| SHAHRUKH KHAN, KATRINA KAIF |
Her confidence and attitude might reflect on her face but Kareena Kapoor seems to claim that she's not arrogant at all.
She's said, "The world is yet to understand what is it like being Kareena Kapoor. They are busy making speculations. Let them do so."
She makes it clear that she's not happy about the fact that her flop films make a lot of unnecessary news.
She's said, "When any of my film flops, every news channel would run it as a ticker. I guess the case is that I was never an underdog.
People and media like those who come from small towns and make it big. They don't like people who are something and manage to achieve bigger things in life. We have to keep innovating ourselves constantly but they enjoy running us down."
She's proud of 'Tashan' for which she flaunted her size zero look throughout 2008.
She says, "Irrespective of the fact that the movie worked or not; every single bachcha knows about the film — my bikini shot, orange juice diet and… zero figure. Even my daughter will know about the film."
Only talking about the love of her life Saif warms her up.
She says, "He is too relaxed. He is in his own industry. Saif will never sign a film until it interests him to the core. Not even, if it calls for sitting idle for a year. He only works in films he believes in. And one of them is the upcoming Saif's home production, directed by Sriram Raghvan where we'll act together."
Come what may and whatever the world says, this gal loves to pull a Kapoor and flaunt her attitude every single time. That's Kareena Kapoor for you.
A report in a Marathi paper that she's married has the actress incredulous with disbelief.
"It's complete rubbish and the paper is denying it. When I marry the world will know. Right now I've no such plans."
But she isn't denying that she's with Salman. In fact one of her abiding regrets is that she and Salman have not been able to form a saleable pair on screen. Katrina had hoped Yuvraaj would work, so that she and Salman would be a saleable pair and filmmakers would sign her with Salman as eagerly as they do with Akshay Kumar and Ranbir Kapoor.
Apparently Subhash Ghai kept writing the script as the film progressed.
After a pause Katrina says, "I'd like to stick to a bound script from now on. The time has come for the entire film industry to get completely organized. A script helps both the director and the actor to connect wth each other and with the plot. I'm not going to be shy about insisting on a script.
Tell her she had very little space in Yuvraaj, and Katrina admits, "Yeah, that was something I grew gradually aware of. I didn't have that much to do. But that's okay."
Katrina's sister Isabel is not getting into Bollywood. Not right now.
Says Katrina, "That was something which was blown out of all proportions. At the moment she's too young to take up an acting career. In fact my sister is off to drama school. Something I never got to do, and I wish I had. Not being a trained actress bothers me me and I am happy that my sister is taking that route."
However, not attending school doesn't make Katrina feel inadequate as an actress. "I think I had to undertake my own journey and do things my own way. I learnt on the job. I think I've acquired knowledge of the camera on-camera.
So no regrets about not attending any acting school. If I had regrets about any aspect of my career I'd be the most ungrateful person on the planet. Look at the level of acceptance I've received in so little time. Some people don't get this kind of success after working all their lives."
Katrina is nonchalant about not being considered a lucky mascot any more after the failure of Yuvraaj. "I think that's just people talking a lot of nonsense. Actors far more intelligent and talented than me have had to deal with ups and downs. Sooner or later I'd have had to deal with failure. No point in brooding about it. I've learnt my lessons from the Yuvraaj experience."
Commenting on the constant speculation on their relationship Katrina says, "That's bound to happen. If you're a public figure and at the end of the day neither of the party is clarifying anything, there's bound to be a lot of speculation and unnecessary comment. But I'm not going to get provoked into giving explanations. Because once they start, they never end."
What about that damning picture of Katrina with her face covered as she entered her birthday party last year?
"That wasn't when I entered the party. The picture was atken was while we were leaving. I was tired….and yes, I was disappointed. I didn't want it to be turned into tamasha. It wasn't meant that to be.
I realize I can't be talked about only for my work. You can't have things exactly the way you want them to be. You can't have fans and now get blown away by the breeze once in a while."

Kareen Kapoor and Ileana are two of the most beautiful women in the film industry today. The two do not do anything specific to keep their figure in shape. Kareena revealed that she eats mini meals at regular intervals and eats up to eight times in a day. She also does yoga twice every day. Ileana does not follow any particular diet regimen but she does not have a sweet tooth. Otherwise she eats just bout everything. Ileana attributes the secret of her good looks to her mother. She says that she got her good looks from her mother. She lso goes to the gym whenever she finds the time.
Katrina Kaif's birthday at Olive Bar and Kitchen, Bandra on Wednesday brought out hidden hostilities between Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan out in the open. An eyewitness at the party reveals, "Salman was already high when SRK and Gauri walked in. After downing a few more drinks, Sallu started picking on SRK."
