What does Katrina Kaif have that Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra and Bipasha Basu do not... and, please, don’t say Salman Khan!This is not about her personal life that’s been splashed about in the media enough already. We are talking about sex quotient... the oomph factor, that sizzle and ability to turn on men and drive them into mad slaves over you. Don’t know — right, because Kareena & Co have it all in abundance as well. But yet, it’s Katrina who’s been voted India’s Sexiest Woman for a consecutive year by an international men’s magazine in a poll. Last year she knocked out Kareena, Deepika and Bipasha to clinch the title, this time she held onto it despite stiff competition again from Kareena and Bipasha, in addition to an added threat from Priyanka. And this after these three actresses sent men’s pulses racing by doing swimsuit scenes in their films, which is something Katrina has not yet ventured to attempt.
“It feels good to be voted by fans and that too in such huge numbers, but I don’t think if you wear a bikini or show skin, you look sexy. I would rather say I’m pretty,” said the actress who, the magazine said, bridges the gap between the West and the East with ease. Urban Indian men are found to like her because she has an international yet Indian look. She’s equally popular on the Net and was recently honoured by a big website for being the Most Searched Actress online. Is she disturbed at the possibility of perverts downloading and misusing her pictures? “I would rather not think about them,” she laughed. Who does the Sexiest Woman in India think is the Hottest Man in Bollywood from among those she is working with — John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Ranbir Kapoor...? “Only if I’m in love with a man, I find him hot. But I think Neil is the cutest,” she laughed again, prettily and sexily and, well, cleverly.

Your film Dev D's promos have managed to create a lot of flutter. Could you tell us a little about the film besides the fact that it's a modern day interpretation of Devdas.
Coming to the cast, how did you zero in on Abhay Deol, Mahi Gill and Kalki for the three protagonists?
I don't think so. The film does deal with sexuality but it shows less sex than any normal Hindi film. You won't find those pelvic thrusts and other such sexual innuendos which we see in numerous films.

Q.Your first thought when you were offered CC2C
Q. Has Akshay seen any of your action scenes, has he commented anything?
Th was wonderful working with mr. Dee dee Ku, but during the action sequence I use to curse them it was so painful and difficult and next day I use to wonder how will I do that. But he would come on the set with a silky hair and a smile on his face like all will be ok.
There is theis beautiful slow song where I and Akshay jumps of from the building. The entire song is CG, and it’s a different experience, as its slow romantic song and most women tend to be dancing but I was tied to the cable and was having umbrella in my hand and holding Akshay with one hand because it’s the whole thing where I'm rescuing him and this umbrella helps rescue both of us. Thought romantic being on cables this was the most painful song.

This is the time when we filmmakers need to be fearless and experiment with themes. Fearlessness is my biggest asset as a filmmaker. I will continue to make films that come from deep within me.
Why don't you clarify the misconceptions when they occur?
Aishwarya is very special to me. She suits the role in my new film to perfection. When she read the script she was deeply moved. Of course true friend that she is, she told me she would've agreed to work with me even if I didn't send her the script. But it's important for an actor to be convinced of what he or she is doing.

The committee liked the film a lot and the concerned person called me to congratulate me on how good Taare Zameen Par was.
