Salman Has Changed For Better - Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is a happy actor out in the town as she has had her own share of personal pride in the industry. The chances to work with the three pillars of Bollywood is just another cause. Katrina says she is blessed by god and her hardwork through the 8 year career without break has helped her climb to the position that she is in at the moment. At this point of time she isn't insecure and feels that she is a destiny's child and is confident that her share of work will come in through whatever the obstacles it may face!

"I believe in destiny, God’s hand and hard work. The audience has accepted me. I have zero fear. I am too focussed for all this. I believe in healthy competition. And in any case, what’s meant for you will come to you. Nobody can take that away from you. I am destiny’s child." says Kats who is awaiting her movie release on August 15 with Ek Tha Tiger. She  however is confident about the movie's success and is not in a worry mood. When asked if she was worried about the latest movie "I do, but I am positive. I am not letting ‘what if’ kind of doubts get to me. I am a religious person and rely heavily on prayers. There are huge expectations from this film because of the names involved." Katrina was talking to HT recently.

She doesn't forget her mentor Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar for their help to the career, but she strongly disagreed that if it wasn't for Salman She wouldn't be at the place that she is now.

"I strongly disagree. Yes, I owe him gratitude, but it’s unfair to say I would have not got a break without Salman. In this industry, everyone has people in their lives to help them in the beginning. Salman was helped by Sooraj Barjatya. And Salman also helped Sneha Ullal and Zarine Khan. I was young, impressionable and hardworking. In fact, Akshay Kumar is one of the few people who instilled confidence in me. I pick up things by watching people around me, and I picked up a lot of things from Akshay. To be fair there are many people who have played different key roles in my life. " says Kats.

But she is thankful to Salman Khan for his efforts at the start of her career "I’ve known Salman for eight years. He’s helped me as a person. His presence in my life was for guidance and, straightforward and simple views. He has immense knowledge of the industry and this is where he helped me from going astray."

The Ek Tha Tiger shows a great onscreen chemistry between Katrina and Salman Khan, and she thanks him again for being a wonderful pair and she says "Our equation is very different today and I believe that exes can be great friends." emphasizing the fact that she is still 'Single'. 

However she confessed that Salman is a lot changed person than what he used to be "Salman is blessed. His face has a very positive energy; there’s an aura around him today. I don’t know if it is success, his family or his good deeds, but I see a calmness, happiness and contentment in him today. Salman has changed for the better."

But is she attracted to Salman more? "For me, physical beauty is never the reason for attraction to anyone." (boo! Sallu)

She revealed that her favorite shot of ETT (still covering up the detail) is right before the interval and the shot is said to be a classic as per Katrina "It’s just before the interval. He gets into this serious, intense and anguished mode; very real and dramatic at the same time. He reminded me of the classic Hollywood heroes. This is very unlike the usual stuff that Salman does."

How about Marriage ? "Not right now. One has to be in that right space and feel right about stepping into that zone. There’s absolutely no pressure from my mom or anyone else. " She says that she considers her mom as the best example who waited until she got her career running before getting into commitments. 

However hard Katrina tries to tag the Single tag on to herself some incidents just blow it out, earlier she had been found with Ranbir at his house (news here) also she was spotted with Salman's sister Alvira Agnihotri last night(news here). So we can either see Salman or Ranbir falling in!

SNIPPET: Salman had earlier in an interview said that he is not happy with the kind of movies Katrina chooses and he falls asleep through most of the movies that he has seen of her! Wonder what Kats would have to say on this :)

John Abraham miffed: I didn't cast her out

One year long separation, as in Bipasha's horror movies, the ghost still haunts her and she is still said be suffering from the doings of John Abraham, atleast that is what Bipasha thinks. The latest story comes from the sets of 'Shootout at Wadala' where the rumor is that John had asked Sanjay Gupta to remove Bipasha from the movie. But on the other hand, both producer and the director has come forward to express that they had never planned of grabbing in Bipasha for the role. The truth still hides somewhere!

Bipasha and John Abraham was one couple which had envied many, for the fact that both were hot rolemodels or rather sex symbols for many. The duo had been quite good to each other and professional as well. But somethings did not work out good and it was Bipasha Basu who announced that they were no longer together. It has been an year since this happened and although John had not spoken much about this issue and had also waited for her to return back, it never happened and it seems that both have chosen their ways. But this new rumor pulls out the older stories together.

However, citing the thorough professionalism of John Abraham a close friend to John says “It has been nearly a year since John and Bipasha have broken up. However in spite of such a long time, John has maintained silence over the whole issue. In fact, in a recent interview to a daily, Bipasha hinted that John cheated on her. However, he did not even comment on it. But the recent news that he is instrumental in Bips being thrown out of Gupta’s film has upset him.”

“He has now moved on in life and everyone is aware that he is already dating Priya (Runchal) and has plans to settle down with her. He does not want any bitterness in his life and he wishes well for Bipasha who had been an integral part of his life for years. No one knows why they broke off and John has no intention of discussion that on a public platform. However, these constant attacks by Bipasha are now taking a toll on him. ” adds the close friend. 

Sanjay Gupta too denies the allegation and says, “Neither Ekta Kapoor nor I have ever claimed that Bipasha was a part of the film. So where is the question of her being out of the film? The last thing is to accuse John of doing something unprofessional. He does not in any way interfere in the casting process of the film. His silence should not be taken for granted. People are even saying that Naseerbhai and Nana Patekar are in the film but all I want to say is that nothing is finalised as of now.” 

Although in midst of this the crew says that they are aware of the tiff between the ex-couple's!

Deepika on Ranbir : We Share Great Friendship

When flames break, they tend to avoid each other, that is the trend, the recent example is of John and Bipasha who have avoided every situation of being together. But this is not the case with Ranbir and Deepika. The ex-flames had took their time off between each other after the breakup but at the moment they do not have any issues working together. The interesting chemistry between the actors were seen in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Diwaani' sets. 

The actors were working good with each other and what one thought would be tough to shoot was done fabulously by the actors. And the whole crew was praising their commitment and friendship. 

Ask Deepika if she feels bit awkward working with an ex-flame? she says, "No, because I feel if there was any sort of awkwardness we wouldn't have signed or agreed to do the film in first place. The reason why we agreed to do the film together because we knew there would be certain comfort. And I think in that sense we've both handled it very well. We've handled how to keep our personal lives aside and have focused on our professional commitments."

"I think Ranbir is as obsessed about Cinema, movies and work as much as I am. And for us nothing matters more than the work," she adds.

Deepika is quite happy getting back to being friends with Ranbir and she highly respects the camaraderie between them.


Says Deepika, "But on personal note I would like to say we share great friendship. I am glad that we have maintained that. Today I respect that more than anything else."

The romantic flick 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Dewaani' will be releasing by January 2013 and is said to be a fultoo romance entertainer. Deepika also has her movie Cocktail waiting for release this week.
