Is Katrina Kaif The Number One Bollywood Heroine?

Defining the number one position in the Hindi film industry is very tough. And deciding who that coveted position should go to is tougher still, especially among the actresses.

For a while now, we don't have a heroine in Bollywood who can claim to be the unquestionable numero uno.

Many come close. Kareena Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Priyanka Chopra and Aishwarya Rai are among the most popular.

But who among them is number one?

Yet, as far as box-office success goes, we seem to have a winner. Out of the five recent releases, Katrina Kaif has had four hits in Namastey London, Partner, Welcome and Race.

Who Is Bollywood's Hottest Cover Girl?

Don't judge a book by its cover, they say. That certainly doesn't hold true as far as fashion or film magazines go.

The sheer ability to attract a reader with unabashed glamour wearing its face is where a glossy's appeal lie anyway. You can also measure a star's (superficial) success by the number of magazine covers he or she bags.

Lately, with international magazines like Vogue hitting the Indian scene, celebrity covers, photo-shopped or not, have never looked better.

Katrina Kaif is floored by Hrithik Roshan

Well, actress Katrina Kaif may not have featured in any of the power lists of reputed film magazines, for the year 2007, but the actual paying audience thinks otherwise. She is the most successful actress of the last year, with not one or two but four big successes under her belt, namely, Namastey London, Partner, Apne and Welcome. Out of the four, PARTNER and WELCOME were blockbuster hits while Namastey London was a major solo hit that redefined her career.

With her kitty full of many exciting new ventures, it will be interesting to know what more the pretty lass wants from Bollywood. Well, earlier this week, while speaking to the print media in Bombay, Katrina disclosed that after watching the superhero Hrithik Roshan's amazing, royal Akbar act in Jodhaa Akbar, she is highly impressed with him. She also expressed her keen desire to pair up with the hunk. In fact, Katrina asserts that any proposal with Hrithik will get her yes immediately.

Interesting, one must say. Are the makers and in particular Rakesh and Hrithik Roshan listening, especially with the Krrish sequel coming up.
