Birthday boy Salman Khan's most suitable wife: Katrina Kaif



Superstar Salman Khan is easily one of India’s most eligible bachelors in Bollywood.
Salman's 'single' status has been threatened many times but the hero seems unscratched and not ready yet.
From Sangeet Bijlani, Aishwarya Rai to Katrina Kaif, he charmed them all and has still managed to remain unmarried.
When we asked Salman if he ever plans to get married, the actor without hesitation replied, "I have been thinking about it. I have been married four times earlier (jokes). But it hasn’t worked out for me. But I will try for the fifth time (laughs)."
Most recently during a TV chat show 'Aap Ki Adalat' Salman said, "I will think about marrying only after the courts give their verdicts. If the verdicts go against me, I will marry only after coming out of jail."
Looks like Salman is finally gearing up, mentally at least, to get tied down.
Two months back Emirates 24|7 put out a list of top five probable Mrs Salman Khan - 'And the best bride for Salman Khan is...' and readers’ poll suggest Katrina Kaif winning the title hands down.
Now a matrimonial site in India, Shaadi.com, carried a survey to find the perfect match for the 'Dabangg' Khan.
Actress Katrina Kaif has topped the list of perfect matches for Bollywood's famous bachelor, and her former beau, Salman Khan.
Shaadi.com covered 21,000 respondents, and 69.84 per cent believed that Katrina, 28, would make an ideal wife for Salman, who turns 47 on December 27.
In the survey, several fans would like to see Salman's 'Dabangg' co-star Sonakshi Sinha as his off-screen life partner too while others won't mind seeing southern actress Asin as his better half in real life.
Another interesting survey around the 'Dabangg' star reveals that 62 per cent of Indian men don't want the actor to get married at all while 60.37 per cent women want him to settle down as soon as possible.
Do you think Katrina Kaif fits the bill as Mrs Salman Khan?

How Aamir Khan Became Katrina Kaif’s Santa Claus!


Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has proved to be Katrina Kaif’s Santa Claus. How? This year Katrina was supposed to be shooting for 'Dhoom 3' right in the middle of the closing months of 2012, thereby eliminating the possibility of the annual ritual of being home in London with her family for Christmas and New Year's. That's where Aamir stepped in!
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has proved to be Katrina Kaif’s Santa Claus
MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Aamir Khan has proved to be Katrina Kaif’s Santa Claus. Every year, unfailingly if possible, she likes to be home in London with her family for Christmas and New Year’s.
This year Katrina was supposed to be shooting for ‘Dhoom 3′ right in the middle of the closing months of 2012, thereby eliminating the possibility of the annual ritual.
But now with Aamir shooting for ‘Dhoom 3′ only at the end of January or the beginning of February 2013 Katrina can go home. Not only that, Katrina also has the time to squeeze in a couple of live performances at the popular awards in January 2013.
Says a friend of Katrina, “She thought she would have to miss her family get-together at Christmas and New Year’s. But she’s getting the time now. She had also said no to the stage performances at the popular awards which she thought she’s never be able to do with he tight schedules. But now she has the time to rehearse and since she is being offered big money—close to Rs 2.5 crores for the Zee awards alone – she might as well take up the offers.”
And she has only ‘Santa Aamir’ to thank for it.
Now if only she had been forewarned of the year-end schedule cancellations for ‘Dhoom 3′, she would have been able to accommodate Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Ram Leela’ into her date diaries.
Katrina came ‘this’ close to signing on for the Bhansali opus. But the dates clashed with ‘Dhoom 3′.
Hope Deepika Padukone remembers to send a New Year gift to Katrina.

Katrina Kaif to chip-in for Cameron Diaz

The British Indian actor Katrina Kaif, who moved to several countries before finally dwelling in Mumbai, is all set sizzle the screen in the remake of a Hollywood blockbuster 'Knight and Day'. She has emerged as the first choice for the Bollywood producers to be featured in action movies as she has the perfect looks and figure to do them comfortably.



The beauty queen will be playing the role of hot American actor Cameron Diaz in remake. The original film was a romantic action comedy film starring Tom Cruise and Diaz in the lead roles. The film was directed by James Mangold that hit the floors in 2010. The film was a big hit on the foreign box-office and had done a good business there.

The role of Tom Cruise is to be played by sturdy Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan. The actor is shooting for his upcoming flick Krrish 3, which is a superhero science fiction film. The film is to be produced and directed by his father Rakesh Roshan.



Katrina, who will be performing all her action scenes herself in her upcoming film Dhoom 3, had earlier, performed some fighting scenes in her recent blockbuster 'Ek Tha Tiger' (ETT) which grossed more than Rs. 200 crore on the box-office. Now, she has decided to do all her thrilling scenes without using a duplicate because she enjoyed doing them in ETT.

According to the sources, "Katrina worked very hard to do her action sequences in ETT. Now, she is looking forward for more complex scenes as she enjoyed doing them in her last. The Hollywood remake will be having some tough action scenes, which is unusual for any Bollywood actor."

