Katrina in London with Ranbir 30 Dec, 2009 11:15 am ISTlTNN Print EMail Discuss Share Save Comment Text: Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif I

Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif If sources are to be believed Katrina is recuperating in London with her family, but a reliable London source informs that to everybody’s surprise she is actually in New York. Coincidentally Ranbir Kapoor is also in New York shooting for Sajid Nadiadwala’s Anjaana Anjaani.

Post her surgery in Mumbai, Katrina flew off to London claiming to spend New Year’s Eve with her family. Katrina, who ushers in the New Year with her mother and siblings each year, was thrilled about the family reunion because she was looking forward to playing with her sister’s little son. But with Katrina in London, it surely raises questions about their relationship.

There is a huge debate as to how her visit to New York wasn’t out and how everybody knew that she was in London. When called up in London at her grandmother’s place, a relative informed that Katrina is in New York.

However Katrina said that she was very much in London. It is just a joke in about me being in New York because she is harassed by many calls.

Kaif also skipped her ex- boyfriend Salman Khan’s birthday in favour of New York. Ranbir and Katrina met on the sets of ‘Raajneeti’ but their friendship really took off when they shot Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Ranbir has been in an ‘on-off relationship’ with Deepika Padukone while Katrina’s relationship with Salman Khan has slowly taken a setback.

Rahul, Katrina top in cyberworld in 2009: Google survey

The young ruled in the Indian cyberspace in 2009, with Rahul Gandhi emerging as the most popular politician and Bollywood star Katrina Kaif the most popular celebrity, according to a Google India survey.

The new survey--The Google 'Zeitgiest'(Spirit of the times) 2009--based on Google India search queries in a reflection of what Indians were searching throughout the year, found that tennis star Sania Mirza held the top position in popular sportspersons category for the third year in a row.

The Saif Ali Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer 'Love Aaj Kaal' was the most searched movie, the survey, which was released today, said.

The results, based on a study of aggregation of billions of queries people typed into Google search in 2009, showed that global economic downturn and local implications were clearly on India's mind as 'Budget 2009' and 'Satyam share price' emerged as the fastest rising queries.

Young politicians like Congress leaders Rahul and Sachin Pilot made their mark among the netizens. Rahul was the most searched politician in India, his grandmother and late prime minister Indira Gandhi was at the second position.

At the third spot was Pilot, followed by Sarah Palin, P Chidambaram, Mayawati, Barack Obama, Sonia Gandhi, Rajesh Pilot and Maneka Gandhi. Interestingly, Palin, the Republican vice presidential candidate for the 2008 elections in America, was searched more than Obama, the US president.

Katrina Kaif shares chemistry with co-star in much-awaited flick

Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif hails the energy levels of her co-star Ranbir Kapoor on the sets of their much-awaited film Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani (APKGH).

After delivering some serious films, director Rajkumar Santoshi is all set to provide the audience with a breather with his upcoming romantic comedy APKGH.

With a title that is too long, and quite unlike a typical Bollywood name, the forthcoming movie has already made its presence felt.

And the other thing making news is the on-screen chemistry seen in promos and off-screen chemistry seen in media briefings between actor Kaif and Kapoor. The actors have been paired for the first time for this romantic comedy.

Kaif, while talking to reporters at a promotional event here on Friday said that they gelled well with each other because of their similar working style of keeping the energy flowing on the film set.

Kaif recalled the entertainment on the sets of the film and said that when the filmmaker is passionate, then the energy level on the sets is much better.

"When we were shooting this film, we had the cameraman, assistants and the lighting guys, all playing baseball between shots. I think I was wearing some heavy dress but still I managed to play. It's just the matter of wanting to be on the film set. If you are working with someone who wants to be there and passionate about making films because that's what they love doing, then the energy is so much better."

The film is a romantic tale of two youngsters, Prem and Jennifer, played by Kapoor and Kaif.

Shot in Ooty, Goa, Mumbai and Turkey, Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani is slated to release on November 6.

After SRK, Deepika desires Salman Khan

Deepika Padukone might have kick-started her Bollywood career with Shah Rukh Khan and since then is known to be part of his inner circle, but she claims she is more than open to branch out and work with King Khan's arch enemy Salman Khan.

"I'm so new in the industry and I have been very lucky to have got the opportunity to work with the biggest names in the industry. I have worked with SRK, Akshay Kumar and Saif Ali Khan and now I would like to work with Salman," says Deepika, who is currently basking in the success of Love Aaj Kal.

She adds, "I feel Salman is a very honest person. He is genuine about what he feels and what I have read and known about him, he seems to be very caring."

Deepika admires AamirKhan too. "He has been extremely selective and it has worked so amazingly for him. I don't know whether he does it purposely or things turn out to be like that but he is a perfectionist."

