that Malaika Arora and Katrina Kaif will try to out-do each other with their respective hit item numbers. Malaika with “Munni Badnam Hui” from the film ‘Dabaang’ and Katrina with “Shiela Ki Jawani” from ‘Tees Maar Khan’ were to perform at two different venues of the same hotel chain.

Later on it was revealed that Katrina will be joining her family at UK for the New Years and hence there will be no face-off between Malaika and Katrina during the New Years’ bash. But now Katrina has said that she will neither be joining her family this time nor will she be performing for the live audience to sexy number “Shiela Ki Jawani” during the 31st Dec’ night.

It has been reported that Kats has turned down a lucrative offer of Rs. 3.5 crore offered to her for the performance, while Piggy Chops has earlier turned down Rs. 3 crore. On the other hand Malaika has decided to postpone her New Yeas even family party to dance to Munni number for an undisclosed exorbitant amount.

Katrina while talking about the New Years’ live performances said that she would like to enjoy herself rather than dancing in front of the audience. She even took a possible dig at Malaika by telling that performing at such an event is like telling people that “I don’t have a life”.

After last time Kaif has been conscious to stay out of such a New Year’s program since she was almost taken to a court by an organizer after she backed out from perform at a Mumbai’s luxury hotel. So this time two B- town hotties Piggy Chops and Kat have decided to go the same way of not performing on New Years’ eve.

Katrina Kaif spoted at Salman Khan’s house

Katrina Kaif spoted at Salman Khan’s house: Kat wished Salman Happy Birthday.

They may have broken up, but Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif continue to remain good friends.

So no surprise that we spotted Katrina at Salman’s house, Galaxy Apartments, a day before Salman’s 44th birthday.

Needless to say, she was there to wish Salman in advance because he flew out of Mumbai, to Dubai, with his family to celebrate the birthday.

Salman Khan to receive birthday gift from Katrina Kaif in advance

Salman Khan to receive birthday gift from Katrina Kaif in advance: Now this is news! When everybody is speculating whether there is a strain in the friendship between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif especially after it was reported that the macho Bollywood actor's digs about Ranbir Kapoor did not go down too well with Kat, TOI spotted Sallu's ex-flame paying him a visit on Saturday night.

Kat drove into Salman's Galaxy pad in Bandstand (Bandra) late evening and even stayed there for at least one-and-a-half hours bonding with him as well as his family members.

We hear that she was there to wish him in advance for his brithday. Family sources tell us that Salman was very friendly with Kat and vice versa and they had a blast chatting up after ages as both were busy with their respective shooting commitments. "Kat had some food at Salman's pad and caught up on some hearty conversation.

By the way they were interacting with each other, nothing seems to be wrong between the relationship that they have been sharing. Kat continues to be close to the entire Khan family and considers Salman to be her advisor and, most importantly, a very close friend. Salman, too, is quite fond of her. They hugged each other and spent at least one hour with just each other." What's also interesting is that Salman even escorted Kat all the way to her car when she was leaving and waited at the door waving to her till her car zoomed away.

Katrina Kaif rejected 3.5 crores offers for New Year eve

Katrina Kaif rejected 3.5 crores offers for New Year eve: Katrina Kaif cannot sacrifice her New Year celebration at any cost. Quite literally, the lady turned down an offer of Rs 3.5 crore to dance on her ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ anthem from ‘Tees Maar Khan’ on this New Year eve.

While Malaika Arora postponed her New Year vacation with husband Arbaaz Khan, when an entertainment group offered her a large undisclosed sum for her ‘Munni’ gig, Kat chose to stay away from the drunken revelers on December 31.

A source close to Katrina revealed, “A suburban luxury hotel offered her Rs 3.5 crores for the gig. Frankly, Katrina was tempted. But she backed out in time.”

Interestingly, the stunning ladies, both acquainted to Salman Khan have revealed a contrasting attitude to their dance numbers.

On asking Katrina about any dancing offer at this New Year eve, she said, “Are you crazy? I am not dancing at any hotel on New Year`s eve. To be entertaining a live audience that night instead of enjoying oneself as another year slips in - how sad is that! It`s almost like you are telling the audience, `Hey guys, I don`t have a life.”

“It`s true I am not going on my annual family holiday, but the reason is not a lucrative dance offer,” she added.

Akshay shares titbits about 'Kat' from behind the scenes of TMK

Akshay shares titbits about 'Kat' from behind the scenes of TMK: Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif return again to the big screen this Friday with Farah Khan’s much-awaited film Tees Maar Khan. As expected, the duo had a lot of fun while shooting the film.

During the shoot of the song ‘Bade Dilwala’, a funny incident happened when Katrina accidentally hit Akshay.

“We were shooting for the song Bade dilwala and Katrina got so involved in her dance that she actually hit me hard with her elbow. The impact was such that the shooting had to be stalled for two hours,” Akshay told reporters while promoting the film in New Delhi. He was accompanied with Katrina and Farah Khan.

