Katrina Kaif – Not Sexy

Despite being constantly voted sexiest no.1 by her fans by an international magazine, Katrina Kaif insists she is not sexy. "It feels good to be voted for by my fans and that too in such huge numbers, but I don't think if you wear a bikini or show skin, you look sexy," she says, "I would rather say I’m pretty."

Apparently confounding her own comments, Katrina looked startling at the Audi Q5 Launch Party at the India Bulls centre in South Mumbai. Wearing an off-the-shoulder blue tiered body-hugging dress with crisp black belt and shoes, she probably frustrated the organisers by constantly dragging people’s attention away from the car.

Katrina is still thrilled at being chosen as the model for the Indian Barbie and excited at the news that it will be making its appearance at Bloomingdale’s in New York as part of the doll’s 50th anniversary celebrations. “I’m thrilled!” she exclaims, “As a kid I used to play with Barbie dolls — which girl hasn’t? Almost every household has one. It’s every little girl’s dream companion.”

Now that the Bollywood strike is over, there are a whole slew of Katrina films to look forward to: New York with Irrfan Khan, John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh, who Katrina has described as ‘the cutest2; Rajniti with Ajay Devgan; Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani with Ranbir Kapoor; De Dhana Dhan with Akshay Kumar, Neha Dhupia and Sameera Reddy and finally 7 Days in Paris with Imran Khan

New Delhi, Feb 18 (PTI) From "The Warrior", "Slumdog Millionaire" and his latest film "Billu", it has been a long journey for him in the industry but Sahabzade Irrfan Ali Khan says he has always tried to create his own space in the field of acting.

Irrfan is riding high on the success of "Slumdog Millionaire" and "Billu", says things have not changed much for him post the success of these films.

"For me there has been no change. As an actor I have always been looking forward to interesting roles and trying to create my own space in the industry," Irrfan told PTI in an interview.

"When you try to create your own space which is not very conventional it is going to take time but I know what I want to do and I am enjoying the process of it," said the actor, who has earned accolades world over for his small but significant role in Danny Boyle's Oscar nominated film "Slumdog Millionaire".

Irrfan was recently honoured by the British House of Commons for his outstanding contribution to the Indian cinema.

"I was surprised and humbled by it because as an actor you do need recognition for your work," said the actor.

His central character in "Billu", which has been produced by Shah Rukh Khan, is being hailed as a coming of the age film for the actor.PTI
