Did Katrina Kaif approach Shahid Kapur's dad for Mausam?

Did Katrina Kaif approach Shahid Kapur's dad for Mausam?

Actress Katrina Kaif’s kitty may be bulging with interesting projects, but seems like the actress did miss out on one film that she was initially rather interested in doing. Or at least that’s what the buzz doing the rounds in B-Town claim. The film in question happens to be veteran actor Pankaj Kapur’s directorial venture Mausam and the role eventually went to actress Sonam Kapoor.

The flick that also stars actor Shahid Kapoor is now almost nearing completion. However, insiders claim that it was Kaif who was initially keen to play Shahid’s love interest, much before Kapoor was even cast in the film. In fact, the source even insist that the star had sent several messages to Shahid and dad Pankaj indicating an interest in the film. “Katrina had sent out a few messages showing an interest in the film. She had even approached Kapur on several occasions to cast her in his directorial debut. However, due to certain reasons, it could not be taken further and Sonam was cast instead,” said the source.

Interestingly, sources close to Kaif have a different story to tell. A close friend of the star insists that in fact it was Kaif who was first approached for the role. “The filmmakers had approached Katrina, but without a bound script. They wanted to know if Kat could give them bulk dates, but without reading the script she refused to make any commitment. Besides, it was impossible to give away those dates as they were already allocated to other projects,” says the source. “Katrina still has great respect for the director and would love to work with him someday provided she knows what her role will be,” the source added.

Apparently, during the casting of the film, Kaif was already being considered a strong contender for Kapoor’s role with buzz about the how the pair would look on screen being discussed as well.

However, the role landed in Kapoor’s lap. Incidentally, Kapoor and Kaif are said to not get along too well either, thanks to their common good friend Ranbir Kapoor.

Shahid Kapoor features in new vegetarian ad for PETA

Shahid Kapoor features in new vegetarian ad for PETA
By Bollywood Hungama News Network, April 11, 2011 - 17:05 IST


The enormously popular model-turned-actor Shahid Kapoor stars in an adorable new ad campaign for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) India extolling one of the many benefits of a plant-based diet: "Chicks Love a Vegetarian". The ad, shot by ace photographer Atul Kasbekar, shows a casually dressed Kapoor with two downy yellow chicks perched on his body.

Kapoor says, "I love chicks… pigs, cows, fish, and all the other animals too. That's why I turned vegetarian."

Kapoor who won PETA India's Sexiest Vegetarian contest in 2009 received the 2003 Filmfare Award for a debut film for his appearance in his Ishq Vishk. His recent films - Jab We Met, Kaminey, Badmaash Company, and Paathshaala - have all been hits.


In India, animals who are killed for food are crammed into vehicles for slaughter in such high numbers that many animals break their bones, suffocate or die en route. At abattoirs, workers often hack at the throats of goats, sheep and other animals with dull blades. Millions of chickens spend their entire lives in huge factory warehouses packed together so closely in tiny battery cages they cannot even stretch a wing. They stand in their own accumulated waste, which reeks of ammonia. The birds never see the light of day and are denied everything that is natural and important to them.

Meat production is also disastrous for the environment. Senior UN Food and Agriculture Organisation official Henning Steinfeld stated that the meat industry is "one of the most significant contributors to today's most serious environmental problems". Nitrous oxide is about 300 times more potent as a global-warming gas than carbon dioxide. According to the UN, the meat, egg and dairy industries account for 65 per cent of worldwide nitrous-oxide emissions.

What's more is that India has one of the highest rates of heart disease and diabetes in the world. Studies show that consumption of animal products is directly connected to cardiovascular disease, stroke, certain cancers, obesity and diabetes. For this reason alone, millions of people choose to go vegetarian.

"I am very happy being a vegetarian and I believe that it is the best way to be," says Kapoor. "The day I started believing in the fact that I would want not to kill animals for my taste buds that is the day everything changed for me."
