Salman Khan's there for me: Katrina Kaif
Katrina Kaif opens up about the men in her life and all that she has learnt from love
What made you accept Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, which features three big heroes Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay?
Thanks for the concern. But didn't I say 'yes' to Rajneeti, which had five big heroes Ajay, Nana, Arjun, Ranbir and Manoj? Some of them are even national award winners. And no, I am not getting lost in this film. I have a lovely role in the film. I play a carefree diving instructor.
Well, the carefree part is pretty evident. You've been rolling in tomatoes with Hrithik. After an intimate scene like that, was it very difficult to resist getting attracted to him?
Well, nobody would be an actor if he/she were not charming at some level. Hrithik is happily married. We are just here to work. And those tomatoes were stuck all over me, so yes I had fun. But there is no question of getting romantically attracted or having to resist.
You seem to be okay with the boys, but you have turned down offers to star in films with other A-lister actresses. You refused to work with Priyanka. Is working with Deepika also ruled out?
If there is a good film with Priyanka, why will I not say 'yes'? The same applies to me doing a film with Deepika. I didn't opt out of Barfee because Priyanka was in it. I had other reasons. You don't sit at night and make notes that 'I won't do this, I won't do that'.Do you take your colleagues out for dinner and speak to them on the phone every night? Is there a need to develop many equations?
Coming back to the men... You start shooting with SRK for Yash Chopra's next. Will this bother Salman?
I don't know how to respond to a question like that (laughs). I don't know what his take is on this, but I am pretty confident that one would be very happy that I am doing a film with Yash Chopra and Shah Rukh.
Salman has on several occasions spoken about loyalty. And people who have crossed paths with him have witnessed his wrath like Somy Ali, Sangeeta Bijlani and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. But, you don't seem to be on the list. How is that?
We are both single. But he is there for me. We are a part of each other's lives in whatever capacity possible. And that is just between the two of us. I wouldn't like to talk about our present interactions.
How does it feel to be single again, after the end of your past two relationships?
I have never dissected my personal life. What sense would it make?

I am no adventure freak: Katrina Kaif
“It’s so much fun watching the rains from here instead of being caught in the traffic in a downpour outside trying to reach the sets on time,” she remarks. But we figure, that the actor hasn’t let the injury slow her down, instead, she’s taking it easy simply because she’s just wrapped up two of her films and has some time before she plunges into the next two. “Yes, luckily I got to put my feet up and enjoy for some time at least!” she smiles.
But while she relaxes, the buzz around her doing a Yash Chopra film with actor Salman Khan’s frenemy actor Shah Rukh Khan has been gaining momentum with tongues wagging about how it will affect her relationship with Salman.
“People try to look too hard searching for the fine print, but to be honest there are no issues about me doing a film with Shah Rukh or Salman or Imran (Khan) or Ranbir (Kapoor) or Hrithik (Roshan),” she says.
“I prefer leaving the personal equations out of the professional ones.” That also explains why she isn’t giving into the hue and cry being made about her intimate scenes with Hrithik in their forthcoming film. “What’s there to talk about that? It was a part of the scene, just like any other.”
Incidentally the film also sees her show off her adventurous streak. But Kaif points out that she’s hardly the sorts in real life.
“I’m not too much of an adventure sports freak actually. I did learn scuba diving for a couple of scenes, but can’t say I’d like to take it up again,” she laughs. What she’s also not keen on taking up for the moment is film production. “I’m not turning producer any time soon. Not even for Isabella (sister) who’s anyway still busy studying,” she clarifies.
“I don’t believe in saying ‘never’ but nothing’s happening on that front for now,” she says setting the record straight.
I’m not romantically attracted to Hrithik -- Katrina
Apparently, Katrina has shared a lot of intimate scenes with Hrithik in the film and rumors suggest she was even bowled over by the hunk’s charm.
However, when asked if she got attracted to Hrithik during the making of the film, and if she did, then how did she resist herself from it, the bombshell clarified that she has never been romantically attracted to him and thus no question if resisting arises.
Talking about her co-star Hrithik, Katrina said, “Well, nobody would be an actor if he/she were not charming at some level. Hrithik is happily married. We are just here to work.
"And those tomatoes were stuck all over me, so yes I had fun. But there is no question of getting romantically attracted or having to resist.
Salman comes to Katrina’s rescue
As per the latest tabloids, recently, Katrina’s shoot for her deodorant commercial was stalled by the members of FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees), as the actress was not registered with the organization.
Talking about the incident, a source informed, "Some members from the body came and stopped the shoot. They wanted to know her registration number, but since she hasn't completed the legalities, they issued her a warning and asked her to comply with the rules. A visibly upset Kat was disturbed by the entire episode."
The actress then rang up all her redeemers, but it was only Salman who came to her rescue and settled down the issue.
President of FWICE, Dinesh Chaturvedi confirmed, "I did get a call from Salmanbhai saying that the needful will be done. I am speaking only for the benefit of the actors who aren't registered. Since Katrina is the only big star who doesn't have the card, we wanted to know how we could help her out."