When asked if he isn’t worried about being typecast as a comedy hero, Akshay said he did comedies because that what audiences want to see.

“I don't think I have lowered down my experimentation level as I am only doing what the audience wants. Audience today only want full entertainment which can be provided only through comedy,” Akshay said.

To everyone’s delight Akshay and Katrina also danced to the tune of ‘Sheila Ki Jawani’ at the promotional event.

“When we shoot for any song, there are often many cuts but I enjoy performing in front of live audiences because the response makes me feel good,” Akshay said after the dance.

Katrina too talked about her raunchy song in the film.

“Sheila is a character which will always remain close to my heart as compared to my earlier roles,” she said.

Deepika, Katrina, Priyanka: keep the media in 2010 buzz

Deepika, Katrina, Priyanka: keep the media in 2010 buzz: Like stardom in showbiz and mainly in the world of Bollywood nothing stays forever, not even relationships.  People continuously falls in and out of love and 2010 was no different while some had their share of heartbreaks, some found their love and got hitched.  But there were also some who left the tabloids guessing about their love lives, here are the three ladies who kept the media on their toes with the guess work.

Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone might take pot-shots at each other and fail to see eye to eye but their life is filled with link-ups. While both these actresses had high profile breakups from their boyfriends, Kat from Salman Khan and Deepika from Ranbir Kapoor, they were alleged to have found someone else.

Kaif was rumored to be dating Ranbir post his break-up with Deepika, though none of the stars confirmed the news and the buzz is that Ranbir is busy now cozying up with co-star of ‘Rockstar’ Nargis Fakhri. On the other hand Padukone after having an affair that played out on the media with Ranbir is now rumored to be heating up the love life with Siddharth Maallya. Once again Deeps has refused to confirm it and have come up with the same cliché “we are good friends.”

Priyanka Chopra who was pretty forthcoming about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Harman Baweja is now in the mood to conceal about the affair she has with Shahid Kapoor. For the last on e year the media has been busy with their on-and-off relationship. While not very long ago it was reported that they have broken up and deleted each other from their social networking sites, they were back together at ‘Koffee with Karan’ and is reported to be working things out.

Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Farah Khan's exclusive Interview

Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Farah Khan's exclusive Interview: Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Farah Khan flew into London this week to promote TEES MAAR KHAN. From 'Sheila Ki Jawani' to Shah Rukh Khan's casting controversies, the film consistently generated column inches. Our correspondent went head-to-head with the director and stars of the movie, to talk about the production. Trade analysts are predicting it will be the biggest Bollywood grosser of 2010.

What is the USP of this film?
Akshay: The USP of TEES MAAR KHAN is the kind of role that I have been offered in the movie. Also, that I am working with Farah for the first time. On top of that we have 'Sheila Ki Jawani'.

Can you confirm the rumours that the project was first offered to Shah Rukh Khan?
Farah: When it was decided that I was going to direct the film the first person I called was Akshay and he was the only choice. Akshay was fabulous to work with. As a star to have in your film, he is bang on with time. If you want him there at 6am he will be there at 5.30am. He brings 200% and gives everything to the shot. Other than that, he improvises and will give you two or three variations of how to do it.

How did you decide on the casting of Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif?
Farah: For me, it was the first time I was working with Akshay and Katrina both. For a long time I resisted bringing the two of them together as I thought they had been together in too many movies. But I think we have presented them in a very different way, both of them are not doing anything we have seen before, and they look like different actors. When they come together their chemistry is so special, and when the camera goes on, magic happens. You cannot explain two people's chemistry, but for them it is there in abundance. They are also both tall, good looking and they complement each other physically.

What was it like working with Farah?
Katrina: There are a few directors who you want to work with on the basis of their talent and their reputation. In this film it was definitely a case of that with Farah. Luckily for me there were a lot of things that I found challenging in this film, obviously the songs and the level of the dancing expected.

Akshay: She is a very strict director, and if she was only allowed to have a cane in her hands. She loves beating up people.

And working with each other again?
Katrina: (Laughs) I had to be brought to set screaming and kicking.

Did you realize 'Sheila Ki Jawani' would be such a hit?
Katrina: I had not worked with Farah for many years, and her songs are always hugely talked about and they have always been a focal point. Especially the songs the girl have done like Sushmita Sen's 'Tumhe Jo Maine Dekha' in MAIN HOON NA and Deepika's [Padukone] introduction song in OM SHANTI OM. All her movies have that one really special song for the girls and I didn't want to let anyone down. I was very nervous about it and put in those hours to make sure I did the best that I could.

