the first Indian Barbie: Katrina

British-born actress Katrina Kaif, whose face will now adorn Barbie dolls, says contrary to what people believe her Barbie is not an Indian counterpart of the international brand. She also feels that in many ways it's an endorsement of how kids connect with her.

"I'd call it a fun honour. To have your face on dolls that you've played with from childhood is quite flattering. We've been in negotiation for nearly six months. It finally came together for the 50-year celebration of Barbie," said Katrina.

"Contrary to what people believe my Barbie is not an Indian counterpart of the international brand. It's an honour because I'm the first Indian to be the face of Barbie. I'll be dressed the way the Barbie is all over the world," quipped Katrina.

"And I think in many ways it's an endorsement of how kids connect with me. You can't be the face of an international doll unless kids like you. I like that. The thought that kids like me enough to make me a part of their doll collection is very gratifying," added the 24-year-old.

The actress walked the ramp as the showstopper at a special show dedicated to Barbie at the Lakme Fashion Week here. She sported a small pink dress that the 'Katrina Barbie' will be wearing from September.

With the Barbie image coming to the surface, Katrina is a little worried about the bubbly-girl image that she'd like to change.

"So much for my attempts to move to more mature level as an actor," laughed the actress. "I guess Prakash Jha's Rajneeti will take care of that. But I'm very happy being the clean healthy Barbie-girl next door."

The doll's look and dress were planned in collaboration with Katrina.

"It is quite something, if you think about it. But I'd rather not. I don't want my head to get swollen. For me, it's enough that I was chosen because I reflect a certain bubbly wholesome personality, quite contrary to the 'sexy' tag that I get in net polls and which I'm not very comfortable with," she said.

Apart from Rajneeti, Katrina's other releases this year are debutant director Anthony D'Souza's underwater thriller Blue and Yash Raj Films' New York.

Salman Katrina headed towards breakup?

All is still not well between Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. On December 18, 2008, Mumbai Mirror had first broken the story The cold war with Sallu that's destroying Katrina, which spoke at length of the growing rift between Salman and Katrina. Industry sources say the relationship has further soured to an extent that when Salman was recently shooting for Veer at Jodhpur, the two were not even in touch.

While Katrina is still holding on to Salman and hoping that he understands how much she still loves him, Salman has been behaving strangely towards her. An industry source said, “Salman hardly talks to Katrina even when she is with him. Periods of cold silence in any relationship signal that the couple has drifted apart and this is the last thing Katrina wants in her life.”

But Salman doesn't seem to understand. “Problem is, except for one thing, Salman hasn't changed at all. Like all his previous relationships (with Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani and Aishwarya Rai) to him, love means ownership,” said the source.

“Like always, this time too, Salman wants to entirely control the reins of his relationship with Katrina. Just like he will not directly confront Katrina on her friendship with Ranbir Kapoor or any of her other co-actors, Katrina too has been told in no uncertain terms that she shouldn't question him about anything,” added the source.

Commenting on the one change in Salman, the source said, “Suddenly, Salman has started feeling that he should get married but to someone who will be a perfect housewife and not someone who has a life of her own.”

Where does that leave Katrina? Why is Katrina not calling it quits? Our source said, “Katrina loves not only Salman but also his parents. She doesn't want to do anything that will hurt his family. She is very fond of all of them.”

Meanwhile, Katrina is hoping that 'this too shall pass' but Salman still remains the man who doesn't seem to care about anything or anybody. Like the source said, “When will Salman realise that love is all about companionship?” Now that's a million dollar question.

Ghajini Girl Asin Replaces Katrina Kaif

If sources are to be believed then Aamir Khan’s Ghajini girl Asin is all set to become Shah Rukh Khan’s girl in the upcoming Yash Raj project. Katrina Kaif was initially considered for this project but the King Khan made a conscious decision of keeping away professionally from anything that’s related to Salman, Katrina’s name was dropped.

“But then there was also a problem having Asin in the film.” sources further reveal. “The Yash Raj project was to go on floors during 2009 but Asin was committed to do a Priyadarshan project co-starring Akshay Kumar. Since, Akki himself had suggested her name, Asin was not able to back out of it. But then luck favoured the Southern beauty as recently Akshay announced his inability to shoot the Priyadarshan project in 2009 and allotted dates of March 2010. Now her dates for 2009 end got free and she intimated Yash Raj about it.

Salman Khan Slaps Katrina

Bad Boy Salman Khan might run into another failure in his relationship. And if sources are to be believed Salman Khan has slapped Katrina kaif over a small tiff. Is Salman Khan behaving the same way he did with Aishwariya Rai? Is Possessiveness the issue or there is another side to this problem?

As per a Goa Local Newspaper, Katrina Kaif and Akshay Kumar were shooting in Goa. Sallu Bhai feeling insecure about Kaif with Akki, bumped into the Shooting Sets and had tiff with Katrina. Probably Salman Khan has asked Katrina not to work with Akshay Kumar. But what Salman should know if that Katrina has given almost all her hits with Khiladi Number 1.

This isn’t the first time Salman has slapped Katrina. Few years back, a eye witness accounts to a Mumbai Local Newspaper that Kat and Sallu were sitting in a coffee shop. And suddenly Salman stood up and slapped Katrina. Though Katrina later refused to acknowledge that event!