Salman and I are a part of each other's lives -- Katrina
The Brit-Indian bombshell Katrina Kaif, who made her acting debut with a flop ‘Boom’, has today become one of the reigning Bollywood queens, thanks to her ex-flame and superstar Salman Khan.
Well, Katrina should be thanking her lucky stars, as even today, despite being dumped by her, Salman is ready to stand by her throughout the ups and down in her life.
Recently, in an exclusive conversation with the TOI, Kat got candid about her bonding with Salman and articulated that though they are not dating each other, she and the ‘Dabangg’ Khan are a part of each other’s life.
When asked why Salman treated her unlike his other former girlfriends, Katrina expressed, “We are both single. But he is there for me. We are a part of each other's lives in whatever capacity possible. And that is just between the two of us. I wouldn't like to talk about our present interactions.”

I have nothing to do with Dhoom 3: Kat
However, despite the denials, the buzz surrounding her refuses to die down and recently it was said that she could lose out on the Dhoom 3 unless she agreed to wear a bikini. Given that her contemporaries like Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra have worn a swimsuit for films like Kambakkht Ishq (2009) and Don (2006) respectively, and Katrina herself had flaunted one in her first film, Boom, back in 2003, YRF was said to be firm on the issue. And had a second choice—a newcomer—lined up if she refused to toe the line. “I have nothing to do with this film,” retorts Katrina. “I’ve just wrapped up one Yash Raj film, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan with Imran (Khan) and have two others lined up. One is with Yash Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan and the other is Ek Tha Tiger with Kabir Khan and Salman Khan. Bas (that’s it), that’s more than enough work for me for this year. Rest is misreporting.”
It's Difficult To Let Go, Says Katrina Kaif
Touted as the sexiest actress in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif has come a long way from her first film Boom to her latest that hits the marquee next month. Denying some rumours and accepting some Kats literally lets go...
Ques: The other day, at a magazine event, you reportedly stressed on your single status saying, 'I don't think I'm sexy, else I wouldn't be single'...
Katrina: I don't think I meant that. There were too many people causing commotion at the place, so I was just joking ¦ I don't think it is relevant."
Ques: Moving on to your film, the first thought to cross your mind when you hear the phrase, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
Katrina: It's easier said than done. Because most of us worry about our jobs, future security, when we will settle down, where will we be 10 years from now and other things that it's difficult to let go.
Ques: So didn't you let go while playing Laila in the movie...
Katrina: Well, I enjoyed playing a girl who doesn't plan tomorrow. She can happily sit on the beach, go diving, ride a bike, in short do whatever she feels like without worrying about where she'll get her money for the next week and so on. I wanted to learn how to ride a bike. And I love the water, so it was fun indulging in deep sea diving. As an actor, one does get to experience things one would never get a chance to otherwise.
Ques: What were the most memorable moments when you let go while portraying Laila?
Katrina: Both, dirt biking and deep sea diving were more traumatic than I had initially anticipated. I had the basic understanding of smaller bikes, but I had to practice with a bigger and heavier one for the movie. I refused to understand that you've to let the bike fall, as I was being stubborn and trying to prevent it from going down. So I got hurt once or twice. As for diving, I had learnt it in a pool, but had to shoot the scenes in seas with choppy waters. It was so stressful that at the end of the four-day shoot in the waters, I had lost three and half kilos.
Ques: We believe you had close encounters with the sharks while shooting in the sea?
Katrina: Well, I was told about the sharks later, after we had finished the shoot. I was angry at not being informed earlier, but I was explained that the knowledge could have caused me to panic and hamper my performance. Of course, if I had known about the sharks, I wouldn't have ventured into the waters. About a month later, I heard the place was shut due to sharks.
Ques: Your chemistry with Hrithik Roshan has generated a lot of buzz, fuelled further by reports of a three-minute long kissing scene...
Katrina: I believe that for the chemistry to work, the film has to work first. For me, it's a new test like every other film. If the audience likes it, the film works and that's why the chemistry between the characters works.
Ques: Ek Tha Tiger sees you team up with Salman Khan again. Aren't you apprehensive the pairing will distract audiences from the roles you two play in the movie?
Katrina: I don't think so. That's director's challenge to make sure the story and the film is strong to overcome all that. If people have any expectations or their interest is piqued because of the reports so far, I'm fine with it. Our job is to ensure that the audience gets interested in the film for what it is and not by reports.
Ques: Having bagged Yash Chopra's next film with SRK, you're being heralded as YRF's blue-eyed girl...
Katrina: Not at all. Adi (Aditya Chopra) is someone who won't cast you unless he really believes you suit the role. I don't know if anyone else would have done the role in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan. Besides, I had not worked with Imran (Khan) before, so it made sense. I've worked with Kabir (Khan) in New York. So when he started scripting Ek Tha Tiger, he wanted me to be a part of it, given our equation. As for Yashji's film, it made sense to them because I've never worked with Shah Rukh before.