Apparently the host was upset with SRK because he turned down Sallu's request to do a guest appearance in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, which is being produced by Salman and Sohail. Salman felt snubbed as he has always gone out of his way for SRK, whether it was appearing on KBC with girlfriend Katrina, or dancing for SRK's home production Om Shanti Om. The resentment was bubbling under the surface, and under the influence, Salman dropped the façade and began lashing out at SRK.Name-callingThe Khans were sitting across each other, surrounded by a few close friends, who quickly moved away when things started getting heated.
Shah Rukh, who is famous for his hot temper, didn't react to Salman's outburst initially but when the abuse continued, he began trading insult for insult. The source continues, "Sallu told SRK, 'Your show Paanchvi Paas is a big flop and now you are trying to sabotage my show. You are a matlabi insaan. You only call people when you need them, and then don't keep in touch.' SRK not one to take name-calling lightly, told Salman, 'No one wants to watch your show, or be friends with you'. At this point, Salman told SRK to keep quiet or he would beat him up."Shah Rukh, who often describes himself as 'Delhi Ka Goonda' laughed and told Salman, 'Tu kya marega? Tu haath toh utha, main maroonga tujhe. Woh bhi teri party main, aur tere doston ke saamne.' The two men stared at each other and would've come to blows within minutes had Gauri not intervened and told SRK that she wanted to leave.
SRK allowed his wife to take his arm and the duo left the party. Salman didn't try to stop them.Pehla jhagdaSalman and Shah Rukh's first panga goes back a long way when they fought during the shooting of Chalte Chalte (2003) which was being produced by SRK. At that time, Salman was dating Aishwarya Rai who was acting in the film. A high Salman had barged on to Shah Rukh's sets to meet his girl and disrupted the shooting.
An upset Shah Rukh replaced Aishwarya with Rani Mukerji. The two Khans stopped speaking to each other.They patched up at Farah Khan's sangeet on Dec 8, 2004. Salman went up to SRK and hugged him emotionally and a truce was called.
Twinke Khanna made a sudden entry on the finale day of the IIFA 2008 event. Was it to check on her husband since Katrina and Akshay were performing together and there was no sign of Salman around? She clung to Akshay throughout and made sure he never left her side even for a few moments or even attend his calls. There were talks going around that Katrina was trying to call up Akshaye frantically before the performance but Akshay didn't pick up the phone. Was it because Twinkle was sitting with him?
Kat baby got so pissed off with all these stories that she decided to give to give it back, "People need to stop imagining so much. This is pure imagination on someone's part. Akshay Kumar came in for the show in the night and left right after as he had a flight to catch. I had dinner with Twinkle and some of her friends after that and even my mom was with me. So what's with these stories?"
Once it comes to the Bollywood nights people can easily visualize the jingling dances, dazzling appearances and giggling gags. Coming to the last section, our cool dudes Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh tickled all the heads around. But exceptions are always there. Guess what!
Boman Irani and Riteish Deshmukh made the IIFA 2008 night all the more interesting with their good sense of humour.
The funny guys who made fun of almost everything and everyone under the sun became the reason for celebrities grumbling under their breath. They performed a gag in which they showed their own versions of the best film nominations like Partner, Jab We Met etc was really funny and had the entire audience in splits.
But there were few who didn’t seem so happy with these guys making fun of their films and amongst them was Katrina Kaif!
The sweet charmy was gloomy all the while the males were cracking on the IIFA stage. Seemingly, Kat was carrying a Sallu affected image.
But see, in the same space Bebe was all so cool and enjoying cracklings all through their performance. Katrina should take a lesson from Kareena.
The latter was laughing even though Riteish and Boman didn’t shy away from making Shahid Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan a happy couple after showing Kareena eloping with Riteish and Boman.
Well, it would be interesting to see whether Kat’s angry boyfriend Salman takes all these sportingly or else both Ritiesh and Boman would have to face the same fate as Vivek Oberoi, who is struggling for films after his problems with Sallu Miya came out in open.
Anees Bazmee’s Welcome released at the end of last year was a super hit at the box-office and therefore it came as no surprise when the director declared plans for the sequel Welcome Back. The film will star Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Anil Kapoor but leading lady Katrina won’t be a part of it.
Katrina Kaif, the only actress to have achieved four back to back successes last year in Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome has surely started 2008 with a bang!! The actress is going steady in her 'Race' and the two hot and sexy numbers 'Touch Me' and 'Sexy Lady' in Abbas Mustan's film 'Race' has already caught the attention of public. The songs have now topped the music charts and Katrina is surely in the reckoning for bigger achievements now!
Abbas-Mustan, having decided to cash on to the success that the pair, Saif-Katrina have got, have added another happening number in the film and the song now finds a place in the audio tracks too.
To add on to everything, Katrina's Rs 6 cr deal with Studio 18 has generated interest amongst other A-list production houses who want to crack a similar contract with her.
Well, well, Katrina is surely going places now!!!
