Katrina snatches another deal from Aishwarya

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Bachchan may not have come out of the pain of loosing the Nakshatra jewellery
endorsement deal to Katrina Kaif last year. but now the New York actress has snatched another endorsement deal from her. A soap that the former Miss World endorses wants Katrina to sign up for their upcoming campaign. A well placed sources confirmed that the company is already in talks with Katrina but the deal with the actress hasn't been finalised yet.

If that was not enough a reputed watch company which has Aishwarya on board for endorsing its products is in talks with Katrina as well. Earlier in the year Mattel Toys India Pvt. Ltd. had made Katrina the face of Indian barbie doll during the Lakme Fashion Week. This after the company had almost finalised the deal with Aishwarya Bachchan. So when the soap giant thought about dumping Aishwarya it did not surprise many.


Analysts believe Aishwarya who is the wrong side of 30 is slowly loosing her appeal over the younger girls. When L'Oreal hired Sonam Kapoor to endorse its product it was evident that Aishwarya's brand value had certainly taken a hit. Sonam made matters worse for the actress when she stated that she was youth face of the product while Aishwarya would appeal to the older women. Ash did not take this lightly and made sure Sonam's red carpet walk at Cannes was cancelled.

New York a heady, thought-provoking thriller

Bollywood, starved of a mega-hit movie in 2009, need look no further than New York, where the trio of John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh have put up a riveting performance.


Bollywood, starved of a mega-hit movie in 2009, need look no further than New York, where the trio of John Abraham, Katrina Kaif and Neil Nitin Mukesh have put up a riveting performance.

So what's the storyline about? New York is a story that revolves around three friends - Omar (Neil Nitin Mukesh), Sam (John Abraham) and Maya (Katrina Kaif) whose lives are deeply impacted by the fallout of 9/11 attack.

Omar, who goes to NYU in the Big Apple on a scholarship, befriends Sam and Maya and the three becomes an immediate hit - inseparable and fun. However, their friendship is impacted by the 9/11 attack, which changes the cityscape and their lives forever.

Meanwhile, Omar, who is in love with Maya, becomes heartbroken when he finds that she pines for Sam and relocates to Philadelphia, snapping all ties with the other two.

The movie then fastforwards to 2009 and we see Omar detained by the FBI as a suspect terrorist. FBI inspector Roshan (Irrfan Khan) tells bewildered Omar that his friend Sam is actually the dreaded terrorist Sameer Shaikh, who spearheaded the 9/11 attack.

Omar is shocked to be confronted with the reality as he knows that Sam is happily married with Maya but agrees to cooperate with the FBI who plants him in Sam's house, using him as bait to uncover the terrorist's plans.

But Omar has plans of his own and in his quest to prove Sam's innocence, uncovers truths that stun him and the whole world.

Though dragging at times, New York is a thriller that manages to bring out the best in John Abraham, Niel Nitin Mukesh and Katrina Kaif. Thanks to Kabir Khan, who has tapped their acting potential in New York, John, Neil and Katrina can look forward to signing on some meaty, serious roles in the future.

While John creates an intriguing graph for his character and flows with the character's pain of karma with a performance that suggests seamless vigor rather than labored angst, Katrina, comes into her own as an actress of substance, giving her best shot to the last half-hour as a wife of a terrorist trying to keep her moral equilibrium in sync with her husband's sinking values. Indeed, from the carefree effervescent campus girl to the anguished wife, Katrina makes the journey look plausible all the way.


And, Neil, as the rosy-cheeked, strawberry-lipped sophomore with stars and stripes in his eyes is fully convincing, credible, intensive and supportive of the two central performances and can safely bask in the glory of his new-found success. He deserves it, especially after he received a lot of flak when his earlier movie Aa Dekhen Zara turned out to be a damp squib despite making a decent debut with Johnny Gaddar.

However, Irrfan Khan turns out to be a bore and for no fault of his own since his role as FBI officer made the audience, who has seen him enact the role of a steely interrogator with minimalistic humor (like in Slumdog Millionaire) experience a deja vu.

Though New York is not the first movie to synthesize terrorism and friendship, it goes a step further to explore the evolution of terrorism in the context of home-grown emotions such as friendship and betrayal. The movie touches on the physical and mental abuse on innocent Muslims, who are imprisoned merely on suspicion, and their consequent repercussions are effectively portrayed. It challenges the existent codes of cinematic conduct but not by being fashionably unconventional.


All in all, New York is a heady thought-provoking thriller that passes on some striking information about what had actually happened in the US post-9/11 attack, without being preachy.