For now, she has been training acrobatics to do action scenes in her upcoming flick Dhoom 3 with Aamir Khan many more. 



In the original Knight and Day film, Cameron Diaz performed some of the action scenes herself and rest were apparently shoot by a duplicate. Katrina will have to train herself to that level to perform those in the film. The actor will be training under the guidance of stunt coordinators, who are flying down to Mumbai in December. To manage the action sequences of the film, Robert Alonzo, David Rowden, Gregg Smrz and Ronn Surels will be here on the sets.

Katrina Kaif to get Rs. 2 crore for a wedding performance

Katrina Kaif is never out of work, it seems. Even when the actor isn’t shooting for one of her many film projects, she is still making money by utilising her free time to perform at weddings and awards functions. Now a source close to Katrina reveals that the actor was paid in crores for her recent appearance at a high-profile wedding at the Jodhpur Palace in Rajasthan. Incidentally, A-list 


Bollywood leading ladies are known to usually charge only between Rs.30-45 lakh for a performance. “She performed to some of her hit songs. Of course, her item number ‘Chikni Chameli’ was one of them and she was paid Rs. 1.5 crore for it,” says the source. And she was not the only one to enthrall the guests there. “Priyanka Chopra also took to the stage, but we are not sure how much she charged to be there. But the figure is definitely not more than what Katrina was paid,” says the source.

But the story doesn’t end here. The actor will perform again, early next month, at an event in the city, and she will be paid an even larger amount of money. 
“She has already bagged a deal for another wedding performance. This will be at the Taj Lands End, Bandra, on December 3. She is getting paid Rs. 2 crore for it,” says our source.
And who are the people who broker such deals for these stars? “There are a number of agencies functioning across the country that negotiate on behalf of their clients to have a star performance in a wedding and other social ceremonies,” says the source. 

Katrina is free until mid-December, after which she will be shooting a song for Dhoom:3.

Katrina Kaif to do all action scenes herself in Dhoom:3, Knight And Day remake

In the blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger (ETT) earlier this year, Katrina Kaif’s character, playing undercover agent Zoya, had a fair amount of jumping and kicking to do. 

The actor decided to perform some of the stunts herself, and had earlier told us, “The stunts in ETT were exciting... I had not done something like this before. I have to admit that action is challenging.”


But Katrina is far from done. For her upcoming films, she wants to do all the stunts herself. “While many Bollywood actors ask for stunt doubles, Katrina has insisted that she will do all the action scenes herself,” a source reveals.

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Images/Popup/2012/6/katrina-ek-tha-tiger.jpgShe has at least three major stunts in her next Yash Raj production, Dhoom:3, including an underwater fight scene. Post that, she starts shooting for the Hindi remake of Knight And Day (KND; 2010), with Hrithik Roshan as her co-star.
“Katrina trained hard for the action sequences in ETT. Now, she is looking to push the envelope and attempt more complex stunts. Besides, KND will have action scenes of Hollywood standard, which is novel for a Bollywood actor,” the source says.

This also means a fair bit of pre-shoot training for Katrina. The actor is presently learning acrobatics for Dhoom:3.
In the original KND, Cameron Diaz did a few of her stunts herself, and apparently used doubles for some. Katrina will, however, train so that she is able to pull off all the stunts herself. “Stunt co-ordinators are flying down next month to train her. The action sequences will be managed by a fleet of stunt co-ordinators — Robert Alonzo, David Rowden, Gregg Smrz and Ronn Surels.”
The training will start in December, which is a few months before the film goes on the floors.

Katrina Kaif thrilled about comparison to Julia Roberts


As if being voted the sexiest woman, the most popular star among kids and winning many such polls in addition to ruling the BO wasn’t enough to make Katrina Kaif smile, the actress was compared to Hollywood star Julia Roberts at a recent awards event.
While Katrina’s always been considered one of the most bankable female stars of Bollywood by trade in the film industry and brand markets too, being compared to the international actor made Katrina very excited and emotional too as Julia happens to be one of Kat’s favourite stars.
“It feels wonderful to be compared to Julia Roberts...” says Katrina. But she still maintains that what matters to her most is acceptance from the audience. “It’s very flattering and overwhelming to have the constant love and support of your fans. And that’s what has always been important to me. I think it’s the audiences who have to actually come and see your films,” adds Katrina.
The actress who had a double dhamaka at the box office first with the Rs200 crore blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan and then another hit Jab Tak Hai Jaan with Shah Rukh Khan recently is currently busy working on Dhoom 3 with Aamir Khan, which completes her film list with the Khan troika.
Trade analyst Komal Nahta points out that the comparisons are absolutely justified. "Look at her track record. Just like Julia is considered bankable in Hollywood, Katrina is just as bankable in Bollywood and she's proven it too. She's been topping polls, is the face of some of the biggest brands, and hitting jackpots at the BO. People are beyond talking about her luck now and giving Katrina her due. She's proving her talent time and again by being hardworking, and it all shows now," says Komal.
