"I am not the queen of B-town" - Katrina Kaif

Her tresses cascade over her shoulders. Her bee stung lips look as if they would drip any minute. Those Jack Daniel eyes can give you a high, which no alcohol can. It’s not for nothing Katrina Kaif’s called a testosterone magnet. Men go weak kneed at the mere mention of her name. Women look at her with envy, wishing they had what she does. We’re sitting in her living room. Dressed in her T-shirt and pajamas, she looks like a toned down version of a movie star. Her success story remains enigmatic. She’s however nonchalant about it. Personally, it’s being reported that she’s Ranbir Kapoor’s love interest. She refuses to be drawn on that. Over the years, she’s become inaccessible to the press. And she blames the media for it. She opens the door just a little and lets you catch a glimpse of the real Katrina Kaif. Excerpts: 

Katrina Kaif upset and distressed over leaked bikini pics with Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina Kaif recently made headlines when a leading magazine published her bikini pictures. The actress was snapped holidaying in Spain with her rumoured boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor.

The duo, who have never openly declared their relationship, seemed to be enjoying a sunny day at the beach on their Spanish holiday.

However, Katrina Kaif was not pleased at all with this "invasion of privacy" as she puts it.

Katrina, who has just returned from Sri Lanka after spending quality time with Ranbir, has sent an open letter to the media with an appeal that all media running the pictures of her Spanish escapades refrain from doing so.

"I am writing this to say that I feel most upset, distressed and invaded at my pictures published in a film magazine (and which were carried by other media). The pictures were taken while I was on holiday by someone who, in an act of cowardice, has shot without permission and then used the pictures for commercial gain," she wrote in her letter.

"There is a breed of journalism that preys on celebrities in the worst possible manner crossing all lines of privacy and decency. Running these pictures shows support for this school of journalism."

"I request that all media running these pictures please refrain from doing so. I have a wonderful relationship with the media and have been accessible to the media at all times. There is no reason for this furtive and invasive behaviour," her letter further read.

On the flip side though, Ram Kamal Mukherjee, Editor of Stardust Magazine, which had published Ranbir-Katrina holiday pics, disagreed with Katrina.

On asked about how Stardust managed to get the private moments on camera, Ram reveals the pictures were clicked in Spain by an international photographer.

Katrina and Ranbir were spending sometime on the beach, indulging in some water sports.

Salman Khan in new Thums Up 200ml @10 TVC.

Salman Khan becomes the 'Bigg Boss' of TV, to make a whopping Rs.130 crore in season 7 .

Salman Khan may not have a film release this year but that will definitely not affect his annual income. The superstar is all set to become the top-paid television personality, with his per-episode remuneration reportedly increased to Rs.5 crore for the seventh season of Bigg Boss. Salman's pay packet this year is exactly double of what he earned last year - Rs.2.5 crore.

The show will go on air in mid September and will have Salman in a double role presenting himself as an angel as well as a devil.

According to sources, the actor's new contract has a total remuneration of Rs.130 crore for season seven. He will be shooting two episodes per week, in which he will be seen in his diametrically opposite avatar, highlighting the theme of the show - heaven and hell.

The channel has brought forward the airing of the show to September from the usual month of October because Salman insisted on finishing shooting for the show before the decision on his legal cases. The trial for his 2002 hitand-run case will begin in August and the actor is prepared to finish the shooting in three months.

With the increased remuneration, Salman has taken a lead from Aamir Khan, who was till now the highest paid actor on TV. For the reality chat show Satyamev Jayate, Aamir had reportedly charged Rs.3 crore per episode. Amitabh Bachchan was paid around Rs.2.5 crore per episode for hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati's last season.

He will be back with the seventh season of the show in August.

An open letter to the media from Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif felt betrayed that a segment of the press chose to encroach on her personal space and print photographs of Ranbir Kapoor and her, on vacation on a beach in Ibiza, Spain.

I am writing this to say that I feel most upset, distressed and invaded at my pictures published in a film magazine (and which were carried by other media). The pictures were taken while I was on holiday by someone who, in an act of cowardice, has shot without permission and then used the pictures for commercial gain.

There is a breed of journalism that preys on celebrities in the worst possible manner crossing all lines of privacy and decency. Running these pictures shows support for this school of journalism.

I request that all media running these pictures please refrain from doing so. I have a wonderful relationship with the media and have been accessible to the media at all times. There is no reason for this furtive and invasive behaviour.