Katrina Kaif's skin fear

The beautiful Katrina Kaif has decided to not don any make-up from now on. The actress has become skin conscious and will try to shun glorified facial paints in order to save her skin from serious damage.

Katrina Kaif’s ethereal beauty has a lot to do with her flawless skin and the lady has developed a fear that if she continues being exposed to the routine make-up and strong arch lights, soon she would lose her skin’s natural sheen. So she will use minimal make-up during the shoots from now onwards.

The lady, while talking to a tabloid, expressed this opinion, which is not irrelevant for the actresses who work round the clock in layers of make-up under the dazzling and hot arch lights. Katrina is of the opinion that it’s very unnatural to put heavy make-up as it dulls the radiance of your face and is harmful for the health of the skin in the long run.

Quite expectedly, Kats hates sitting for hours for make-up sessions during the shoots. And she would in future avoid such sittings unless absolutely necessary.

A few days back, Aishwarya Rai was in news because she sneakily applied make-up while her director Mani Ratnam wanted her to look plain while shooting Ravana .

Not to forget that there are many actresses who have gone Plain Jane in films. Priyanka Chopra shot sans make-up for a considerable part of her role in Fashion and she is again without greasepaints in Kaminey . Katrina herself is sporting minimal make-up in Prakash Jha ’s political drama Rajniti .

How Katrina Kaif made it from Barnet to Bollywood

Flick through this month’s Indian edition of Vogue or any one of the country’s gossipy tabloids and you will see one face pictured again and again — that of Bollywood’s newest megastar: a 24-year-old from the London borough of Barnet.

The profile belongs to Katrina Kaif, who watched her first Bollywood film at the age of 16 on Channel 4. Rejected as a teenager by modelling agencies in London for not being skinny enough, she has the £1 billion-a-year Hindi cinema industry at her feet.

The trajectory of her career has been extraordinary even by Bollywood’s hyperbolic standards. She arrived in India aged 17, speaking not a word of Hindi or knowing how to dance — two prerequisites of Indian cinema. Today, with 15 films to her credit, she is India’s most searched-for celebrity, according to Google; the country’s sexiest woman, according to the lads’ magazines FHM and Maxim; and the sub-continent’s most bankable female lead, according to the past year’s box-office receipts.

Her A-list status was confirmed earlier this year when Mattel, the toymaker, said that a forthcoming Bollywood Barbie doll would be modelled on Miss Kaif — not bad for a former wannabe model who couldn’t get a break in waif-obsessed Britain.

Assured of being mobbed if she appears in public in India, she cherishes her relative anonymity in Britain and speaks fondly about being able to stroll down Finchley High Street unmolested during her frequent but secret visits to her childhood home. “My London childhood and my career are two very different things,” she said. “I don’t like people to make the connection. The little bits you’ll read on the internet here and there about my London roots, they are the limits of what I’m willing to divulge.”

What is known is that she is one of eight siblings — six sisters, one brother — born in Hong Kong to a British mother, a lawyer-turned- charity worker, and a now-estranged Kashmiri father. The family moved to Finchley via homes across the globe when Miss Kaif was 14.

After being brought up on a film diet of Casablanca, MGM classics and Charlton Heston epics — “my mum was strict; she wouldn’t allow us to see ‘bad’ movies,” — the exuberance of Bollywood resonated instantly.

Miss Kaif’s fair skin, classical features and hourglass figure proved an instant hit in India, even if her halting Hindi was initially jibed at. Industry watchers say that her success has been based on her work ethic as much as her looks. She has five films in various states of production at the moment.

Miss Kaif is about to take the biggest gamble of her career. Her next film, New York, is set in the United States and based on the 9/11 terror attacks. Part of a new wave of Bollywood films that are dispensing with traditional Hindi formulas, it risks bemusing her fan base, which is used to seeing her miming and dancing.

New York is going to be a complete departure,” Miss Kaif said. “No lip synching. No dancing. Whether it’s going to be a good surprise or a bad surprise — I like to leave those things in the hands of God, and destiny and the audience.”

Salman parties without Katrina

Katrina Kaif has been trying very hard to make the world believe that the relationship between her and Salman Khan is still on and the two haven't drifted apart. But is it really true?

According to reports, Salman had organised a party to celebrate the beginning of the new season of his game show Dus Ka Dum at his Bandra residence. Sallu's family and all his friends were there to watch the first episode of the show together, but Katrina Kaif was missing.

Kats is a busy bee these days with some great projects in her kitty, but can work be more important than love? While Katrina is trying to keep things under the wraps but as they say 'you can run, but you can't hide'.
