In short, she needs time to think Salman’s proposal over, say those close to her.

Katrina Kaif to perform at IPL finals
If the IPL mania was not enough on its own, brand ambassador of IPL team Royal Challengers Bangalore, Katrina Kaif, is all set to perform at the finals of IPL2 at Johannesburg on 24th May where she will be seen gyrating to some of her songs and the Oscar winning Rahman’s song Jai Ho.
An excited Katrina says, “To be able to perform in front of millions of people is going to be a different high. It’ll be like walking the dream. It’s the biggest televised show and who won’t be excited! I am so excited that I forgot about being jet-lagged.”
Katrina Kaif is apparently expresses her disappointment on IPL shifting to South Africa saying, “We all know the reasons why IPL’s venue was shifted to South Africa, but I would really like it to be back here again because the enthusiasm, craziness and fan following for cricket in India is simply amazing…The whole experience is priceless. That is the time when we smile together and cry together.”

Bebo, Kat... who's the Hollywood bride
A leading Hollywood studio is looking at remaking one of its popular films of 2009 in Hindi, for which it is taking a Bollywood producer’s help, and in which top actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Asin and Sonam Kapoor are being considered for the two leading roles.The Hollywood film under consideration is the romantic comedy of this year — Bride Wars, starring Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson. In its official Bollywood remake, the film will be one big fat Punjabi wedding with plenty of colour, song and dance, drama, fireworks, the whole nine yards.
Shrishti Behl — director Goldie’s sister, who produced Drona last year, is the Bollywood filmmaker contacted to work on this project. Confirming her participation, Shristi said, “The days of plagiarism are over. Official remakes are the way to go. And Bride Wars lends itself beautifully to an Indian adaptation.”
That it does, but there is likely to be a war among the six top contenders for the two roles in this film. The Hollywood studio, unmindful of the fact that these are the biggest names in Bollywood, is going to conduct a test look to pick their two actresses. Its worldwide production head Stanford Pinatch, talking to BT, said, “We’re trying to produce local-language films all over the world. We’re using the synergy between our distribution operations in all of these territories and tying up with the local production division. There is a shift in the market towards local content. It validates what we’re trying to achieve with these projects.”
Bride Wars, a regular chick flick if there was one, is about a good friendship between two women that goes dangerously bad. And, it will be interesting to see if real life good friends in Bollywood team up for the Hindi remake or the permutations and combinations throw up other alternatives.
The twosomes that come to mind are Katrina and Kareena; Priyanka and Kareena (Shahid Kapoor’s past and present loves, respectively); Asin and Katrina (Salman’s lady love and, well, his co-star who’s currently linked with him); and, Sonam and Deepika (in whose life the common factor is Ranbir Kapoor).

Katrina's wish is her command
She demands seven costume changes instead of three for a music video for New YorkCoco Chanel once said: 'Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably and they remember the woman.' Recently , Katrina Kaif made sure she got her way and did the latter. Katrina put her foot down and said that she needed seven changes of clothes for a music video in Yash Raj Films' New York. The incident in question happened at Yash Raj Studios, Andheri.
Initially, Aditya Chopra and choreographer Ahmed Khan had decided on three costume changes for Katrina. But keeping in mind her glamorous image, Katrina asked for four more.
When Ahmed reached the sets, Katrina told him that three changes wouldnt be sufficient. A surprised Ahmed did not agree with Katrinas demand. Moreover, he knew that he would have to inform Aditya Chopra before giving in to Katrinas wish. However, when Katrina politely told Ahmed that she would have it no other way he had no choice but to call Aditya who was busy in his office upstairs .
Aditya told Ahmed that he was okay with seven changes if the choreographer had no problem. Thereafter, Ahmed told Katrina that she could have what she wanted.
Once the green signal was given by Aditya, four additional costumes were arranged much to Katrinas delight.
Ahmed confirmed and said, Yes, Katrina wanted seven changes in the music video. I wasnt too excited with the idea initially, but when I saw the final result, I think she was right. The music video has worked out brilliantly.
However, I made it clear to Katrina that seven costume changes should not eat into the time of the shoot, and it didnt , he added.

Kat wins over Sonam Kapoor for Dibakar Bannerjee’s film
Ever since Oye Lucky Lucky Oye worked well in the box office, Sonam and daddy dearest, Anil Kapoor were hoping she would bag the role of the leading lady in his film. He was invited home and shown show reels but much to Sonam’s dismay, the director wasn’t looking for the quintessential Indian beauty.
The film will have Imran Khan and Abhay Deol along with Katrina Kaif. Sonam did catch his attention but with his film requiring a firangi in the film, it was only understandable that Kat was approached for the role.
We hope the next project has Sonam in the flick.

