This is an old piece on how Katrina Kaif used to be so open on modelling lingerie. Funny on so much have changed in ten years and I'm sure a certain Salman Khan has a lot to do with her not taking off everything on screen.

If Liberty, co-sponsor of the India Fashion Week, aimed to make an impact by putting Katrina Kaif on the ramp, it obviously failed. With the model-actress at her oomphy best, not many were watching the footwear. The lissome lass from London, clad provocatively in a Rohit Bal outfit,

left audiences gasping for more at a specially crafted show to launch Liberty's new range. Adarsh Gupta, executive director, Liberty Shoes, certainly isn't complaining.

According to him: "We didn't know too much about Katrina till she accepted the offer for 'Liberty Revolutions'. But her professionalism has been truly amazing - she showed little qualm in going beyond the point where most Indian models would develop cold feet. It is her uninhibited sensibility that I think makes Katrina the perfect choice for advertising lifestyle products. In fact were are already considering her for future campaigns."

While the Kashmiri beauty has not quite found her voice in Bollywood thanks to her bad Hindi, she is clearly a rage on the Indian catwalk. Her exceptional beauty, hourglass figure and bindaas attitude have made her one of the most sough-after models in the country. And it is not just the corporate houses that are falling for her charms.

"She is easily the most sensuous rampwalker today. Yana Gupta, Jesse Randhawa, Sheetal Malhar and Gauhar Khan have sex appeal too - but Katrina is something else," exults fashion designer Manish Arora.

Katrina, who stars alongside Amitabh Bachchan, Jackie Shroff, Madhu Sapre and Padma Lakshmi in Kaizad Gustad's erotic-thriller 'Boom', is nonchalant about her bare-dare act. With a number of lingerie makers at the Fashion Week also reportedly interested in signing her, the model admits she's keeping her options open.

"What's wrong about modelling lingerie? In fact I feel there's a need to create awareness about intimate-wear products that are largely ignored by Indian women. I have been recently approached to pose for the 'Lovable' brand and may take up the offer", she says.

Katrina is willing and able to strip for success and snide comments do not affect her. "If a product requires that the model expose herself, she has no business to refuse. Come to think of it, modelling is all about exposure - if it shocks some people, too bad!" she quips.

Kateina first movie has to do a lot with skin show...just like any other top actress who shed their clothes in the initial stages of their career. As they reach their prime people forget about it.

There goes the argument that poor Katrina did Boom to support her impoverished family. Not that there's anything wrong with being confident about your body/sexuality, it's the hypocricity that baffles me.

Now she portrays herself as a untouched virgin and a champion of purity. She's playing up to what Indian males would fantasize about (ie. sexy but untouched)...had she been true to herself, I would have respected her a lot more.

I can't believe people are proud of her for refusing to wear a bikini in Dhoom 3, saying she is true to herself. If it is really what she believed in then no problem, but it's clear that it's rubish.

As if producers, directors, Chintuji, Neetuji, Salmans

parents n whole world didn't know. They ALL live in

Mumbai, remember?

😆 But she is now UP THERE. It didn't make any difference

to her success.

Top actresses put on bikini at height of their careers,

KAT was just starting out.😆 Besides, it was THAT figure n face

which caught Salman n ranbirs fancy.

Atleast she didn't/doesnt make such statements and wear(s) it when she was/is in her prime. Its sad when actresses like Kareena expose and wear bikinis when they clearly don't have to.

----------

Kareena's bikini act in Tashan was SO important and crucial to the role, as was

Minissha lambas song in the sea in KIDNAP and Esha Deols swimsuit act in kAAL,

and lil Alias swimsuit act in SOTY. These big producers n their demands!!

If a heroine puts her foot down its a big plus. Anyway, Dhoom hasn't come out, so

we don't know.
