Katrina Kaif: Lesser known facts

The 'URI' actor Vicky Kaushal almost fainted when Katrina Kaif wished to work with him some day and also praised the actor for his work. Since then, the talks about their increasing closeness are making rounds in the tinsel town. Buzz about their fondness and liking are also making headlines.

However, the latest what we have heard through a report is that both Vicky and Katrina are in touch with each other these days. In fact they are constantly talking to each other through out the day.

Reportedly, Vicky has become a close friends with Katrina now. While Vicky Kaushal's fondness for Katrina was evident through a talk show, now with these reports it seems its also the other way round.

With this, Vicky and Katrina fans would love to see them steaming up the silver screen soon.

It is quite rare to see Bollywood celebrities engage in social causes secretly. Usually celebrities like to let the world know about their humanitarian side to gain more and more fan following. However, Katrina Kaif while maintaining a low-key about her charitable side is silently doing her bit to support girl child’s education.

As per reports, Katrina has been donating a chunk of her earnings to a school in Tamil Nadu. She has been working towards the development of the Mountain View School the past couple of years but apparently none of it made it to media reports.

Reports also claimed that Katrina visits the school whenever she has the time and almost never fails to donate money there. In fact, it is also being said that the she completely gives away her earnings from to this school which is a part of her mother’s NGO project. Her mother Susanne Turquotte mainly focuses on providing quality education to underprivileged children which also includes English education which they otherwise are unable to afford.

Not only does Katrina spend some quality time with the kids and donates her earnings to provide them with better education, but has also reportedly sung nursery-rhyme voice-overs for these kids in collaboration with the musical genius A R Rahman.

Katrina Kaif has much reason to celebrate , fresh off the blockbuster success of 'Tiger Zinda Hai' ,the star readies for her upcoming release 'Zero' with Shah Rukh Khan.

The superstar whose performance was well received at the highly successful US & Canadian leg of the Dabangg tour , took the internet by storm with her performances.

Sources now reveal that ,after the spectacular success of the show ,Katrina will soon take a short holiday to celebrate her birthday with her family at an undisclosed location. She then resumes shooting for Aanand L Rai's Zero on 18th July.

Adds the source, "Katrina will soon take off for a well deserved break. The star has been working around the clock for her films and simultaneously rehearsing for the Dabangg tour. She has decided to celebrate her birthday with her family this year and while details of her trip remain unknown , the location is one of the family's favorite holiday destinations. Katrina immediately jumps back into work and resumes shooting for Zero by the 18th July".

Katrina Kaif who was last seen opposite Salman Khan ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ has a couple of films lined up in her kitty currently. She will be next seen in Aanand L Rai’s ‘Zero’ which also stars Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in titular roles. She will reportedly be playing the role of a heroine who is struggling with alcoholism. Reports also state that she will be seen opposite Abhay Deol in the film.

Apart from ‘Zero’ she will be seen in Remo D’Souza’s dance film opposite Varun Dhawan. This is the first time when the two fantastic actors will be uniting for a project together and the fans have been excited ever since its announcement. She also has a project opposite Aamir Khan in her kitty. As per latest reports, Katrina is now trying to play it safe and has become extra choosy with her films.

A source close to the actress revealed to a daily that Katrina is receiving many offers, but she is being more careful now. Having done films like ‘Fitoor’, ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ and ‘Jagga Jasoos’ with younger stars, which ended up being duds, she cannot afford to make another wrong move. She is one of the top stars in Bollywood, but she does not want to shoulder the responsibility of a film by being paired with a younger actor who does not pull crowds; unless, of course, she gets a great script.

Salman Khan’s Da-Bangg tour is one of the most-anticipated events of the year. Fans from across the world wait to see their favourite stars cast their magic on the big stage. This year’s Da-Bangg tour will be held in the US and the grand event is said to be spread for 2 weeks. Salman Khan will be joined by Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez, Sonakshi Sinha and Daisy Shah along with Prabhudheva, Maniesh Paul, and Guru Randhawa.

The stars who will be performing on stage are already prepping for their respective acts. A source close to the team revealed to a daily that the rehearsals are on in full swing. There will be special performances where Katrina will do an aerial act and Jacqueline will enthrall the audience with her pole dancing. Salman, too, will perform on a few of his chartbusters and join Kat and Jackie on songs like ‘Swag Se Swagat’ from ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ as well as ‘Heeriye’ from ‘Race 3’.

Reports further revealed that Katrina will be the only female star who will be paid a hefty amount for Da-Bangg: The Tour Reloaded. Sonakshi and Jacqueline, on the other hand, will be reportedly paid a relatively lesser amount for their acts. The source revealed that Katrina will be paid Rs 12 crores as she the biggest star from the lot apart from Salman Khan and is a terrific dancer. Jacqueline and Sonakshi are both getting somewhere between Rs 6 cr to Rs 8 cr. But Jackie’s remuneration is a little higher than that of Sona, added the source.
