Katrina Kaif: The Award Awe!

Kats who is normally very reserved in her comments did show that she was made of sterner stuff when she answered that it felt good to be nominated but then to receive an Award was not written in her list of priorities, as in the past too she has been nominated but the Award was given to some other actress. But this time she boldly insisted that she would like to give herself an Award as she was sure others would not do so.

Kats also went on to say that Salman Khan who was in the industry for the last 20 years had not got a single Award and perhaps she was following his footsteps that even though they deserved Awards it was always given to some other Star. Kats jokingly commented that Salman and she should be getting special Awards for not getting any Awards till date.

All this took place in Mumbai where Kats was called to announce the Awards which are to take place in Yash Raj Studios on the 27th of February. Katrina is to perform on many of her hit songs for the Awards night and has begun her practice sessions.

Well the other nominations for the category along with Katrina are strong contenders like Kareena Kapoor 3 Idiots, Priyanka Chopra for ‘Kaminey’, and Deepika Padukone for ‘Love Aaj Kal’etc So with a tough competition from her contemporaries it remains to be seen if Kats wish to win an Award is fulfilled or not, but till then our fingers are crossed for her.

Salman has inspired me: Katrina

Mumbai: On Wednesday evening we caught the very candid Katrina Kaif announcing the much awaited night of the year – the 55th Filmfare Awards to be held on the February 27. Katrina is nominated in the best actress category for her film New York, but we couldn't help but ask Kat who she thought was the most deserving performer of the year.

I think I would chose Priyanka Chopra from Kaminey or Vidya for Paa, but can I choose myself,” asked Katrina.

Considering Katrina has never won the best actress award, how does she comfort herself in the face of fierce competition?

Katrina says, "Salman has inspired me, work for 20 years give hits and don’t win awards!! Everyone has a different career, I'm not trying to emulate anyone. If I deserve an award I'll get it. I enjoy the movies I'm a part of. I'm happy where I am."

The bollywood diva is looking at the brighter side too.

"There's a new category for people who have never won awards... It'll go to me and Salman," hopes Kat.

Hope you are listening Filmfare.

Bollywood’s Katrina Kaif Says No Kiss Kiss

The buzz from Bollywood today involves superstar Katrina Kaif’s supposed refusal to do onscreen scenes that involve kissing or wearing revealing clothing. The long and short of her new acting mantra? “No kissy, no bikini shots.” Kaif has reportedly shunned the idea of doing scenes which she feels are uncomfortable. In fact, based on all the stories coming out today, she always has felt bad about being asked to do such scenes. This could be the best or worst PR movie ever in Bollywood if reports are true.

Katrina revealed she never liked doing such revealing or intimate scenes in the first place, but she is going to rectify her mistakes in the past, and is refusing to give in to pressures any more. One source suggests that Katrina told director/producer Tarun Mansukhani of her decision while making Dostana Part Two.

Apparently, directors and producers have basically tried to force Kaif to perform such scenes by suggesting the script or story line demanded them. Kaif says this will no longer work. Many critics suggest Kaif’s stand on the issue may not be a wise one no matter how successful she has become.

Other actresses are ready to do just about anything to get a part, so Katrina is putting herself in a little bit of a compromised position in the long run. Still, she has to be respected for taking a stand on her own artistic license an interpretation. At least if these reports are true. The beautiful actress is maybe one of the only artists in Bollywood who could pull such an act off. Leaving more to the imagination is a good thing really. Many fine actresses, in Hollwood for instance, have taken their personas to the next level in such a way. Of course refusing kissing is a lot more limiting than refusing nudity or love scenes in general.

Katrina just accepted an award for her contributions to cinema from the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India. She revealed a little more of her personal mantra to fans and critics alike in speaking about “self belief” as a key to life success. Katrina reportedly made the following statement to reporters in New Delhi:

“I think everyone wants to make the best of the opportunities you get in life. Everyone has a special place in the world and I think self-belief is the most important thing which keeps you going so you should never lose it.”

Katrina Kaif is Bollywood’s most famous actress obviously. Leading can be a difficult task for any celebrity or official as we all now. Many of Katrina’s fans and associates will obviously appreciate her position on these issues. Confidence after all, come from knowing one is doing the right thing. The bottom line on the PR end of things is, if fans support her decision she is a genius. Otherwise?
