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



Katrina Kaif was in a bad mood at the Screen Awards. The actor, who performed with Shahrukh Khan at the recently held awards show, was seen sulking through the event.
The recently held Colors Screen Awards was definitely a star studded show. It had the three top female actors- Vidya Balan, Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra – performing with just one male star: Shahrukh Khan. While everybody looked quite happy at the event, one person retired to her vanity van as soon as she got off the stage after her performance and was seen hanging around the lounge area for a while too. The actor in question is none other than Katrina Kaif. Why was Katrina in such a bad mood? No, it's not because of the kiss that SRK planted on her cheek. The actor was annoyed because she felt ignored by the awards organizers. Katrina had supported the organizers by agreeing to be present and perform, but she was very disappointed to learn that her contemporaries were walking away with the awards while she wasn't even taking home one trophy.
Kareena Kapoor didn't attend the function and she wasn't expected to win anything. The other top stars who were present though were sent back home with a statuette. Vidya Balan received the Best Actress award (as was expected), while Priyanka Chopra walked away with the Best Actress in a Negative Role honour. And, quite surprisingly, Deepika Padukone was awarded Best Actress in the Popular category for Desi Boyz. That seemed like a nail in the coffin for the actor, as she was hoping to be acknowledged for carrying Mere Brother Ki Dulhan single-handedly on her pretty shoulders.
On the show, Katrina danced on the beats of some of the melodious yesteryear songs with Shah Rukh. It was a bolt out of the blue when King Khan suddenly kissed Katrina's cheek which left the audience asking for more. Shah Rukh was dressed in a tuxedo and Katrina looked gorgeous in a pink saree. The duo shook and danced together on the stage but it was a mesmerizing moment when SRK kissed Katrina.
Katrina and SRK will be seen together in Yash Raj Chopra's forthcoming film. The film has already been announced and it will go on floor by the end of this year. Looks like the two are already making their chemistry felt. Kareena has all the Khans and so does Katrina, but this is one girl who doesn't need 'man'power for success.
Just recently the two beauties, Vidya Balan and Katrina, were given the same rehearsal space for an award show. Katrina's rehearsals ran a bit too long and she failed to leave in time, keeping Vidya waiting outside. Vidya was apparently upset as her schedule went for a toss and angrily left the venue. She just wanted to avoid creating a 'dirty' picture there.
Katrina is constantly jetting to locales across the country - be it for films or commercial shoots. She was recently in Orchha, a small temple town in Madhya Pradesh. Katrina shot for a soft drink commercial in the small town, located in Tikamgarh district, which is still quite unknown to Bollywood film-makers and commercial ad film companies. Katrina was on location for two days before wrapping up shoot and heading back to Mumbai. For your information, Katrina and Aishwarya are very popular with advertisers and have endorsed for some of the biggest national and international brands.
Ranbir Kapoor's most talked about worldwide concert across UK, US and Canada will finally kick-off in August 2012. Apart from the Rockstar dude, Shahid Kapoor and Katrina will be a part of the World Tour. While the Mausam star is a new inclusion to the show, the Chikni Chameli actor was under consideration right from the conception of the tour. Back then the tour never took off because Ranbir felt he didn't have enough stage songs. But the real reason was that Katrina didn't want to share stage with Ranbir. But now that she is part of the show, the tour will take off.. The two being part of same show will be reason enough for tickets to sell out like hot cakes.
British bombshell, Amy Jackson is turning heads with her latest Bollywood stint which she bagged in Ek Deewana Tha with Prateik Babbar. The beauty is going hung-ho her efforts in the film. She claims that she is heavily inspired by her fellow-Brit Katrina Kaif who made it large in the Indian showbiz. Now that's a big compliment for Katrina.
Hrithik Roshan sees Katrina as next big dance diva. Hrithik can't stop raving about Katrina's performance in Agneepath item number Chikni Chameli. Known to be an exceptional dancer himself, Hrithik knows that the song's dance routine comprised very tough steps, but Katrina's dedication helped her bring them out accurately. Whatever you see in the promo is five per cent of the full song. After Madhuri and Aishwarya, now it's Katrina. Hrithik always knew that she was a good dancer, but didn't know that she was so good. Hrithik was surprised by how Katrina, who was born and brought up in the west, got her desi moves right.
Titan Raga is out with a new campaign featuring Katrina Kaif, one of the brand ambassadors for the product. The campaign's creative duties have been handled by Ogilvy Bangalore. The TVC shows Kaif in her usual vivacious avatar gearing up for a weekend trip when she gets a text from her counterpart which reads that the trip will have to be postponed since his flight has been cancelled. Kaif's face turns morose for a bit but she soon gathers herself up, wears a Titan Raga on her wrist, picks up her luggage and storms out in her car, with much elan. She goes to her mother's place and asks her if she has any weekend plans. Surprised to see her daughter at her doorsteps, the mother agrees to accompany Kaif for a road trip where the two share cherishing mother-daughter moments with a track, 'I don't know where I'm going but I like the direction', setting the right mood. The car swooshes by, leaving the tagline - Life is Now! Thus the film portrays Kaif as a young, 21st century woman with an independent and impulsive spirit, who celebrates optimism with the courage to pursue her own happiness. The fictional narrative of the film is unpretentious, capturing all emotions faithfully and with striking simplicity.
Katrina Kaif will feature opposite Rajinikanth in film Kochadaiyaan. The 28-year-old Katrina is all set to romance the 62-year-old Southern superstar Rajinikanth in this Tamil film. Soundarya Rajinikanth, director of the movie, has said that they have offered Katrina the female lead in Kochadaiyaan. Kochadaiyaan will mark the directorial debut of the superstar's youngest daughter. The Kochadaiyaan team is positive that the two superstars, one from South India and the other from North India, will together create magic. In Kochadaiyaan, Rajinikanth plays a king, a devotee of Lord Shiva. Rajinikanth is wearing a long hair in the film to depict the way a king lived. His love story with Katrina and their songs will be shot on an epic scale. Most parts of the movie's shooting is done, except for the ones with Katrina. Katrina, who is busy shooting two back-to-back Yash Raj films – Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan, and an untitled one with Shah Rukh Khan – will accommodate Rajinikanth's dates in between her tight schedule. Her dates will be worked out soon, and the film will then be completed.
I've not finished with Katrina and hence will continue with her tomorrow too.