Deepika might be game to talk about Sallu but she is not cool when it comes to talking about his girlfriend Katrina Kaif with whom she's been apparently sharing bad vibes. It's been reported that Deepika didn't approve of beau Ranbir Kapoor and Kat's growing bond on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and that she is responsible for the duo being no longer on talking terms.

"I wouldn't want to comment on Katrina," was her short and snappy reply when quizzed. But was her relationship shaky when rumours about Kat were on the rise? "Ranbir and I trust each other and we are going well. I realise that when there is no movie releasing people focus on other things and that people will even talk about personal things. All this used to affect me a lot before, it doesn't anymore."

Post their box-office bomb Chandni Chowk to China, ironically Deepika is now teaming up with Akshay Kumar for a comedy called Housefull. "I love the passion and drive that Akshay has. With him around, you get to learn a lot on the sets. I know our first film together didn't work out but there's nothing called an unlucky jodi," she says.

Ranbir and Kat won't dub together

The industry grapevine is buzzing with the rumour that Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif are no longer on talking terms. The actors were bonding so much on the sets of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani that they were fuelling rumours that there might be more to their relationship than what meets the eye and that Ranbir's relationship with Deepika Padukone was on the rocks.

Deepika is said to have even visited the sets of Rajkumar Santoshi's film just to check whether the rumour had any truth to it. And then reports claimed that Deepika had put her foot down and thus Ranbir put the brakes on his growing friendship with Kat to mend their affair.

Since then, sources say that the duo are avoiding each other completely and have also dubbed separately for the film even for portions that required them to do it together because there are emotionally charged moments that needed the right channelling of feelings from both parties.

Our source says, "Ranbir and Katrina became very close friends on the sets of the film and their growing fondness for each other speculated a lot of rumour. The two even attended the wrap-up party of the film and their body language was very cordial.

Everything was fine between them till then but after reports said that Deepika was not taking their relationship with a smile, things seem to have changed. The two were supposed to dub together for the movie but now they aren't doing that. They came into the dubbing studio separately and have not even met once there. They have also not signed any other film in which they are being cast together."

Rajkumar Santoshi confirms the news saying, "It is true that they are not dubbing together. I really would have loved to see them dub together as there were scenes that needed them to be together. I can't say anything on whether they are on talking terms or not," he states, adding, "They are thorough professionals. Katrina and Ranbir have been on time for the dubbing sessions even if they are not doing it together."

When contacted, Katrina remained tight-lipped on the subject. On the news of them not being on talking terms, "Not true," she said. "It takes me a lot longer to dub so I have started earlier." She then went on to add, "We are good friends."

Now, now, haven't we heard this line a number of times before!

Katrina is the hottest babe on Google

Looks like Katrina Kaif has finally won the 'Race'! As per a new Google report, Indians couldn't have enough of the leggy beauty on big screen so they spent most of the 2008 searching for this Bollywood siren on the Web.

Recently declared as Asia's sexiest woman, Katrina Kaif has yet again pipped former beauty queen and Bollywood heart-throb Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as the most searched for person on the Web, according to Google's India Zeitgeist list for 2008.

Interestingly, Katrina has also outdone her boyfriend and godfather Salman Khan when it comes to being googled on the Net! As for Salman, he may not have been able to set his account straight with Shah Rukh Khan in real life but on the world wide web he has elbowed King Khan, and remains the most searched for actor in India. Shahid Kapoor makes his debut on the list while Genelia D'Souza of Jaane Tu Jaane Na has been declared as one the fastest rising searched for terms on the Net besides Beijing Olympics and IPL!

Bollywood remains one of the most popular Internet search terms ahead of Tamil Cinema when it comes to netizens' interest on movies. As with most of the awards ceremonies, one name that is conspicously missing is none other than Aamir Khan's. After all, Aamir was never in the rat race, more so if it was run on people's keyboards!

Subdued Eid celebrations in Bollywood

Id-ul-Zuha (Bakri Eid) celebrations were a low-key affair in Bollywood with biggies like Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan preferring to stay away from festivities.

Many actors including Aamir, Zayed, Farhan Akhtar, Sajid Khan, Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar wore black bands to protest against the terror attack on Mumbai.

Salman immersed himself in shooting for 'Veer', a film he has scripted, at Film City and exchanged Eid greetings with the cast and crew of the film.

His family is known to celebrate all festivals with family and friends in a big way but they have refrained from doing so this time.

Shah Rukh and Aamir are preparing for the release of their eagerly-awaited films 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' and 'Ghajini' respectively, but are not promoting them in a very lavish manner.

Aamir wore a black band to protest against the "life of terror which people have been forced to lead", while greeting people on the occasion.

