Secret Wishes

Katrina Kaif, The sensational actress who turned 27 yesterday (16th July, 2011), had not just one but two reasons to party.

While it was her birthday and also the second day of her latest film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara that released on 15th July garnering great reviews.

Though the actress didn't divulge about her celebration plans, she shared some facts talking about the gifts that she wants this year. Kat said, "I am hoping my film does well. That will be the best birthday gift."

Last year, the actress had spent her birthday in Spain while shooting for the film. But the film's success is not all that Kat is wishing for this birthday. Apparently, it's a bike that Katrina desperately wants.

Just recently, Amitabh Bachchan expressed his desire to own a Harley Davidson, which he rode in his film Bbuddah... Hoga Terra Baap and now Kat wants one too.

Incidentally Katrina has driven a bike in her latest flick Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and has ever since wanted to own a bike. She said, "I secretly wish that I was a biker. I loved riding the bike in ZNMD and I wish to get one. I hope my co-stars Hrithik, Abhay and Farhan gift me one," she said with a naughty smile.

Well, we wonder what Kat will do if she gets the bike. For if she rides it on the streets, the traffic infested roads will only get all the more worse!

From lovers to good friends.. Salman & Kat

Actress Katrina Kaif, who usually remains tight-lipped about her relationship status, told a fan that she is currently enjoying her time with family and that Salman Khan is her good friend.

During a chat with her fans on Airtel's "Talk2Me" platform, when the 26-year-old was quizzed about her relationship, she said: "At the moment I am just with my family and nothing going on like that."

When a fan said that people feel she looks good with Salman Khan, the British-born actress said: "Ya, he is a good friend of mine."

The two were reportedly seeing each other but broke off last year.

The actress is currently busy promoting her upcoming film "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara", also starring Hrithik Roshan, Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar and Kalki Koechlin. The film directed by Zoya Akhtar will hit the screens Friday.

Kalki Koechlin pregnant ?

Close on the heels of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan announcing her pregnancy, another married actress is under the scanner.

While the lean and beautiful Kalki Koechlin is busy promoting her new film, Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, her recent absence from a couple of events have sparked off rumors that there's something brewing, after all.

Add to the fact that her husband, director-actor Anurag Kashyap, has clearly stated he would like to expand his family, and the whispers seem legitimate.

There were also unconfirmed reports that Kalki was visibly unwell at a recent event, making tongues wag again. However, a source close to the actress has rubbished those claims, stating that the bubbly actress was just the victim of a monsoon stomach bug.

Sounds like a case of "there's no smoke without fire", but until we hear it straight from the horse's mouth, we'll just wait to offer our best wishes.

Hrithik and Katrina kiss on ZNMD..

Hrithik Roshan has just returned after a grueling month-long schedule of Agneepath in Diu to the news that he is trying to pressurise Zoya Akhtar, director of his forthcoming movie, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, to tone down the sizzling chemistry between Katrina Kaif and him and leave a steamy kiss out on the editing table.

Rubbishing rumours, the star says, “The song revolves around five friends (Katrina, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol, Kalki and Hrithik) and there are no moments between Katrina and me there. But yes, there’s a kiss and I believe that if you’re going to risk your life and jump off a building, you bloody well should make it look convincing. Unless you are honest during such moments of physical intimacy, you will appear uncomfortable and guilty on screen. When you see the lead pair in an English movie kissing, it’s rarely offensive or ‘a bit much’. That’s because of the conviction in their performance.”

Negating reports of creative differences with Zoya, Hrithik points out that she’s the only director, apart from his dad (Rakesh Roshan), with whom he’s done two movies — Luck By Chance (2009) and ZNMD, and the only female director he’s worked with: “Zoya is an artiste who doesn’t feel the need to conform to a herd mentality. She is always thinking out of the box and trying to figure out how to do things differently.”

Hrithik admits that he’s always wanted to take a road trip but it wasn’t till he piled into a car with ZNMD co-stars that he experienced the heady joy of seeing the world. “

Katrina does not wanna kiss Salman

Katrina Kaif made an exception in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara and kissed Hrithik Roshan in a sequence. However, not again!

The actress, like the other two Khans Salman and Shah Rukh Khan has made it clear that she would never kiss on screen, come what say. The clause doesn't waver even for 'good friend' Salman Khan.

When a situation for a kiss arose in Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger both Sallu and Kat said a clear no. Says a source, "Kabir Khan had convinced Katrina for the only kissing scene she has done so far in New York. He was sure she would see how important it was. But with both Salman and Katrina adamant on the no-kiss policy there was no choice but to drop it."

Katrina admits she has broken her no-kiss clause for ZNMD. "Yes, there's a fleeting kiss with Hrithik. It was something that had to be done. But that apart, my stand on kissing remains unchanged," she says.

In fact, the actress is in two minds about buying the rights for the 1998 Drew Barrymore rom-com The Wedding Singer because a long kiss is integral to the plot. "I love that film. But the kiss, No!" Kat says.

Wary about singing..

Actor Abhay Deol thinks he cannot sing! And that is what put music composers Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy ill at ease. For his upcoming movie Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara, Abhay was made to sing for a track. While Abhay’s fans will be in for a treat to hear the actor sing, it wasn’t a cake walk for the musicians, who had a tough time with the actor. “Making Abhay sing was quite a task,” recalls Shankar Mahadevan.

“It was very difficult to make him (Abhay) sing. He has never sung in his life before, hence he was quite wary about singing,” adds Shankar.

Apparently, the actor was too unnerved when told to record a song. So how did the trio get Abhay to record the song? “We played smart,” quips Shankar. “We told him that we are not recording and that it is just a rehearsal. It kind of made him feel comfortable and he opened up and started singing, while we were recording it simultaneously,” he adds.

Besides Abhay, his costars — actors Hrithik Roshan and Farhan Akhtar — too have lent their voice for the film. And while Abhay was freaking out at the thought of singing, Hrithink and Farhan were all at ease. “Hrithik is a fabulous singer… very confident too. We didn’t have to work too much on him. And regarding Farhan, we have already worked with him for all the tracks in the film Rock On,” Shankar says.

The world knows that they are an item but Abhay Deol and Preeti Desai have decided that they will never speak about themselves.

"Abhay feels that Preeti's interviews will be dominated by questions about him since she has just started off. She is debuting in Shor) and she needs to be known for her work and not for the relationship she is in. Abhay doesn't want his star status to overshadow his girlfriend and has advised and coached her to avoid taking questions on him.

He too has decided not to talk about Preeti except for an odd question for which he is generally giving monosyllabic answers," says a mutual friend. They have a plan and both are acting on it as when BT asked Abhay to talk about his relationship, he told us, "I feel great." Three words only for the woman he loves!

No more questions on Abhay plz." Well pyaar kiya toh chupana kya guys?
