There is no denying the fact that Katrina Kaif is among the most
sought after actresses in Bollywood today. After all, in the recent
past, Katrina has been part of many-a-hit films like Partner,
Namastey London, Welcome, Singh Is Kinng to name a few. Now the
gorgeous actress has added not just one but two special feathers to
her already impressive cap.Last week, Katrina was voted the
‘Sexiest Asian Woman’ for the year 2008 in a poll conducted by
Eastern Eye, a well read publication in the U.K. Last year’s winner
Bipasha Basu has now been pushed to the second spot. Just as
accolades started pouring in for this feat, Katrina was in for yet
another piece of good news.
Katrina features among the Top 10 in 3 different categories in
Google’s 2008 India Zeitgeist lists, a compilation of most searched
terms on the internet released every year. While Katrina tops the
‘Most Popular Bollywood Celebrity’ category, she figures at No.3 in
the ‘Fast Rising Searches’ category and at No.10 in the ‘Most
Popular Searches’ category. In fact she is the only ‘person’ to
feature in the Top 10 ‘Most Popular Searches’ category which
otherwise features topics as diverse as Cricket to Indian
Railways.
A source close to Katrina said, “Katrina’s popularity is catching
up with the masses in a big way. People are mesmerized by her
beauty. Several of her fans have kept Kats’ pics as screensavers
and wallpapers. Her smile, they say, is like an oasis in a desert.
It helps them feel relaxed when they feel down at work.”
Katrina obviously is thrilled at this turn of developments. “I have
to thank my fans for their constant love and support. I just don’t
know what else to say. Frankly I’m overwhelmed.”
