At 24, Katrina sprints on path to success!

New Delhi, July 16 (IANS) As she turns 24, Britain-born Katrina Kaif, who was initially written off by critics for her strong foreign accent, can boast of having carved a niche in Bollywood in just five years.

Her birthday Wednesday will see a family get-together as her mother and sisters are arriving in Mumbai from abroad to celebrate.

"Katrina is working. She is doing radio interviews for her forthcoming film 'Singh Is Kinng'. As far as celebrations go, she will dine with her family members," a source close to the actress told IANS.

Katrina ventured into Hindi films from London in 2003 and struggled a lot mainly because of her accent and height. But then last year, she proved her mettle with four hits - "Namastey London", "Apne", "Partner" and "Welcome.

This year too she repeated the success story with "Race" and gave credit to her fans for her success.

"I don't think it's a matter of where you place yourself. It's a matter of how your fans feel about you and where the industry finds you. At this particular place I think I am lucky to be able to say that I do get offers for a lot of films," Katrina said.

She is one of eight siblings, all girls. Her mother is British and her father is from Jammu and Kashmir.

The actress spent her formative years in Hawaii, but later moved to London. She started modelling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the age of 14. Thereafter she continued modelling in London till she moved to Mumbai, pursuing a movie career.

While climbing the ladder of success, the actress kept her focus intact.

"I am pretty clear about what I want to do. I don't want to go down the road doing serious cinema. I am happy doing commercial films. The fun films give the audience time to escape the monotony in everyday life," she said.

Now all eyes are set on her films "Singh Is Kinng" and "Yuvraj". While the former is a romantic comedy and sees her once again with Akhsay Kumar, the latter is a musical extravaganza and will see her teaming up with real life beau Salman Khan.

"'Singh Is Kinng' is a comedy. Director Rajkumar Santoshi's script is one of the best scripts I have ever heard."

Katrina has now moved on to bigger banners like Yash Raj Films. She will soon be seen in "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" with Ranbir Kapoor

Wishing Priyanka Chopra, a very Happy Birthday!

Not long ago, the topmost officials from Thesaurus added words like 'Bollywood' etc, in their literary Bible! And it's not at all easy for anyone to convince these officials in adding any word, as they personally examine every word till they are fully satisfied to the core!

There was a certain request from one of Priyanka Chopra's fans to add Priyanka's name as the synonym to the word 'Gorgeous'. But when these officials saw Priyanka's glaciered beauty, they approved of the fan's request instantly. That's the magic of Priyanka Chopra!

And guess what! The girl with so many synonyms aka Priyanka Chopra is celebrating her Birthday today. And in order to prove to the Thesaurus officials that they did the right thing, simply post your messages for the Birthday girl below.

Salman Khan meets his look alike!

A mirror is an object of desire to many (read 'all'). But, if one were to think of the same on a philosophical level, then, it gets revealed that it's not the mirror, but, it's the mirror image that one is in love with! And can you imagine what will be your plight when you see your mirror image standing in front of you? Well, we are only asking you to imagine. But Bollywood's darling Salman Khan actually lived the experience of seeing his mirror image - live in flesh!

This happened on the sets of TV's most popular game show these days - 'Dus Ka Dum'. Salman Khan met up with his look-alike on the show, who, in real life, happens to be a dancer. While dancing in the show, the look-alike was really surprised and shocked (to say the least) to see Salman sneak up from behind him and strike a similar pose! What happened after that was out of anybody's imagination. Even as Salman was talking to his look-alike, the young man walked away as he was totally confused on coming face-to-face with his idol! One can't blame the poor guy though, because after all, he was in front of THE Salman Khan! On seeing his look-alike walking away, the real Salman in his usual trademark humor shrugged and remarked "Salman Khan sure has attitude!". We simply second that, Sallu Mia!

Shahid Dismisses Affair Rumors With Sania

Shahid Dismisses Affair Rumors With Sania-17july 2008

Shahid Kapoor, who has been endlessly linked up after his break up with Bebo, has grown really tiered of explaining people that there’s nothing between him and tennis star Sania Mirza. At a recent interview, the actor said,

“Sania is my favourite tennis player. I have met her and talked to her. I have nothing to hide about my relationship with her. She can be as good a friend as many other actresses in the film industry. What else can I say?”

Now, shall we beleive that or is it the typical “Just Friends” tag used before the formal declaration of the relationship???

Mallika Turns Sallu Down

Mallika Turns Sallu Down - 15 july 2008

Mallika Sherawat, who will be soon seen in Ugly Aur Pagli, turned down the offer to appear in Sallu’s “Dus Ka Dum”. Sallu and Mallika’s cold war started off in 2006, when the actors started for a world tour as a team. And this was just a rude way of making Sallu realise how important Mallika madam can be to him.
Was it the cold war, or Mallika is just not smart enough to even guess the answers???
