Katrina Kaif is miffed with Imran Khan?

Since last few days Mumbai tabloids have been carrying reports about how a miffed Katrina Kaif has walked out of Sanjay Gadhvi’s 7 Days in Paris because of her to be co-star Imran Khan’s constant interference in the scripting. We caught up with Katrina at the New York press meet where she cleared air about this so called controversy. Katrina’s reply to our query on the same was, “The script is still being done. So once it’s complete I will take the call.” She further went on to add, “It’s much more fun working with younger co-stars like Ranbir Kapoor, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Imran Khan, since we are of the same age and there’s a certain connect. Though I have worked with senior stars but there is a certain respect and restraint while working with them. With the younger heroes I am more carefree.” Katrina Kaif, who has made a mark in Bollywood with her stunning looks coupled with acting talent, also says that she will never do a film for money. The 24-year-old actress, whose earnings support her family of seven sisters, said there are times when she feels that she needs the money being offered to do a particular film. "I am in a panic situation. But, If I succumb to such pressures, I know the audience will not respect me, " Katrina told in an interview. The actress, who made her debut in Bollywood with box-office disaster Boom has not looked back since finding success with Akshay Kumar starrer Namaste London. Looking back at her career Katrina says that she considers her journey so far as a learning experience. "I went through a learning phase and I consider myself lucky to have learnt discipline from my co-stars Akshay Kumar, Govinda, Salman. They have helped me to strengthen my fundamentals, " she said. "But if you stagnate, the growth is over. I have done many comedy films. Success of films like Partner, Singh is Kinng gets you to a very wide audience reach. But for greater gains, you need to take greater gambles. If it works, you get respect and recognition, " Katrina said. Katrina is optimistic about her upcoming Yashraj film New York with John Abraham and Niel Nitin Mukesh, which is releasing on June 26. "When I first asked director Kabir Khan about my character, he told me that Maya is like every girl... she is you without make up and costumes. I realised that he was telling me to be myself in the film, " Katrina said. "When I saw the film last week, I saw me. I can't be myself in every movie of mine. But when that happens, the film has to be special. I was taken aback at Kabir's grasp of the subject and story telling style, " she said. The actress feels that the audiences should not go with pre-conceived notions to watch New York. "The film has all Indian emotions, but its narrative is very English movie style. New York may not be a typical masala entertainer, but has all the right ingredients to connect with the audiences, " the actress said. Katrina may have signed hard-core films like Rajniti and Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani but she does not want to be part of preachy, art house movies because she believes that cinema is a medium to entertain. The star feels that it is time for her to give 100 per cent priority to her career at present because she does not want to be complacent and disappoint her audiences. "I am not working to earn a living, but I am living movies. I am finding me enjoying the process, " she said. 'Aajab Prem ki Gajab Kahani' with Ranbir Kapoor will be her next release, followed by Akshay Kumar's De Dana Dhan. "We will start shooting for Rajniti from August end. So far, we have shot the political portions in Bhopal, " she added.

No Sallu at Kat’s b’day!

Remember the tamasha that Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan created at Katrina Kaif’s birthday last July in a Bandra restaurant?

How could anybody forget the incident that threatened to split Bollywood down the middle with that other Khan, Aamir, doing his best and failing to patch up the prickly differences that cropped up and still exist between Sallu and SRK! Well, it’s birthday time again, and this year, the sensitive Katrina, who is under a lot of pressure already within and outside Bollywood, seems determined to make her party a happy, safe and stress-free occasion.

The actress is taking off for a rare, full-family reunion in London this July to coincide with her birthday on the 19th. Katrina, while not admitting that the idea is to keep out Salman, has confirmed that she is planning a family holiday in July. “I’ve been burning the midnight oil to make myself free for my family and I’m exhausted and stressed. I can’t wait to go home. Though I’ve met parts of my family on every visit, all of us eight siblings have not been together in nine years... can you believe it! I really want to do this,” said the actress.

She’s the middle sister among seven girls of the Kaif family and has always said it was a traumatic experience to wrench herself away from this family cocoon in London and make a career on her own in Mumbai. According to close friends, Katrina was petrified of the isolation in her adopted place of residence. That’s why when Salman’s family took her in their fold, she reciprocated their affection and remains eternally grateful to them.

Today, the fact that she wants to return home and rejoin her family on an occasion when Salman last year created major embarrassment to her, suggests Katrina’s trying hard to gently move away from her adopted family in Mumbai. She, of course, will be the last to admit this. To BT, the gorgeous actress just said, “I’m so looking forward to being with my sisters. My brother is also going to be in London for the first time in years with all of us sisters. It’s not a holiday for me. It’s a necessity. And nothing can stop me from making it happen.”

Katrina and Neil make appearance on Salman show Dus Ka Dum to promote New York

Salman Khan appears in a jolly good mood on 10 Ka Dum's latest episode, with Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh making an appearance. When a young woman in the audience comes up with a request, he quickly asks: "Are you asking for your money back for Yuvvraaj?" She requests Salman to do a waltz with Katrina on the show
a la Yuvvraaj.

The two gladly oblige but not before Salman comes up with, "Subhash Ghai has now edited the film and reduced the running time, so please will someone go and see the film now?"

The audience cracked up at all his one-liners. But don't they always? Why can't someone ask him something uncomfortable and rile him up? Now airing that would be entertainment!

Madhur shocked at Ashu's outburst over Priyanka award win

Ashutosh Gowariker's comments on Priyanka Chopra not deserving the Best Actress award at a recent awards function left the industry shell-shocked.

After Farhan Akhtar told Ashu that his comments were in bad taste that same night, now Priyanka Chopra has found another knight in shining armour Madhur Bhandarkar, for whose film Fashion, PC got the Best Actress award.

While Farhan relayed his words personally to Gowariker, Bhandarkar is more vocal, "I'm shocked by what Ashutosh had to say. We're friends. More than us, our wives are very close friends. If he felt this way (about PC being underserving) he should've shared it with me and Priyanka, not spoilt the golden moment for her on stage. Priyanka got EVERY popular award. Doesn't that prove she deserves it?"

Madhur was shocked that the criticism came from Priyanka's own director, "He's working with Priyanka in What's Your Raashee. That makes his outburst more baffling."

While the actress has told friends that Ashu said what he felt and that she holds no grudges, she has apparently made up her mind to finish Raashee and move on quietly.

Says a source, "It's not a good time for Priyanka. Shaayad usski 'raashee' achchi nahin hai. What's Your Raashee? is the toughest role of her career. She has had to play twelve parts. It sapped her. And now after having won every single popular award for Fashion it's a shame that she was publicly told that she didn't deserve the award!

But she won't let this incident sour her mood. In fact, she jokingly told a friend she hopes to be back at the awards with Raashee."

Close-up horrors

Whatever has happened to the once-gorgeous Manisha Koirala? She is looking shockingly gaunt. Result of crash dieting? We no like, Manya.

Kat has a bump....Not of the nice kind. She has a big bump on her forehead, the kind that you get when you walk into a glass door, which you don't notice because you are too busy talking on the phone.
