Akshay Kumar wants only Katrina Kaif

Of all the beautiful babes in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif still remains Akshay Kumar’s number one choice as co-star.

Though Katrina is in the top league of Bollywood actresses today, she is seldom credited for it. Often we hear rants about how Katrina struck fame by cashing in on the popularity of a crowd-puller like Akshay Kumar .

But, may be, it worked the other way round too. That Akshay while being the star to which Kat hitched her wagon also benefited from her as a co-star. How otherwise could one explain Akshay’s failed jodis with the likes of Deepika Padukone and Ayesha Takia in the last two of his releases – Chandni Chowk To China and 8x10 Tasveer respectively.

Now, perhaps Akshay himself has realized that he needs Kat as much she needs him for a successful Bollywood career. For when director Priyadarshan asked Akshay which actress he would like to have in the film De Dana Dan before the movie’s shoot began, Akshay had just one name on his lips.

Your guess is as good as ours.

Of course, today we know that Katrina Kaif is the film’s heroine and has already shot one schedule of the film and is currently filming its second schedule in Singapore. But she may not have landed the role if Akshay hadn’t recommended her to Priyadarshan.

The director confirms that Katrina was signed for ‘De Dana Dan’ after Akshay’s recommendation. He says he’s happy to have made that choice because, in his words, Akshay and Katrina share a “terrific chemistry on screen”.

Well, we all know that.

Katrina sides Sallu

Ok, so while the Ranbir-Deepika pyar ka insecure kissa gains momentum on one end, there’s another ajab kahani at the other.

It, of course, has everything to do with Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan’s ishq-vishq. They are so used to reading about their break-up stories, that every time such a tale is out in print they hurriedly make an appearance together! Coincidence? Anyway, our dear Katrina is always asked questions about beau Khan’s fading career... unfortunately Sallu’s last few films haven’t done too well at the box office, na?... all this, while his lady Kaif is riding a high horse! But KK has been sweet enough to maintain rather sternly, “No matter how well or badly Salman’s films do, he’ll always be a superstar. There’s just no taking away from that fact; he’ll always be iconic...” Now in matters that concern the heart, it’s not too easy to say dil pe mat le yaar!

Katrina Kaif is the Barbie girl

Glam doll Katrina Kaif will be the Indian face of the new Celebrity Barbie. Aishwarya Rai had reportedly been approached first, but declined due to lack of time.

“Mattel [the toymaker] proposed that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan endorse the Barbie doll, but as her prior commitments stretched her for time, she had to decline,” says a statement issued by Aishwarya’s spokesperson.

Kat is quite happy to lap it up; she endorses Barbie in the iconic doll’s 50th year. “It is so much fun to endorse a Barbie doll,” Katrina says to HT City. “Almost every girl has grown up playing with the doll and so have I, so it feels great. My
sisters would be really happy to know that I am endorsing this brand.”

The diva is delighted to have walked the runway as the showstopper at a special show dedicated to Barbie at the Lakmé Fashion Week in Mumbai. The show, Barbie — All Doll’d Up, was held yesterday afternoon, and had several Indian designers showcasing Barbie-inspired outfits.

This was a competition segment, and Katrina wore the dress created by the winning designer.

Katrina Kaif planning to serve food!

Katrina Kaif is into health foods and diets these days and wants to put all that thought into a restaurant which will serve her favourite food. Talking about her dream project, Kat says, "I want to open a restaurant in partnership. I am on the lookout for a business partner. I don't have the time to handle the day-to-day nitty-gritty of the business though I do intend being there as much as possible.

My partner would have to be someone who has experience in the restaurant business and will be able to give his time as I am a novice in this field. Hopefully, I should clinch a deal soon." The actress is clear about what she wants. "I want the restaurant to be styled and designed something along the lines of a London or New York high-end coffee shop somewhere classy and cool.

It will be along the lines of a coffee house/bar/lounge/ restaurant dealing with specialised international cuisine. The restaurant will be in Bandra. I want my place to serve really good coffees. It's sometimes difficult to get a really good cappuccino which I love here."

