Katrina distributes Rs 5 lakh hard cash among crew members

Mumbai, March 20: Besides his infamous wild antics and strange rage, Salman Khan is even famous for his large heartiness. The actor who is known to go all out for friends and family has had a huge influence on his ladylove Katrina Kaif. And no, Katrina is not going bashing people.

Apparently, Katrina is much too smitten by Sallu’s humane gestures of love. The actress in a rarest of rare gestures surprised everyone as she went to distribute Rs 5 lakh of hard cash among unit members of her upcoming film ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Katha’. 

According to our sources, on the last day of the shoot Katrina distributed Rs 5 lakh among crewmembers, which included technicians, make-up artists and spot boys. 

The lissome beauty for some unknown reason was in an exceptionally happy and giving mood. Bowled by the good job the unit had pulled of for the flick, topped with her good mood, the actress decided to give out big bucks to the unit.

Sources tell us that after wrapping up the schedule, Katrina went in her vanity van and came out carrying lugs of money.

Confirming the news, a news daily even quoted a source as saying, "Katrina went into her vanity van and came out with bundles of notes and started distributing them among the unit members. She was in a happy mood and wanted to share her happiness with everyone."

Well going by the bomb she has always been for her flicks, we are sure Rs 5 lakh won’t make much of difference to the this generous lady.

Katrina Kaif in a serious mode


After a slew of out and out comedies like Namastey London, Partner and Singh Is Kinng, Katrina Kaif is now working on two "difficult" films - Prakash Jha's political drama Rajneeti and Rajkumar Santoshi's romantic comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani- and the actress wants to devote extra time and thought to the projects.

"This year I would like to allocate time to big films. The kind of films I am doing - Rajneeti and Ajab Prem... are a little more difficult. They need time and also a little more thought process," said Katrina. The films are slated for release this year. 

In Ajab Prem... Katrina shares screen space with Ranbir Kapoor and Upen Patel, while in Rajneeti she stars alongside a bevy of actors including Ranbir, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Manoj Bajpai. 

Katrina says that Santoshi's dedication and "knack for making his actors win national awards" is something that makes her want to work hard for his film. 

"Ajab Prem... is a very different film. Raj-ji is a taskmaster on the sets and the results of that are visible. I need to dedicate enough time and attention to this film because I think the movie is going to be very special and very important for me. It's nothing like I have done before," said the 24-year-old actress. 

Katrina shares similar sentiments for Jha, who has helmed films like Gangajal and Apaharan in the past. 

"Prakash Jha is highly intelligent and highly interested in his project. A film like Rajneeti is not something where I can just jump and say - 'Sir, myhair is done, my costume is done and I'm ready', something I can do in most films that are comic capers. 

"For films like his, one has to research clothes. I can't decide on my own what I want to wear or what I would prefer. I have to follow the character I am playing. Rajneeti is a very grounded, a very rooted film, and so I am going to be dedicating a little more time as the project requires it," she said.

In Rajneeti Katrina sports a simple and de-glamourised look in a crisp cotton sari and with her hair neatly tied in a ponytail. Though the look bears resemblance to Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi, the director has denied that her role has anything to do with the senior leader. 

Though Katrina has mostly starred in comedies like Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng (Vipul Shah), Partner (David Dhawan) and Welcome(Anees Bazmee) in her over five-year-old carrer, she says she "might not be doing another comedy, fun, masti film very dedicatedly any time soon". 

Apart from Rajneeti and Ajab Prem..., Katrina has Yash Raj Film's New York, Anthony D'Souza's Blue and also a two-film deal with production house UTV in her kitty.

How Katrina Kaif overcame her health scare?

It took a lot of self-determination, discipline, and guidance of health and fitness experts for Katrina Kaif to overcome a health scare that troubled her for some time.

Not many people know that Katrina was bogged down by a health scare at the turn of the year. It all started when she got hurt on the sets of De Dana Dan in December last year. She later developed a blood infection and despite popping in 1500mg of antibiotics everyday, the actress did not feel fit and healthy.

“When I went home to London for Christmas, I was listless and lethargic and could hardly move around,” Katrina is quoted as saying in a media report.
With the start of the New Year, Katrina resolved to change her lifestyle. She stopped eating chicken. She hired a microbiologist Sonali Sabharwal to suggest her on healthy diets. 

More than anything, Katrina began doing regular workouts and exercises. She roped in fitness expert Yasmin Karachiwala who’s since then been guiding Katrina in achieving an overall fitness of the body. 

In the meantime, Katrina also got in touch with Kareena Kapoor and got some fitness tips from her.

Today, Katrina has overcome her health scare but she’s not letting her guard down. No junk food for her. She only eats the meals sent by her microbiologist friend. Katrina works out for at least an hour every day. She even takes her fitness trainer to outdoor shoots.

Okay! Now we know why Kat has been glowing so much lately.

Katrina Kaif surprises with her long Hindi speech

It was an occasion to celebrate for the unit members of Rajniti. By now everyone is aware of the fact that Katrina Kaif is not too polished with her Hindi diction.

Recently during the shoots in Bhopal, Prakash Jha who is known for his realistic films wanted Katrina to deliver her dialogues, lengthy ones at that, in chaste Hindi. He asked our pretty Kat to learn it by heart.

Katrina plays a politician in the film (which apparently has been inspired by Sonia Gandhi) and her character is required to speak unadulterated Hindi sans an accent.

Mausi says Katrina disappeared for hours. And just before the final take, Jha asked Kat to deliver her dialogues once. To everyone’s surprise the actress delivered her dialogues without a mistake. Jha along with his crew were speechless for a second.

Katrina Kaif gets upset with salmans Harkat

And what do I get to hear when I get back? Something about my dearest Salman Khan which makes my heart sob. Poor guy. He’s brought sunshine to the lives of so many.. even the women in his life who don’t care two hoots about him. I’m told.. by some reliable khabrus.. not the mulazims I have.. that the doll-like Katrina Kaif is acting too big for her boots with Sallu.. someone who’s lifted her standards professionally. Apparently, Kat’s air-laden behaviour upset Sallu so much at Amrita Arora’s Aurus bash that he simply left the do. No salaams and duas there.. so unlike him.
