She came, she saw and she conquered. Katrina Kaif became the talk of the town and also a bankable star after her back to back hits last year. Her new movie Race is released and she sure looks hot in it.
"It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept. The exposure has to be relevant to the film and its characters and not forced for the sake of titillation. On the contrary, some of the greatest Indian films have been devoid of all these sexual trappings. I know my comfort zone in today's Indian culture and society." - Katrina Kaif.
She was chosen as the face of the year for the Lakme India Fashion Week (2005). Her favorite Indian designers are Rina Dhaka, Tarun Tahiliani, Rocky S. Her favorite international designers are Armani, Versace, Miu Miu. Favorite Attire: Jeans and T-shirt (casuals) and ethnic Indian wear when it comes to formals. Favorite perfume is Gucci Rush. Favorite Indian food is dahi and rice. Skin care: "I drink lots of liquids, and juices minus the sugar. I remind myself to drink water regularly and exercise for at least an hour daily." Exercise: "Exercise is a must. It doesn't have to involve going to the gym daily. It could be some form of exercise like running, a breathing exercise, jumping ropes, or anything else to keep the body active." Hair care: "I use shampoo and conditioner in moderation and take care not to expose my hair to the sun too much." She is very particular about her clothes which she wears. She says that is comfortable in not-so-revealing clothes in personal life and she hates is make up.