Katrina wants her place to have a comfortable feel where people can meet and hang out during the day and come to for a great dinner at night. "There will be several comfortable couches and chairs to sit on and read books and stuff and the perfect place to go, get work done and then relax over several coffees or drinks."

Katrina and Kareena strike up friendship

Those who thought that two successful Bollywood actresses of equal stature can’t be friends might just have to eat crow.
Kareena Kapoor and Katrina Kaif have always been pitted against each other for reasons partly inexplicable. True, Kareena is amongst the talented lot in Bollywood, while Katrina has struck fame by dint of her looks and by hitching her wagon to a star ( Akshay Kumar ). And with Kareena’s lack of diplomacy in expressing her disdain for “expressionless” actors, it was always taken for granted that Bebo has the same opinion about Salman’s babe.

But surprise, surprise, surprise! The two divas are turning out to be chums.

Bebo and Kat bonded like two chirpy sahelis at the wedding of Amrita Arora and Shakeel Ladak recently. The two ladies just yapped away for hours, much to the surprise of everyone, most of all their beaus – Saif Ali Khan and Salman Khan – both of who must have felt ignored.

It’s not that the two ladies bonded because the occasion was celebratory. It turns out Bebo and Kat have been in touch since last few months. Speaking to a tabloid, Katrina calls Bebo her “inspiration on how to have a fab, healthy body” and admits taken health tips from her.

Kareena, on the other hand, calls Kat “a sweetheart…who is true to herself”.

And we thought two top actresses could only bitch about each other!

Katrina Kaif Plays Small Role in 'Blue'

Akshay Kumar's upcoming film, 'Blue' has been the talk of the town lately; with international pop star Kylie Minogue descending upon Mumbai to film an item song as well as a few scenes. With all the frenzy it might be easy to forget that there are other Bollywood stars in the film, including Katrina Kaif.

Now when you mention Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the same film, one automatically expects Katrina to have a full-fledged role in the film, remember 'Namaste London,' 'Humko Deewana Kar Gaye,' 'Welcome' and 'Singh Is Kinng'? Well if that's what you expect from 'Blue' then you'll be in for a surprise!

In actuality, the film's leading heroine is Lara Dutta and Katrina is just doing an item song and a few scenes in the film. While rumors have been swirling that her role in the movie has been extended to cash in on her star value, Katrina herself confirmed that her she has a very small role in the film. Too bad for all of Kat's legions of fans!

She's already shot her scenes in Bangkok and will be shooting her item song in Mumbai soon. It's rumored that while she's paired opposite Akshay in the film (uhh... duh!) she gets killed off after a few scenes. While you'd think Katrina wouldn't be happy with that, the actress has actually known the size of her role since the beginning. Hmm... maybe Akshay had a helping hand in getting her aboard!

But Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif fans shouldn't feel too down in the dumps, because the duo will be seen in full-fledged roles starring opposite each other in the upcoming film, 'De Dhana Dhan,' very soon! So what do you think of Katrina's small role in 'Blue'? Do you think she should have a bigger role? Drop us a comment with your thoughts!

prague sets katrina's heart racing!

29 Oct 2008, 0000 hrs IST, TNN
However, the Bollywood hottie is not as defensive when it comes to talking about the other love of her life that has her brimming with excitement.

But good friend Salman Khan need not lose his cool or his shirt yet. The actress has not fallen in love with a guy, rather it’s the beautiful Prague — where she had recently been shooting for Subhash Ghai’s Yuvraaj — that has set her heart racing.

“I think it’s one of the most romantic places I’ve been to. It’s so calm, serene and beautiful. I’ve had some lovely experiences there,” she exclaimed. Though not ready to divulge much about her lovely experiences, we’re sure, the fact that she was shooting there with Salman definitely made it all the more lovelier. “Oh, I had a fun time shooting there. Subhash sir, Anil and Salman all of them are
thorough
professionals so there’s a lot to learn from them always,” she added. “In fact I am even planning on coming here once again as soon as I decide to treat myself to a nice vacation!” Well, and no points for
guessing who’d she rather be spending her vacation in Prague with, right Salman?
