Katrina Kaif admits being in awe of Shahrukh Khan

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 12:08 PM PDT


There is no denying the fact that Katrina Kaif is one of the most sought after actress in Bollywood presently. However, the reigning queen of Bollywood admits that she gets cold feet with the thought of working along with the King Khan of Bollywood. Katrina has been paired opposite Shahrukh Khan for the first time in a romantic flick with Yash Raj Films and Katrina admits that she is in awe of the superstar. "I don't know what it is going to be like working with Shahrukh. I hear that he is someone who makes his heroines feel very comfortable. But Yash Chopra's romantic film opposite him – I'm terrified of the thought! Imagine, they say 'action' and tell me 'now swing your hair and look at him longingly'…and I'd be standing there with a blank expression!" laughs Kat. Katrina is about to complete 'Ek Tha Tiger' with Salman Khan and she will start shooting for this untitled Yash Raj films next. Katrina has no qualms about working with two rival Khans in back to back projects and says, "We all are fairly responsible individuals and we share a separate equation with each other. Sometimes it's cordial, sometimes friendly, sometimes not so friendly, but everyone should respect the other's individual equation. There is no such thing as camps or groups. Sure, there are some groups of friends. But as far as I am concerned, if you write down the names of all my co-stars, the list includes everybody, right from the Deols, Abhishek and Hrithik to Salman, Ranbir and John."

Obama's bus trip to 'connect' with Americans

Posted: 13 Aug 2011 12:00 PM PDT


While Republicans have accused Obama of mixing policy with politics by barnstorming in the battleground region ahead of the 2012 elections, White House say it was a chance for the president to hit the reset button and connect with ordinary Americans after the political logjam over raising the nation's debt ceiling. "Democrats, independents and Republicans expect to see their president of the United States outside of Washington, DC, out from behind the podium, spending time talking to the American people in their communities," White House spokesman Josh Earnest said Friday. Without a direction mention of Republicans, Obama this week blamed the Congress for the bitterness that led to an eleventh-hour debt limit agreement, and Earnest said the president was expecting to hear more anger on the road. "The president does anticipate that he'll detect a little frustration about the dysfunction in Congress, and the strident position of some in Congress to put their partisan affiliation ahead of the country," he said. Obama will be travelling to Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois, three states he won in 2008 but that saw Republican gains last year. He needs to win them again states next year to return to the White House for a second term. "I anticipate that there will be some people who are supporters of the president, who voted for him last time, who will have some questions for him about the compromises that he was willing to make," Earnest said. "But that is something that the president believes is an important part of leadership ... moving off our maximalist positions and demonstrating a willingness to compromise."