Saif Ali Khan is out of the country shooting for his upcoming film and Katrina Kaif is away from Mumbai shooting for Rajkumar Santoshi's 'Aajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani' with Ranbir Kapoor.

Veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah wondered why Muslims felt obliged to take up token gestures to distance themselves from the 26/11 terror attack.

"Why are Indian Muslims perpetually required to prove their patriotism?," he asked.

Actor Irrfan Khan said the need of the hour was to prevent misuse of religion in the name of terror. He felt the need for all Muslims to come together to fight terrorism.

Actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar said Indians must fight for their own safety.

Shabana Azmi was of the view that the Mumbai attack had brought the nation closer.

Actress Dia Mirza said that sporting black bands would give out signals against polarisation while Sajid Khan said people could not be terrorised in the name of God.

Katrina Kaif is sexiest Asian woman for 2008

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has been adjudged the sexiest Asian woman in the world in 2008 by a UK-based weekly, with last year's winner Bipasha Basu pushed to the second spot.

In the annual round conducted by 'Eastern Eye', a leading British Asian newspaper, Kaif emerged on the top in a shortlist of 10.

The judges included Brianna Ragel, editor of Asian Woman Magazine and the former editor of FHM India, Farhad Dadyburjor.

Hamant Verma, editor of Eastern Eye, said: "Katrina Kaif's natural beauty and easy charm has enabled her stock to rise in Bollywood. This has resulted in a number of lucrative offers, and appearances in films that proved to be box-office hits."

Kaif, who was brought up in London, was ranked one place above last year's winner Bipasha Basu and two ahead of 2006 winner Priyanka Chopra. Kareena Kapoor came third in the list.

New entrants to the 'sexiest list' included Pakistani actress Mehwish Hayat (nine), Miss India Universe Simran Kaur Mundi (10), former Miss Sri Lanka Jacqueline Fernandez (12) and south Indian actress Asin (22).

M F Husain offers to make painting on 'Yuvraaj'

Bollywood director Subhash Ghai has found a new fan in M F Husain. The renowned painter watched Ghai's latest offering 'Yuvraaj' twice and has offered to make a painting on the film.

Husain's appreciation of the film has left Ghai honoured, says the director whose multi-starrer family drama received mixed reviews at the Box Office.

"Yuvraaj is the kind of movie we get to see once in many years. I have always been extremely fond of Subhashji's work and Yuvraaj is one of the finest movies I have seen in a long time," the painter said.

"I wonder on what basis are the people criticizing the movie; I feel it is a beautifully made film with extremely melodious music and some brilliant performances," he said in a statement released by the film's producers.

Subhash Ghai was very ecstatic with the overwhelming response by the noted painter.

"Yuvraaj has been a marvelous experience. I am flattered by Husain ji's appreciation for the movie. It is an honor to hear such words of appreciation from a legend like M F Hussain. I am also very deeply moved by his offer to make a painting on Yuvraaj. This is by far the biggest compliment I have received on this movie," said the director.

Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Boman Irani and Zayed Khan star in the film which hit theatres on November 21.

Vivek Oberoi’s finally got a girl

Tara Sharma will be playing Vivek Oberoi’s love interest after most leading heroines declined to star opposite himVivek Oberoi has finally found somebody to star opposite him in the Karan Johar film to be directed by Renzil D’Silva. Tara Sharma plays his love interest in the film. Vivek must be breathing a sigh of relief specially after so many press reports claimed that not many Bollywood ladies are game to work with him.
Vivek’s last three releases Mission Istanbul, Fool N Final and Shootout at Lokhandwala saw him without a heroine. The other film that he is currently associated with has two newcomers paired opposite him. Apparently Bipasha Basu was approached for this film but she declined to be cast alongside Vivek. With Salman Khan in no mood to reconcile with him, Katrina Kaif (Sallu’s girlfriend) too can’t work with him. The other leading stars are also not too enamoured by Vivek, who at one point of time was the next big thing in the industry. Karan’s film will see Kareena Kapoor pair up with Saif Ali Khan as the lead and Vivek, though he plays a pivotal character, has to be content with the second fiddle. Many thought that he would be teaming up with Kareena but that’s not the case certainly.
“I have been paired with Vivek for Karan Johar’s film. Though I don’t have a very big role but still it’s a very nice character that I’m playing. I play a journalist in the film and Vivek is my boyfriend. He has a very strong role in the movie,” Tara says.

