People will talk about someone else soon: Ranbir on his relationship with Katrina

New Delhi: Bollywood's blue-eyed boy Ranbir Kapoor took his moment and finally spilled the beans about his relationship with actress Katrina Kaif. The actor confessed about being in a relationship and also revealed his marriage plans, which are reportedly set for next year.

Now, with so much already done from his side, are we left with anything? Yes, we are!

The actor further went on to say, "Both of us are sure about our relationship and if we don't open about it now, it would be showing disrespect to the relationship. I am 33 now and it is time I have my family. Even Katrina wants that. I have grown up in a family where film is everything. So, I know the importance of gossip and my funda is simple. When there is gossip, try not to react and it is advisable not to think too much about yourself."

The couple came close while filming 2009 hit film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani", their first movie together.

They later starred together in Prakash Jha's "Raajneeti" (2010). The duo will be next seen in "Jagga Jasoos", slated to release next year.

I'm not doing 'Force 2': Katrina Kaif

New Delhi: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has denied that she would team up with "New York" co-star John Abraham in the upcoming sequel of hit 2011 film "Force".

Katrina, 31, was reportedly being eyed by producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah for the female lead in the action film, which will be directed by Abhinay Deo.
The original featured actress Genelia Deshmukh as the female protagonist.

"Reports about me doing the film opposite John are not true. There is nothing like 'Force 2' happening. The next film I would be working on is Anurag Basu's film 'Jagga Jasoos'," Katrina told PTI.

The "Dhoom 3" star said she has her hands full with three back-to-back films "Fitoor", "Jagga Jasoos" and a Karan Johar production directed by Nitya Mehra.

"After 'Jagga Jasoos', I will be doing Nitya's film which is being produced by Excel Entertainment and Karan Johar. We should be wrapping up principal shoot of 'Jagga Jasoos' by this August."

The "Bang Bang!" actress stars opposite Aditya Roy Kapoor in Abhishek Kapoor's "Fitoor".

"Fitoor is shaping up well. We will be wrapping up the shoot in about three weeks. It has been pretty much start to finish job because I have coloured my hair red for the film so the continuity was needed. It is nice to shoot a film in succession. I am hoping we wrap it on time and get a good release date," Katrina said.

The romantic drama film is based on Charles Dickens' novel "Great Expectation" and also stars veteran actress Rekha.

Katrina is happy to be a part of the movie as she finds her character interesting and feels she can portray it with conviction.

"I relate to a lot of things about my character. She is in denial of many things. She does not really know herself. She is also trained to think a certain way.

"Sometimes it happens you start living a certain way without even knowing if it is the right thing. It is a very interesting character and Abhishek has a very different take on it. I think I can understand this person and convey her across," the actress said. 

Katrina Kaif's wax statue unveiled in London

London: Katrina Kaif today became the latest Indian star to join the Bollywood line-up at Madame Tussauds in London.

Kaif unveiled the wax statue and joined the new Bollywood setting as part of the popular wax-work museum's "15 years of Bollywood" celebration. After coming face-to-face with her wax model, Kaif said, "This is amazing it does look really like me."

"Our world famous sculptors have worked closely with the Indian film industry over the last decade, and we now have a stellar line-up in a specially created Bollywood area ? one of the most popular in the attraction," Madame Tussauds said in a statement.

Katrina, born to a British mother and Kashmiri father, was picked after she went head to head with competitors Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone to win a hotly contested poll last year via Madame Tussauds website and in collaboration with Panjab Radio, with more than 225,000 votes were cast.

The 31-year-old British-Indian actress has become the seventh Bollywood actor to be honoured with a figure at Madame Tussauds London and joins Amitabh Bachchan (2000), Aishwarya Rai (2004), Shah Rukh Khan (2007), Salman Khan (2008), Hrithik Roshan (2011) and Madhuri Dixit-Nene (2012).

"Katrina collaborated closely with the Madame Tussauds artistic team to ensure total accuracy and is delighted with the figure, which is portrayed in a dancing pose wearing a beautiful sequined white, silver and gold, two piece outfit," a museum spokesperson said.

Katrina's figure was created by a team of 20 sculptors and artists over a four-month period, using hundreds of precise measurements taken at a sitting in Mumbai and cost 150,000 pounds to create.

Madame Tussauds Studios London has been making wax figures for over 150 years with each masterpiece taking up to four months and a team of 20 dedicated sculptors to create.

Over 500 precise body measurements are referenced, real head hairs are inserted one by one, and countless layers of paints and tints are applied to build up skin tones to achieve a kind of astonishing realism that visitors flock to see from around the world.

The Bollywood factor has proved extremely lucrative, with Indian holidaymakers and NRIs forming a large chunk of the visitor numbers at one of London's most popular tourist spots. 

Katrina Kaif reveals secrets behind her glowing skin

Don't take your skin for granted, says actress Katrina Kaif, who believes in the use of sunscreen, right intake of water and ensures that her makeup is removed well. The brand ambassador of the skincare range of L’Oreal Paris also says that women must take care of their body and skin according to their age.

"We shouldn't take our skin for granted, especially since we are often exposed to dirt, heat and pollution daily. We should never underestimate the need for a sunscreen to protect your skin from strong UV rays," the 31-year-old said.

"Through the day I drink lots of fluids, especially water to have my face feel fresh and hydrated. I always remove my makeup once I'm home for the day/night and use a moisturiser to not let my skin dry, even when I'm at home," she added.

L'Oreal Paris's Skin Perfect range is backed by 10 years of research at the global and Indian L'Oreal Research and Innovation Labs. The new range from the brand addresses the skincare needs specific to that age.

Talking about the need for a range that suits different age groups, she said: "Every decade in a woman's life comes with a changing set of priorities. It also comes with a changing set of skincare needs. L'Oreal Paris is addressing these needs of every Indian woman who might be prone to skin problems at some point in her life."

Katrina agrees that while women are asked to take care of their skin with home remedies and traditional beauty products in addition to maintaining healthy food habits, from a young age, she stresses on the need to use special products later in life.

"As we grow older, the demands of a hectic lifestyle take a toll on your body and your skin. This is why, it is essential to use products that replenish the vitality of your skin. Through its Skin Perfect range, L'Oreal Paris has personalised skincare for every age group, making it easy for Indian consumers to improve their skin tone leaving it with a healthy glow," she added.

The Skin Perfect collection comprises three ranges to address skincare issues at every age -- 20+, 30+ and 40+.

For the brand, Katrina has shot for a television commercial with Lisa Ray, who has been signed by L'Oreal Paris to endorse the new range. Katrina says Lisa is an absolute professional and full of life.
