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”.

Mumbai, Aug 1: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said that Sushant Singh Rajput case should not be politicised or used to create friction between Maharashtra and Bihar.

Amid the ongoing criticism faced by the Mumbai Police following an investigation into Rajput's death case, the Chief Minister stressed that Mumbai Police is not "inefficient" while appealing those who have any evidence in regard to the case to step forward.

"Mumbai Police is not inefficient. If anyone has any evidence they can bring it to us and we will interrogate and punish the guilty. Please do not use this case (Sushant Singh Rajput death case) as an excuse to create friction between Maharashtra and Bihar," Thackeray said on Friday.

"Bringing politics in the case is the most deplorable thing to do," he added.

Maharashtra government has filed a caveat before the Supreme Court in the Rajput's death case.

Earlier, Bihar government and Rajput's family have filed caveats in the top court seeking to challenge actor Rhea Chakraborty's petition that sought transfer of the FIR registered in Patna to Mumbai in the actor's death case.

"After Bihar government and Rajput's family filed a caveat in the Supreme Court, Maharashtra government has filed a caveat before the SC today to ensure that no order is passed in Rhea Chakraborty's petition case without hearing its (Maharashtra) side," said Sachin Patil, standing counsel for Maharashtra Government.

A caveat is a legal process, in which the party which had filed it before the concerned court, shall have to be heard definitely before the concerned court passes any order in future.

Bihar Police has sought the assistance of Mumbai police to probe the Sushant Singh Rajput case, Mumbai police Crime Branch officials told ANI. However, the Police are still considering their request.

Bihar Police team reached after an FIR was filed by late actor's father KK Singh against Chakraborty in Bihar under several sections including abetment of suicide.

Rajput was found dead in his Mumbai residence on June 14.

New Delhi, Jan 2: Hoping her cinematic voice can help bring about lasting change in how society perceives acid attack survivors, actor Deepika Padukone says her latest film Chhapaak should ideally be so impactful that there won't be need for another story on acid violence.

After all, cinema is in itself such a powerful medium, Deepika told news agency ahead of the release of the film, which is based on the life of acid attack survivor and activist Laxmi Agarwal.

The idea behind the social drama is to invoke empathy and understanding rather than paint women who have undergone the ordeal as victims, the actor, who has also produced the film, said in a telephonic interview from Mumbai.

"Beyond the gruesomeness, the violence and all of that, there is a story of the human spirit and hope. That's why we're telling the story," she said.

Deepika, 33, said it was a story that spoke to her and she felt pride in attaching herself to the project.

Chhapaak, directed by Meghna Gulzar and featuring Vikrant Massey, is the second mainstream film to focus on the subject after 2019 Malayalam movie Uyare starring Parvathy Thiruvothu.

"I hope we won't have to constantly tell stories on acid attack survivors for us to see change. I hope with our film we begin to see that change for ourselves as a society and for acid attack survivors.

"If we don't, then we've done something wrong as a society. Cinema in itself is such a powerful medium that hopefully just through this one film we will hopefully be able to see that kind of change and impact," Deepika said.

The actor said there was not much planning behind the decision to back the film financially.

"Sometimes certain films need a little more hand holding, a little more love and support. I felt like I would be adding a little more value as a producer.

"This is a film I'm very proud of, not just from the script point of view but even in terms of the story and its message," she said.

The film, which releases on January 10, will be Deepika's first release in two years and comes after her marriage to frequent co-star Ranveer Singh.

The actor said she used the time to creatively replenish herself.

"It was about finding a film worthy of putting out there. It's not that work at my end had stopped. I was constantly looking for scripts that challenged and excited me.

"I would look at it as time for creative fertility. It's important to nurture yourself. The work that goes on behind the scenes... most often we're constantly on a film set, but whether it's meeting with writers and directors, looking for scripts... That is also part of the creative process and that's what I've been doing."

The title Chhapaak instantly evokes the image of acid being splattered, and Deepika said the director wanted a word for the film's name that could also lend itself to a song.

"I think she said 'chhapaak', which is the sound of a splash, is something that could adapt or lend itself beautifully to a song. Perhaps, it also has to do with fluidity. So on one hand, liquid is known to take different forms, a liquid such as this (acid) can change someone's life forever," she said.
