Katrina will never work with him…

Well, in case you’re wondering, he’s certainly not Shahrukh Khan. He’s not even Shahid Kapur, another star who doesn’t share warm vibes with Salman Khan. So, who’s the male actor Katrina Kaif has vowed never to work with. Not hard to guess, it’s Vivek Oberoi, the man who’s not in Salman’s good books even after having expressed his regret umpteen times over the impulsively-called press conference to publicly “expose” Salman in 2003, after the latter called him repeatedly and allegedly threatened him over having an affair with Aishwarya Rai. “I would not work with Vivek anyway,” Katrina told reporters when asked about a recent interview in which Salman had spoken about not interfering in Katrina’s career. Salman had said he doesn’t mind Katrina working with anyone in the industry “except one idiot”. The star hadn’t named who that “idiot” was, but now Katrina has left nothing to imagination. Sorry, Vivek!

Katrina snatches another deal from Aishwarya

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Bachchan may not have come out of the pain of loosing the Nakshatra jewellery endorsement deal to Katrina Kaif last year. but now the New York actress has snatched another endorsement deal from her. A soap that the former Miss World endorses wants Katrina to sign up for their upcoming campaign. A well placed sources confirmed that the company is already in talks with Katrina but the deal with the actress hasn't been finalised yet.

If that was not enough a reputed watch company which has Aishwarya on board for endorsing its products is in talks with Katrina as well. Earlier in the year Mattel Toys India Pvt. Ltd. had made Katrina the face of Indian barbie doll during the Lakme Fashion Week. This after the company had almost finalised the deal with Aishwarya Bachchan. So when the soap giant thought about dumping Aishwarya it did not surprise many.

Analysts believe Aishwarya who is the wrong side of 30 is slowly loosing her appeal over the younger girls. When L'Oreal hired Sonam Kapoor to endorse its product it was evident that Aishwarya's brand value had certainly taken a hit. Sonam made matters worse for the actress when she stated that she was youth face of the product while Aishwarya would appeal to the older women. Ash did not take this lightly and made sure Sonam's red carpet walk at Cannes was cancelled.
