March 14, 2015

Mumbai, Mar 14: At India Today Conclave, Katrina Kaif opens her heart about the most talked about issue of her life, Salman Khan, her current boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, his family about her mother, who dedicated her life to social work.

Katrina KaifSpeaking at the India Today Conclave 2015, the Bollywood actor flooded with ample personal questions by veteran TV host Karan Thapar. "I don't like people talking bad about me, I get hurt so precisely I don't end up saying that for others," the actor said.

Speaking about her mom Suzanne, Katrina said that she is an incredible woman, who has devoted her life to NGO work. She is a selfless angel. The diva also spoke about her only brother, “He looked tough initially but I have seen him transform into a gentle man. He will make a good partner”, quips Kat.

When she was asked why she chose Katrina Kaif as her name, she replied, “When I came to India I saw the openness of the people in Mumbai. I felt at home, I didn't come to be an actor but (to be a) model. As a model, I was very fortunate and achieved quite quickly. I didn't know Hindi at 17 when I was doing Boom. I had no experience at all. Jackie Shroff gave me a piece of advice: You must learn to read the Devnagari script. I took his advice and now all my scripts come in Devnagari”.

Speaking about Salman, Katrina said that Salman and his family was a great support for her personally and professionally, “There are many definitions with the relationship we share. I don't like to really share publicly or give labels to the relationship I share with him. Salman has been an important part of my life, not only in films but his family, his sisters. Till today, we are good friends. He is just an amazing person. He is unique, you don't meet many people like Salman. He will always remain an important part of my life. If you ever come across him, don't be afraid of striking a conversation, he interacts really well - be it a fan or who approaches him, he engages well with them”, she quipped.

Speaking about the most important woman of her partner’s life Neetu Kapoor, Katrina Kaif said, “The reason and person responsible would be me. Because since the last 8 years, I have chosen not to comment on my personal life, be it about the man in my life. I am a sensitive person, she is a beautiful stunning lady, somebody whom I have great admiration for. As a woman, she is a fantastic person. Ranbir's family is lovely, even his father is a darling”.

"Kelkar and Preeti Lad hit me in public view which was captured on the CCTV," the complaint stated.

Police have registered a non-cognisable (NC) offence and investigating, the official added.

Los Angeles, May 24: Hollywood star Salma Hayek says her daughter Valentina Pinault is a talented 12 year old who wants to be a director and star as a lead in a film one day.

The Oscar-nominated actor shares Valentina with husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault.

Hayek said she has confidence in her daughter's abilities and believes she has a long way to go.

"She has so many talents. She draws, she wants to shoot movies - both as a director and as the lead - and she writes great pieces. Sometimes when I read her work, I have an urge to produce these stories.

"But she tells me that she will do it by herself when she's older. I don't know what's coming next for her but it seems that she has a lot of ways to go," the actor told HELLO! magazine.

Hayek, 53, added she is concerned about Valentina who has always lived a sheltered life.

"Valentina has always done what she wanted, I've never made her do anything and this means she hasn't yet learned how to oppose pressure, how to overcome obstacles.

"I know by experience that only the overcoming of some difficulties can lead you in the right direction," she said.