Katrina ready for serious cinema
"This year I would like to allocate time to big films. The kind of films I am doing - Rajneeti and Ajab Prem are a little more difficult. They need time and also a little more thought process," Katrina told IANS. The films are slated for release this year.
In Ajab Prem,. Katrina shares screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Upen Patel, while in Rajneeti she stars alongside a host of actors including Ranbir, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai.
Katrina says that Santoshi's dedication and "knack for making his actors win national awards" is something that makes her want to work hard for his film.
"Ajab Prem is a very different film. Rajji is a taskmaster on the sets and the results of that are visible. I need to dedicate enough time and attention to this film because I think the movie is going to be very special and very important for me. It's nothing like I have done before," said the 24-year-old actress.
Katrina shares similar sentiments for Jha, who has helmed films like Gangaajal and Apaharan in the past.
"Prakash Jha is highly intelligent and highly interested in his project. A film like Rajneeti is not something where I can just jump and say - 'Sir, my hair is done, my costume is done and I'm ready', something I can do in most films that are comic capers.
"For films like his, one has to research clothes. I can't decide on my own what I want to wear or what I would prefer. I have to follow the character I am playing. Rajneeti is a very grounded, a very rooted film, and so I am going to be dedicating a little more time as the project requires it," she said.
In Rajneeti, Katrina sports a simple and de-glamourised look in a crisp cotton sari and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Although the look bears a resemblance to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi, the director has denied that her role has anything to do with the senior leader.
Though Katrina has mostly starred in comedies like Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng, Partner and Welcome in her over five-year-old career, she says she "might not be doing another comedy, fun, masti film very dedicatedly any time soon".

I've proved all my critics wrong: Katrina Kaif
"When I started, people were not only writing me off for my strong British accent, there were many others who tried to prevent me from making it till here, " Katrina told in an interview here.
"They didn't do so in an aggressive or excessive manner, but they used to say things like 'I don't know...' and 'I'm not sure...' that would suggest a not-so-positive approach towards me. But I proved myself ultimately.
"I always try and push myself to exceed expectations. I use this ideology in a positive way, " she explained.
Katrina was emphatic when she spoke of her belief in destiny.
"The great thing about life is that you never know what can happen and there's no limitation to it. Someone can tell you that you can never be this and never be that. It's not true. Anyone can be what he wants to be and destiny plays a major part in it. God has of course been very kind to me.
"I believe that everyone should try and live their dreams, follow them and they might just come true someday, " Katrina said.
From her disastrous debut with "Boom" in 2003 to five hits in a row in 2007, the 24-year-old has not only worked hard on her acting skills, she has also shown a marked improvement in her Hindi dialogue delivery.
Commenting on her improved accent, Katrina - born of a Kashmiri father and a British mother - said: "Interacting with various people on and off the sets and doing some eight Hindi movies, dealing with Hindi scripts, practising dialogue delivery... I think that in itself has taught me and helped me improve my accent."
Katrina is in the news nowadays for having delivered one box office dud "Yuvvraaj" after delivering six back-to-back hits including "Namastey London", "Apne", "Partner', "Welcome", "Race" and "Singh Is Kinng".
After so many hits, she was tagged as a lucky mascot for producers by trade pundits, but the actress is not pleased with the "lucky" label.
"'Lucky mascot' doesn't make any sense. It is such an illogical statement. A successful film is a combination of a good director, good music, intelligent script, good timing, destiny, everybody's efforts and audience's reaction. There isn't a reason or an explanation that you can tag a person as lucky, " she remarked.
"If you see Akshay Kumar, he was an action hero and then he went to comedy and found out his real calling. It took him to new heights of superstardom. I think it is important to take risks and figure out what really suits you.
"Every actor has a strength like Aamir does romance and Akshay does comedy, but I don't know my strength yet.
"If I get a contrast role in one film like where one get-up has me play a simple, shy and homely girl, the other has me as a brass and loud girl, I would definitely do that, " she said in an excited tone.
As of now, Katrina has a number of films in her kitty.
She is doing two films with Ranbir Kapoor including "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" by Rajkumar Santoshi. She is also working with Prakash Jha on his multi-starrer "Rajniti".
These apart, she has one comedy film in hand and a two-film deal each with UTV and TV 18 respectively.
Ranbir Kapoor hits Katrina Kaif
The incident happened on Monday evening when the stars were shooting a chase sequence. “An elaborate set was created at Madh Island and it was a chase sequence where Ranbir and Katrina were supposed to be running away from some goons.
All was fine till the point where Ranbir needed to suddenly turn around. He did that but in the bargain hit Katrina’s nose with his hand and the delicate actress went tumbling to the ground. She was in great pain but realised that it was unintentional, so she didn’t complain,” says a member of the crew.
The director had to cancel the shooting as they had to seek medical attention for injured Kat. The next day, too, Santoshi did not shoot the film but used the free time to do some decoration on the sets.
Well, Ranbir must be hoping that Salman doesn’t take this episode to the heart!For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize
Katrina Kaif never looked so beautiful
"Katrina looks like a dream in Yuvvraaj. She has never looked so gorgeous before."
Katrina fans have been nonstop blogging compliments galore and some interesting insights too.
Fans strongly feel that besides Subhash Ghai other directors who can do justice to Katrina's looks and talent are Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Yash Chopra.
According to sources "A Sanjay Leela Bhansali or a Yashraj film starring Katrina will be a real treat for the viewers. Both the directors are known for their strong portrayal of women in different genre of cinema. Sanjay Bhansali & Yash Chopra are both world class directors. And Katrina's looks spell class.
The two would be a perfect director-actress combo."For Gossips And Mirch Masala Log On To Bollywood Paradize
