Katrina Kaif's humanitarian side will make you respect her even more

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.

Is Katrina Kaif playing it safe to sustain in Bollywood?

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.

You won't believe how much Katrina Kaif is getting paid for the Da-Bangg tour

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.

Katrina Kaif in talks for Hollywood project with Jeremy Renner?

Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif might just be ready to go international by starring in a Hollywood project. According to latest reports doing the rounds, it looks like Kat is juggling work and play while holidaying in Los Angeles. After stars like Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Ali Fazal and Nargis Fakhri ventured West to bag roles in American films, Katrina has also reportedly set her sights on the big prize.
If online reports are anything to go by, then the actress is reportedly in hush-hush meetings with Fox Studios bosses. The actress is believed to have visited the studios with her trainer-friend, who shared a picture from there saying, “Sometimes life takes you on adventures."
If the picture didn’t raise speculations of an upcoming project, then ‘Avengers’ star Jeremy Renner suddenly following Katrina on her Instagram account did the trick. According to reports, she is the only Bollywood star that the Hollywood hunk is ‘following’ at the moment on the social networking app.
Early this year, the actress was asked about a possible future venture in the west. While she did state that Bollywood was her “home”, she admitted that if a good offer came along, it would be “a lovely experience” to do a Hollywood film.

Salman Khan had advised Katrina Kaif to join Facebook?

Katrina Kaif's Facebook debut has made her fans immensely happy for now not only can they interact with the actress but also get a peek into her life. However, they have someone to thank for this. Reportedly Salman Khan is the reason why Katrina, who is a evidently a private person, logged on to the social networking site. Apparently Salman coaxed Katrina into maintaining an online presence so that she can clarify her stand in issues concerning her. Given that Katrina thought the advice made sense, she chose her birthday to take the plunge.

All is well between Katrina Kaif and Karan Johar

All seems to be well between Katrina Kaif and Karan Johar after the latter was reported to be avoiding the actress after her breakup with Ranbir Kapoor.

While there have been several speculative reports about tension between Katrina Kaif and Karan Johar, a source reveals that contrary to these rumours the two continue to remain close friends. Says a source, "Katrina has always been a very private person and hence doesn't pay heed to these rumours. However, Karan Johar and she have been friends for years and continue to share a warm equation. They are constantly in touch with the developments of ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ and even meet regularly for dinners whenever time permits.

Katrina Kaif to ditch Salman Khan for Ranbir Kapoor?

While Ranbir and Katrina's alleged breakup has gotten everyone talking about them, Bombay Times recently revealed that the actors might not have officially broken up. According to a report on Mid-day, a source close to the couple described the situation as lovers having a mere tiff which might have been stretched a bit too far by Ranbir. Although Ranbir has his reasons, Katrina on her part is reportedly trying her best to make things work between them. Reports suggest that Ranbir was apparently pissed with Katrina as she chose to promote her film ‘Fitoor’ on a TV show, hosted by former boyfriend, Salman Khan. Given that Ranbir had allegedly skipped the show during his ‘Tamasha’ promotion, he reportedly expected Kat to do the same. However, the report suggests that Kat might give the TV show a miss, so as to placate her alleged beau, Ranbir. We hope things work out between the two and they live happily ever after.

This incident shows that Katrina is very calm in real life. But that is not the case when it comes to work. Click the following slide to know the whole story…