Katrian Role in Rajniti Is not based on Sonia

Just because Katrina Kaif wears a sari and plays a politician doesn’t mean her character in Rajniti is similar to Congress President Sonia Gandhi, alleges director Prakash Jha .

He’s the man who’s being credited for de-glamourising Asia’s sexiest woman by casting her as “behenji” exercising her political muscle in ‘Rajniti’. But little did Prakash Jha anticipate that Katrina’s new makeover would spark a plethora of rumours about her role’s similarity to that of Sonia Gandhi.

“There was nothing common between Katrina's character and Mrs Gandhi,” Jha, who recently wrapped up the shooting of ‘Rajniti’ in Bhopal, is quoted by a news agency as saying.

The director says people jumped to their own conclusions after watching Katrina playing the role in a sari.

“Except 'Behenji' Mayawati, so many women politicians, such as Jayalalitha, Mamta Bannerjee wear saris. So how can you say that the character is based on Sonia Gandhi? These are only speculations,” Jha clarifies.

The film has Katrina playing a woman who takes a plunge into politics after the death of her husband. The movie features an ensemble of talented actors like Ajay Devgan , Ranbir Kapoor , Nana Patekar , Arjun Rampal , Manoj Bajpai and Naseeruddin Shah .

Katrina True Leader Belive in profit Sharing

In a truly royal style, Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif doled out Rs 5 lakh among the crew members of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani . The reason – she was “happy”.

It was the last day of the shoot for Rajkumar Santoshi ’s ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ at Film City and Katrina was in a generous mood.

It’s reported that immediately after the completion of the shoot, the actress went inside her vanity van and came out with wads of cash, which she distributed among all the unit members (even spotboys), as the actress was happy and wanted to share her happiness with others. The sweet gesture became sweeter when she personally went to meet everyone of the crew and gave the money.

Katrina was apparently happy because of the hard work put in by the unit – the prolonged hours and stressful days were managed well which led to Katrina’s appreciation for the unit. This was Katrina’s gesture to express gratitude towards the crew.

Even director Rajkumar Santoshi was taken aback by Katrina’s generosity.

The gesture is the same as the one by her beau Salman Khan who showers his affection and love whenever he feels like. A few months back when the shooting of Yuvvraaj wrapped up, Salman invited everyone from the unit for a dinner together.

‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead.

A Generous Lady Infact - Katrina Kaif

Besides his infamous wild antics and strange rage, Salman Khan is even famous for his large heartiness. The actor who is known to go all out for friends and family has had a huge influence on his ladylove Katrina Kaif. And no, Katrina is not going bashing people.

Apparently, Katrina is much too smitten by Sallu’s humane gestures of love. The actress in a rarest of rare gestures surprised everyone as she went to distribute Rs 5 lakh of hard cash among unit members of her upcoming film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Katha’.

According to our sources, on the last day of the shoot Katrina distributed Rs 5 lakh among crewmembers, which included technicians, make-up artists and spot boys.

The lissome beauty for some unknown reason was in an exceptionally happy and giving mood. Bowled by the good job the unit had pulled of for the flick, topped with her good mood, the actress decided to give out big bucks to the unit.

Sources tell us that after wrapping up the schedule, Katrina went in her vanity van and came out carrying lugs of money.

Confirming the news, a news daily even quoted a source as saying, "Katrina went into her vanity van and came out with bundles of notes and started distributing them among the unit members. She was in a happy mood and wanted to share her happiness with everyone."

Well going by the bomb she has always been for her flicks, we are sure Rs 5 lakh won’t make much of difference to the this generous lady.

Is Katrina possessive?

Katrina Kaif’s visit to the sets of Veer has created quite some rumour around. Someone on the sets said: “Zarine Khan is making every effort to get friendly with Salman. However, Salman Khan is in a different mood ever since the shooting at Film City began. Incidentally, he turned aloof just when Katrina Kaif started visiting him on the sets. Considering that Katrina seldom visits Salman’s sets, this new development has caught the unit of the film off guard.”

We also get the news that Salman doesn’t look interested in Zarine; he rarely speak to her. “Often Zarine pulls up a chair to sit near Salman Khan but he does not pay attention. When Zarine tries to talk to Salman, he only replies in monosyllables. This only discourages her further. And if Katrina Kaif is around, Salman Khan only pays attention to Katrina by spending all his free time with her,” said one of the sources.

Katrina, on the other hand answered, “Yes, I did go to the sets of Veer but only one day. That’s because Anil Sharma, the director of Veer is my friend.”

The producer claims that Katrina and Zarine get along pretty well. Now, is Katrina really getting possessive or is this again cooked up news?

What makes Katrina look so good?

Katrina Kaif has been sharing her beauty secrets recently. It’s a mixture of lifestyle, make-up and fashion. “I get up early in the morning and drink three to four glasses of water. I adore jogging, swimming and going to the gym,” she explains, “I think my skin looks more beautiful when I put less make up on my face. I like purifying Apricot Oil from Anne Semoin. I also believe in a mineral mud mask by Anne Semoin. It keeps my skin looking good.”

On the fashion front, Katrina likes to keep it simple too. “I love to put on floral summer dresses or tracks and sweatshirts or cargo pants and sleeveless tee shirts,” she says, “When I am at a party, I usually opt for a Tarun Tahiliani Indo-Western or Rocky S’ Westerns.”
