Katrina Kaif

He may be the cricket legend, but Sachin Tendulkar will have to bow down to beauty because the Bollywood sensation Katrina Kaif yet again topped the list of the sexiest women 2011 with her average rating being higher than that of Sachin.

The poll was conducted by the world's largest men's lifestyle magazine – FHM. "Katrina's average is higher than Sachin Tendulkar's and she replaces Deepika Padukone who won the crown in 2010," says Kabeer Sharma, executive director, FHM, India. The FHM 100 Sexiest Women poll is based entirely on online polls and SMS with over 35,000 entries being cast this year.

Katrina's stolen SUV found

Actress Katrina Kaif’s gift to her hairstylist Promila Hunter which was burglarized from Mumbai two years ago will be back in her possession soon.

Mahindra Scorpio worth Rs 8 Lakhs which was burglarized two years ago from the parking area of Kat's hairstylist turned producer Promila Hunter’s Poonam Nagar home in Andheri was finally traced by Mumbai Police at Chandigarh.

The SUV has finally been cleared by the Addl. District and Session Judge Ferozepur (Fast & Track Court) in Punjab after the Police had filed for return of property.

It was a token of appreciation by Katrina to her hairstylist who has been associated with the siren since the beginning of her film career in Bollywood.

“Promila didi was very emotionally attached with the gift given by Katrina to her. She was overwhelmed after the vehicle was found and we are likely to fly to Chandigarh to get the possession of the vehicle in coming week,” said Nagma Khan, the Executive Producer of Promila’s film production.

“Katrina is a gem of a person and she was ecstatic after I informed her about the recovery of the vehicle,” concludes Promila.

Sources say, recently Katrina got to know about the stolen gift and assisted Promila in further purchasing another SUV Mahindra Xylo.

Promila is set to release her animated film 'Main Krishna Hoon', which also features Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in a cameo.

Actress Katrina Kaif may be known for her sex appeal on the big screen and off it too, but the actress simply refuses to believe that she is sexy! Not that she doesn’t enjoy the attention showered on her, only recently she was voted as the sexiest woman alive by a men’s magazine, yet again. But Katrina says that the title has left her speechless. “Honestly, I don’t find myself sexy! It’s a great honour to be appreciated by so many people. I just don’t know what else to say,” she laughs.

So, is it difficult to live up to the pressure of being sexy? Ask her how she copes with the tag and Kat says that all this adulation is a new thing to her, so she prefers to live in the past instead. “You know, when I was growing up, I was always the girl-next-door. So it’s difficult to think and imagine myself to be sexy. I’m me at all times, so there’s no pressure, really,” she explains.

Interestingly, though Katrina’s fans seem to put her in the sexy bracket, especially after her hit item number Sheila ki Jawani, her colleagues seem to reveal a different side to her. Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, who has directed her in the upcoming Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara had said that Katrina has a tomboyish side to her that very few people know of. Actor Imran Khan who is acting with her in Mere Brother ki Dulhan says that Katrina is like his “buddy” and that she is a very carefree person while on the sets.

In fact, Katrina, who was in her teens when she started out in Bollywood, says that she considers actor Madhuri Dixit to have “amazing sex appeal.” Madhuri, who now took a sabbatical from films to raise a family, now shuffles her time between Denver and Mumbai for occasional assignments. Says Katrina, “I’ve always been a huge Madhuri Dixit fan. The biggest plus point is that she is so down to earth. I’d have to say that Madhuri is the ‘most sexy’ from Bollywood.”
