Bollywood's New Queen – Katrina

No Blues!!!

By: Shams Irfan

If you were asked to pick the most successful, good-looking, handsomely paid actress of the year who has made it big in the Bollywood, then almost instantly you will scream Kat from top of your voice. Am I assuming too much? Not exactly, Katrina Kaif is undoubtedly the most success actress who has made it safely into 2009. About others, I have to be too lenient to let them pass without any ifs and buts!!!

But for beautiful Katrina, the year 2008 proved to be lucky in more than one ways: she didn’t have even a single flop, what? Yeah I know ‘Hello’ and ‘Yuvvraaj’ were big let downs…but still I prefer to pardon Katrina for being generous towards her boyfriend Sallu.

Cool Kat...

Katrina Kaif closed year 2007 with ‘Partner’ where she kept funny-bone Govinda on his toes most of the time while real life partner Salman Khan was trying his luck with gorgeous Lara Dutta; Kat ‘Welcome-d’ 2008 with ‘Race’ staring alongside sexy rival Bipasha Basu .

The movie was a box office hit while its songs became discothèques and party fodders throughout the year (zara zara kiss me kiss me…), and Katrina once again managed to pull it off in style despite Saif and Bipasha’s engaging onscreen chemistry…kissing success!!!

Zara...Zara...Kiss Me

Then came along Katrina’s lucky mascot Akshay Kumar and the movie was Anees Bazmi’s ‘Singh is Kinng’. Akshay-Katrina pairing proved success once again and sellable too…‘Singh is Kinng’ became year’s biggest blockbuster shattering all previous records.

Once again Katrina managed to get noticed [big time] despite Khiladi Akshay’s towering presence in the movie – Kat crisscrossed our hearts with superb dancing numbers like “jee karda bai…jee karda…”

Golden Girl - Kat

But the most awaited moment of Katrina’s life came towards the end of year [not talking about ‘Yuvvraaj’, I know it was a dud], the moment was something that beautiful Katrina might have been wishing for years [in secrecy] …. Katrina replaced former beauty queen Aishwariya Rai as the brand ambassador of Nakshatra Jewelry. Since then I have been trying to find out how boyfriend Salman Khan felt…after all Ash’s loss is Sallu’s gain!!!

Now with films like ‘New York’ with John Abraham and ‘Ajeb Prem Ki Gazab Kahani’ with Ranbir Kapoor ready for release this year; queen of Bollywood Katrina Kaif is perfectly settled in her shoes…and yeah her love life with boyfriend Sallu is going steady!!!
