Dinesh Kamath's old article on Katrina Kaif that was published in Newsband



Katrina Kaif's film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is releasing on the eve of her birthday. Her last birthday was celebrated while shooting for this film in Spain. She was away from home with just the film's cast and crew. They went out for a dinner to a Spanish restaurant. And coincidentally the film is now releasing on the eve of her birthday.
Katrina has her own idea of living life to the fullest. Balancing what is the right thing to do and what she really wants to do! Balancing what she wants and what is expected out of her! She thinks a lot of people make decisions of what is expected from them and not from what they want. She feels that there is no point in working so hard and not being happy.
Katrina has ridden bikes before. But the bike in this film was much heavier and bigger. So she had to train in between the shooting days in Spain. For scuba-diving, she trained in the pool for 4-5 days but when they went on location, they were shooting in the sea which was very rough, choppy and a different experience. On one of the diving days she went completely out of control, because she got pushed around under the water. She couldn't come up quickly to the top. That was the scariest moment for her.
The Tomatina festival is exactly like what Holi is for us. It happens in Spain every year where everyone plays music on streets, there's water, there's dancing and there's this whole playing with the tomatoes thing. It took Katrina and her team three days to shoot the song and it felt kind of gross after a while. But it was fun.
Katrina who was poor in Hindi and whose many films were dubbed for her voice has surprised everyone by singing in Hindi. The actress also credited her singing merits to her co-star Farhan Akhtar, who helped her with her singing lessons. The actress went on to appreciate Farhan saying that he taught him to sing in rhythm and taught her with lot of patience. The 26 year old is happy with her “friends of life” her co-stars in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. She is even planning a birthday bash with her new friends, a day after the release of the film in July 15th. Nevertheless the response to the movie will obviously add to her happiness at her 27th birthday eve.
Katrina doesn't take up hosting reality shows as her Hindi is not good, that might become a problem. She is also busy with her movie projects as she does 2-3 of them a year.
Katrina has not applied for an Indian citizenship since it is a slightly difficult task and also all her sisters stay in London. She might soon try for Indian citizenship.
In Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, Katrina looks hot in a rockstar avatar, smoking a bidi and playing an electric guitar and Imran Khan saying “Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di toh phir main apne aap ki bhi nahi suntan.” It surely can't get better than this! The trailer of the movie begins with the hilarious scenes of Imran Khan coming across all kinds of crazy and dumb girls, trying to find a match for his brother Ali Zafar. Albeit, he does manage to find a perfect match! And it's none other than our grunge guitarist Katrina Kaif. But there is a problem! Imran Khan falls in love with the same girl (Katrina, to be precise) which he fancied for his brother (Ali Zafar) and jabbers: “Saala pyaar bhi hua to apne brother ki dulhan se.” It looks to be a mad comedy movie! Katrina doing a Dharmendra and enacting the famous suicide scene from Sholay; Imran Khan doing the hud hud Dabangg Dabangg belt dance and Katrina and Imran, together, doing the Khwaja mere Khwaja dance step in front of Taj Mahal; the trailer has it all! The climax of the trailer is beguiling too! Imran Khan confesses his feelings for and to Katrina and says: “I love you Dimple.” Katrina responds to the confession with a smile followed by a tight slap! If you want to see Katrina in a never-seen-before rollicking avatar, you just cannot miss this trailer! Thus Katrina is prepared to scorch the scene with a hot new grunge guitarist look in her upcoming film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan.
Much is being said about Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) - from Katrina and Hrithik Roshan's sensational kiss to Katrina and Kalki Koechlin's catfights. Now, though the kiss-part is true (there is indeed a sensational kiss between Kat and Hrithik in the movie), Kalki recently denied any unpleasant vibe between her and her female co-star.
Katrina as Laila in ZNMD is a bohemian traveller and an island girl. She buys beautiful clothes everywhere and mixes them up. She's not a designer girl and she is more casual and sexy, and has a got a "Kate Moss" vibe. Her character Laila is a free spirit and "live in the moment" kind of girl. Since she is born and brought up abroad; she is very modern and boho, which translates into her hair style through beautiful movement, textured feel and the longish length.
Fashion trends in our country are made and marred by movie stars. Such is the craze for Bollywood stars that what they wear becomes an unsaid norm for the nation, and it doesn't take much time for fans like us to praise and follow them. One such style that's made a comeback, thanks to Katrina's public appearance, is the polka dot. Katrina was recently seen sporting a polka dot red flamenco dress, at the music launch of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and needless to say, the fashion police was quick enough to label it as the 'IN' thing for the coming season.
The thrilling experience of playing games with friends in a movie-like environment coupled with a chance to meet the Sizzling hot Katrina and the Groovy Hrithik is the new experiential engagement campaign in the GoJiyo world. GoJiyo brings an exciting chance for youth to engage with friends in its virtual world bringing to life the 'La Tomatina event' of Spain inspired by the to be released movie Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
The film ZNMD is bound to prove the fact that Katrina is still an actress to watch. If you go by the reports of the film, it appears that this film will definitely give terrific boost to Katrina's career.
