@ katforeva: Films are based on team effort. So much hard work goes into it. To say say that Katrina was the ONLY reason why her male-costars gave hits is quite an extreme statement! The public seem to luv Akshay Kumar in his masala flicks and that is where his success ratio lies. As for NY...frankly speaking the film was so flawed, I'm shocked it was even a hit. And APKGK also did well because of Ranbir. C'mon! Don't take credit away from him. He portrayed his character with such ease as well as cuteness!
I'm not a Kat fan, but would like to say think that I can be honest without being biased or unfair. I still believe that Kat is a limited actress. She has improved but still has a long way to go. But she does seem to work hard, I will give her credit for that.

She may have used her connection with Salman but at the same time she has worked very hard. Even in the movies with Akshay, she had good roles to play. She did justice to those roles and looked beautiful.

SHE, Katrina, is the one that brings in all the crowds for all her movies. Whether you like it or not, it IS the truth! 😆 People are in LOVE with her, for whatever reason, so that is why they go to watch her movies and they become HUGE hits!

And Katrina DID give amazing performances! Many of them!
Namastey London - where SHE was the main lead, NOT Akshay! She portrayed the character SO well!
New York - Where she was so good and the script itself was really good. She was a huge part of it and without her, the film would have been incomplete!
Raajneeti - She was awesome in that! Her role was towards the end, but she did a fantastic job! But you have to agree, Prakash Jha basically used her for promotion! And whats sad is that she let him! 😡
The rest of her movies are masala flicks where I agree, she didn't have much to do but the audience went to see the movie because of HER! I give Katrina full credit for all her movies & its not her fault that people adore and love her so much!
Just watch, Mere Brother Ki Dulhan will be a huge hit! It has Imran in it - but then you people will say why doesn't she work him or him or blah blah blah! She IS working with different actors! But sadly you guys don't want to accept her. Now thats not her fault and I'm sure shes not worrying! Because there are so many people in the world who adore that girl and there are many more people who like her than people who hate her!

You shouldn't generalise. Not everyone that is critical of Kat, hates her. Hate is a very strong word! I at one point was a fan of Karisma Kapoor but admit that she worked hard to become a successful actress and people then took her seriously when she worked on herself in all aspects. I'm just giving an example...I know that Lolo has no connection with the topic! But to bundle up everyone and put them under the same category such as "hater" or "jealous" is quite foolish!!

I just love it that some people wants to prove that Katrina's movies arent hit because of her LMAO could u please tell me who has more hits than her? what i am meaning is STOP acting like her movies are flop and before u attack me its not me who says that its the BO and the whole industry knows that she is the BO queen its ok u dislike her etc.. but atleast dont try to say that the truth is false because its true that her movies arent flop.
LMAO some people say that Salman deserves a lot of her success I completly disagree see Katrina did work very hard to get her conections to she did Sakar before MPKK and then she did MPKK people are acting like MPKK became the biggest blockbuster that year and that it was the best movie for a new comer etc... plz stop acting so because it completly wasnt, there so many more luck people in the industry today like the once who are son or daugther of an actor or actress they get an chance to debut in the best debut mvoie they could ever dream of like a KJo, movie, SLB movie, YRF movie etc... BUT Katrina didnt get such a debut she didnt start to work with such big productions houses in the start of career she did work very hard to get the kind of movies she got, and she deserves everything she went through lots of rejections but she did never give up she did keep trying and she did keep working harder and she had a goal and today she is where she wants to be all because of her hard work so lets stop taking all this from her.
Yes Katrina isnt the best actress but she is so underrated as an actress many of the haters dont even watch her latest movies but they still say the same thing: she cant act!
thats what is so funny they dont go and watch her movies and say the same thing, she has improved a lot Katrian is very undderated as an actress she was FANTASTIC and awesome in Namastey London the movie completly belonged to her and she stealed the atention her acting her dialogoue delivery was awesome everything was perfect, Jasmeet was made for Kat even though the likes of yash chopra and others from the industry and the audience did praise her performance she still didnt get the kind of praise she deserved, even in HDKG she was amazing she was so good in emotional scenes, and in APKGK she was awesome her comic timing and she was great in the emotional scenes but she again didnt get the praise which she deserved, I am glad she got a lot of praise for NY from the critics she deserved it she was awesome in it and so fantastic in Raajneeti she delivered an awesome performances her dialogues were awesome her hindi has become so good but some people cant stop their hating they still say she cant say a word in hindi lol, the sad thing about raajneeti was that her role was small and i got so dissapoint at prakash for doing that.
But I agree she didnt give good performances in the rest of her movies but its not her fault, Katrina has always done justice for all her roles she has done exactly what the roles has required her to do I mean she cant give a powerful performance in a movie like DDD, welcome, partner and mpkk. In these roles she had to have some comic timing and looking gorgeous and thats it and she did that perfectly so its not her fault, If she gets to work with awesome directors(whic she is doinh now) then we will get to see new sides of her, talented directors can bring the best out of her like kabir, vipul, santoshi, and prakash jha did.

I dont think she is being under-rated at all. She is being over-rated and getting tons of attention.
Its' people like Konkona Sen, Kangana and many others who are being under rated. Although very talented are not getting roles they deserve.
Anyway, nobody hates Katrina. They just would like to see her improve her acting. her Hindi is def quite accented and if your playing a character type that is supposed to know Hindi then it is jarring.
But, both Namaste London and New York gave her an opportunity to use more english language and gave a reason for the Anglacized Hindi.
She is very popular!! For sure, ..nobody is denying that, but people feel that as a person who is not a super actress what can you attribute for the reason of her success.
Being Salman's girlfriend definitely helps. Doesn't mean she has not worked hard on herself. she's pretty and she obviously is pulling in crowds . But, please dont discount the talents of Akshay and Ranbir. Also, John and Neil were really superb in New York. It was a well directed movie on a whole and of course it is the only movie I really liked her in.
I actually would prefer her to continue to play Anglacized characters and take on more of a role in a movie which allows her to show more of her acting skills. I'm giving her a chance honestly. Hopefully she will definitely prove herself. Let's see.

Most of us are somewhere today because of someone's generosity or help or they gave us an opportunity but after that it is only our hard work and luck to some extent that makes us successful.
BY asking this question you are belittling her efforts and assuming that Salman Khan lost out now that they are supposedly no longer in a relationship.
They were never officially in a relationship and we do not know the nature of their 'relationship' or whatever it has been.
I doubt that Salman Khan is heartbroken about the relationship if it has ended. I do not think that he ever got over Aish.
Maybe he also used Kat to stop people asking him questions about when if ever he would get married and not make it as if he was pining over his lost love Aish.
Who knows who used who? This is bollywood and nobody is purely white in character.

I would say her Beauty and Sheer LUCK. No one would ask for her had she not been as beautiful/ pretty as she is. She can't act to save her life but again most of the current actresses are like that (Beauty, no acting - with an exception of Kareena, Vidya, Priyanka is obviously better than Kat-- just to name a few).

I would also like to mention that Salman did make a HUGE difference in her career. As maya commented that their RELATIONSHIP was not official but that hardly matters. All u need for publicity is rumor. And RUMORED to be one of Bollywoods BIGGEST STAR gives enough HEAD TURNERS and media attention. She is a crowd puller undoubtedly but like most in Bollywood--- She is a STAR, not an ACTOR!!!!!

As hard working is concerned, she is working hard for movies indeed. SHe has a lot on her cards but in ACTING department. I dont see how she's fared well :| esp after having done so many movies :|
