Hot-Katrina-Kaif1

Bollywood’s barbie doll, Katrina Kaif, is not just beautiful by her looks, the actress has an unfolded religious side to her which lends her a purity of heart, rarely seen in star struck celebrities. Recently, the actress took some time off from the hectic shooting schedule of Yash Raj’s ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan,’ which is being shot in Chandigarh, Dehradun, and Mussourie, and headed to Haridwar for a holy dip in the river Ganga.

Rumor has it that Kaif’s visit to the holy shrine was kept a secret affair while she traveled with her personal entourage to avoid any security hassles. Katrina takes a holy dip in Ganga Reportedly, the ‘Raajneeti’ star chose to visit the banks of the river in the late evening to avoid any kind of unwanted attention.

A source close to the unit revealed, "Kat was planning to visit Haridwar for a long time. But she couldn’t take time off from shooting."“Since she was shooting for Yash Raj Films’ Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in North India, she decided it would be the best time to visit the holy place."Buzz has it, the actress went to one of the ghats for the holy dip and later had the darshan of a deity in a temple.

Dressed in a salwar-kameez with her head and face covered with a dupatta, the actress even took blessings from the priest, who then suggested her to participate in the maha aarti, held in the evening on the ghats by scores of priests together. "She’s a spiritual person and keeps that side of her private. The local pujari suggested she come back to Haridwar in the near future and also participate in a maha aarti to which she readily agreed," the source added.

Katrina, who has earlier been to pious places of worship like Shirdi, the Golden Temple, and the Ajmer Sharif dargah, is of a religious mindset and tries to visit sacred spaces in vicinity, whenever possible.

Imran braves 16 slaps from Katrina
When it comes to acting, Imran Khan sure idealizes mamu, Aamir, which is why the actor braved 16 slaps to get an emotional scene perfect in the film, ‘Mere Brother Ki Dulhan’.

The scene required Katrina to hit him hard on face which she did lightly. Though the actress smacked him a fake one, he insisted on a real, cheek-flushing slap.

The actor even called a spot boy to count the number of slaps. According to him, the ‘logic’ behind it was that on the editing table, the director can choose the best among the various slaps.


Confirming this to a tabloid, Kat was quoted as saying, “Left to me, I’d have done just one fake slap and moved on. But Imran insisted that I do it realistically,” and claimed that this is one of the most authentic screen slap audiences would get to see.