Farah: I knew 'Sheela Ki Jawani' would be a big hit. We composed it, constructed it and choreographed it in such a way. But it is incredible that it has gone onto become this kind of a rage, with people watching it a hundred times on YouTube. What is surprising is that little kids are loving it. Maybe it is a children's jingle. When Akshay saw it, he said in small cities they are going to stop the film and replay the song again.

Akshay: It will be fun watching this song in the interiors of India. I watch each and every film on the theatre, and when I am shooting in the interiors I love to watch films and literally they throw money at such kind of songs.

Farah: And this time I am going to be there right in front to pick up all the money.

How do you feel about the battle that has developed between Munni vs Sheila?
Katrina: I don't think we ever realized it, as when we were shooting the song, DABANGG had not yet released. I don't think Farah and I want to compare or fight or anything like that. It is about doing the best that I can do for this song. In my opinion, it is very different to the songs in DABANGG, which coincidentally Farah has done anyway.

How did Salman Khan come onboard for the project?
Farah: I asked Salman Khan to do a song for our movie as there were rumours already that he was in it. I asked him if he would do it and he agreed. It was as simple as that.

Does the movie show off your comic actor or action hero skills?
Akshay: Well there is not much action in this film. It is more comic, because the way the character is written, if there is any action he doesn't want to fight he just wants to run away, and will come back when there are less people and he can handle then very easily. So the character is like that.

Why is the film releasing earlier in the international market?
Farah: In the UK and US we are releasing earlier because the holidays begin on 22nd, so we get a really long weekend. We want to get the advantage of a bigger opening weekend and we get a five-day weekend this way. In the Middle East we release 23rd because all films release on a Thursday over there.

‘Bade Dilwala’ Tees Maar Khan video song: Katrina Kaif ka Jhatka

‘Bade Dilwala’ Tees Maar Khan video song: Katrina Kaif ka Jhatka: Katrina Kaif’s saucy moves in the song Sheila Ki Jawani is a big rage nationwide. Now, catch her dancing like never before in another song.

The actress who is often called expressionless is showing ghazab facial expressions in Tees Maar Khan. Here is another song from the movie: a visual treat for Katrina fans.

The lady has donned sexy short ghagra for this song which is shot in a village setting. Actually the song is on Akshay Kumar but Kat steals the show with her gyrations.

The duo is later seen romancing in an open field. This song is described as a spectacular “Kheiton Ka Geet” performed by none other than Akshay and Katrina and sung by Shreya Ghoshal and Sukhwinder Singh.

Salman Khan teased Katrina over Ranbir on Bigg Boss

Salman Khan teased Katrina over Ranbir on Bigg Boss: Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif have always made headlines for their on-off relationship. So when they recently came face to face on the Bigg Boss 4,  Salman didn't miss the opportunity to pull Katrina's leg in his trademark mischievous style .

Katrina had come with Farah Khan on the Bigg Boss show as a part of promotion of her upcoming film Tees Maar Khan.

 Salman Khan teased Katrina on how, after working with seasoned costars like Akshay Kumar and himself, she is now working with younger actors like Ranbir Kapoor. Referring to the descending age of her costars, Salman on a funny note asked, "Aur kitna neeche jaane ka irada hai madam". The moment Salman mentioned Ranbir's name, the television cameras panned on Katz face, though she chose to ignore the remark and look down.

While one could clearly sense that Salman's impish digs and barbs were irritating Katrina, the actress maintained a graceful smile on her face throughout. But Salman did not give up easily and went on to ask Katrina if she would want to act with actors... even younger than Ranbir. Probably trying to hide her embarrassment, Katrina simply smiled back and became a part of the game.

Interestingly this is not the first time that Salman Khan has put Katrina Kaif in a spot on national television. The actor was at his funniest best as the host of the game show Dus Ka Dum in the episode when Katrina Kaif and Neil Mukesh had come as a part of promotion of their film New York. Salman's incessant digs had put Katrina in an embarrassing situation even then.

Do you want to reply to that Katz?

Katrina Kaif's rising fan following

Katrina Kaif's rising fan following: Looks like the Sheila ki jawani item song has sure increased the demand for and popularity of Katrina Kaif, observes a kauwa from Kolkata. Crow goes on to say that the lissome lass, who was promoting her forthcoming film, Tees Maar Khan in the Bengal capital was followed by a lanky guy from the airport to her hotel.

So much so that the admirer even jumped signals on the way… only to be stopped by the security at the hotel. When Kat heard that her fan was begging and pleading to meet her, she asked her chauffeur to fetch him.

When the lad met the actor, he said that he had only one request, that Kaif talk to his kid sister, a die-hard fan who was out of town and was sobbing that she couldn’t see her idol. Bas, aur kya?

Apni Sheila calmed the guy, offered him a cola and then told him to call his sister. She spoke to her little fan and even posed a picture for the lad before seeing him off with a smile. Guess that’s the secret of her increasing following, of being nice to her fans. Hmmm.