Bollywood bravehearts refuse to bow down to terrorism, resume shooting

While the Mumbai terror attacks left the entire Bollywood in shock and sent the biggies into a hiding of sorts, braveheart Akshay Kumar refused to let the ordeal take over and resumed shooting for Priyadarshan’s ‘De Dana Dan’ at Mehboob Studios in Bandra.
It was Khiladi Kumar who motivated rest of the crew (comprising of 250 people) to be present for the shoot as the terror strike had already caused a lot of financial losses to the producer of the flick in question. The actor led the unit to complete a song shoot with a heavy heart. Akki, who is known to be a highly sensitive human being, shot for the sequence with great poignancy. According to reports, the entire crew observed a one minute silence for all those who died in this futile war of terror as well as for the heroes who lost their valuable lives serving the country. Other actors who took the initiative of attending the shoot instead of sitting at home besides Akshay included Katrina Kaif, Sunil Shetty and Sameera Reddy. While Sunil Shetty drove from Malabar Hills area (which coincidently was in close proximity to the epicentre of the attacks), Sameera Reddy drove from the suburb of Andheri and Katrina made way from Bandra. In an interview given to a news daily actor Suniel Shetty exclaimed, “Mumbai’s spirit has come through in spite of all the terror attacks. We refuse to be scared and that’s why it was important fro me to go about my daily work.”

2008: The super-couples of Bollywood

What is Bollywood without its duets? How glossy would be Bolly premieres without hand-in-hand entries?
Bombay has always celebrated its couples, from Himanshu Rai-Devika Rani to Saifareena. It has been an Eden for lovers, both on and off the screen. The Bolly buff, on his part, has made these romances a part of Indian mythology.
Here is a list of Bollywood's super hit couples of 2008. Watch out! There is a sursprise in store!

Yuvvraaj is melodramatic and boring!

YuvvraajDirector: Subhash GhaiCast: Salman Khan, Anil Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Zayed Khan and Mithun Chakraborthy

Subhash Ghai has hardly had a dream run lately. After Taal did just about okay business in 1999, Ghai has delivered three flops in a row with Yaadein, Kisna and this year's Black And White.
Clearly, the going hasn't been good for close to a decade. Surprising then that every time the man has a film ready, expectations are high and curiosity levels are up.
Yuvvraaj is no different. The film may be of interest to a film buff for a number of reasons: AR Rahman's music has made quite an impact even before the release; the film looks more lavish than Ghai's earlier works, which is saying something; and lastly, Ghai has got an interesting bunch of actors together, including the mercurial Salman, who was involved in the infamous slapping incident with the filmmaker. Does Yuvvraaj meets up to these expectations then?
The story is interesting. Deven Yuvvraaj (Salman Khan) is a man with a troubled past. Struggling to make a career in music, Deven was thrown out by his billionaire father twelve years back for beating up his autistic older brother (Anil Kapoor). This has made Deven a bitter man and short-tempered (more like crazy; why would he beat up a retarded brother otherwise?!)
The only silver lining in Deven's plethora of worries is Anushka (Katrina Kaif), the lead cello player of the troupe Deven works as a chorus singer in. She is the only one who 'understands' Deven and is able and willing to deal with his temper and inner-demons. But Anushka's father (Boman Irani) is against the match as he's aware of Deven's erratic lifestyle and anger management problems.
When Deven learns of his father's demise, he decides to go back home to claim his part of the family property, so that he can ask for Anushka's hand in marriage. When he returns, Deven has to deal with distant relatives and two brothers (Kapoor and Zayed Khan) in order to get his share of the booty. Except that there's something coming in the way – Deven's father's will. And the executor is attorney Sikandar Mirza (Mithun Chakraborthy)

Katrina Kaif homesick in New York

Katrina Kaif is currently shooting in New York with John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh for Kabir Khan's next venture, but she isn't too happy being away from home and family.
"My professional commitments keep me busy, but I'm feeling homesick. I miss my family a lot. I miss my home," said Katrina, who has been shooting for "New York" for over two months.
The actress is, however, keeping content with plans for a Christmas reunion with her family.
"I am trying my best to see if we can all be together. I hope no professional work comes up then. I am keeping my fingers crossed," she said.
Katrina was seen in this year's biggest hit "Singh Is Kinng".

Katrina wants her chemistry to show on screen

Salman and Katrina are paired as lovers for the first time in Subhash Ghai’s Yuvvrraj and apparently, everybody who has seen the first cut of the film are raving about them. Sources say that even Subhash Ghai gave a call to Salman last Sunday to tell him about how people are raving about the two. In spite of this, Katrina is apparently very tensed about the fact whether the audience will be able to accept the two as a pair. “I am very keen to see whether the audience accept us as a pair on screen and I want to bring out our chemistry on the screen too,” said Katrina in an earlier interview. David Dhawan was the first to pair Salman and Katrina together in the box office hit Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya. David’s second film Partner was also a hit in spite of the fact that Salman and Katrina were not paired together in the film.
