An
ardent
Katrina
Kaif
fan,
Vinay
Radhakrishnan
writes
an
open
letter
to
his
favourite
actress.
Dear
Katrina,
I
love
watching
you
on
screen.
I
love
the
fact
that
you
hold
a
definite
grace
even
as
you
don
that
Barbie
look
perfectly
well
on
you.
I
fell
in
love
with
you
in
Namastey
London
(a
film
that
made
many
agree
that
you
had
arrived
as
an
actor).
I
was
happy
to
see
you
get
into
a
comic
zone
with
Partner.
Race
was
pulsating
and
'Zara
Zara'
still
plays
in
my
iPod.
New
York
made
me
strongly
believe
that
Namastey
London
was
not
a
flash
in
the
pan.
I
didn't
mind
your
two
scene
act
in
De
Dana
Dan
because
I
was
more
than
happy
with
Ajab
Prem
Ki
Ghazab
Kahani
and
knew
that
you
would
strike
big
with
Raajneeti.
And
then
when
Tees
Maar
Khan
came
closer
to
release,
I
knew
that
'Sheila'
would
be
worth
the
price
of
the
ticket,
something
which
did
happen
eventually.
But,
and
it
is
a
big
BUT
for
that
matter,
I
was
surprised
that
your
act
started
and
ended
with
'Sheila'.
Of
course
there
was
that
cute
'You
Dirty
Dog'
but
when
the
boys
in
the
house,
Akshay
(Kumar)
and
Akshaye
(Khanna)
were
having
all
the
fun,
didn't
you
feel
left
out?
A
few
questions
for
you
that
may
not
entice
a
response
but
I
do
expect
them
to
be
read
at
the
least:
1.
Really,
how
did
the
conversation
go
like
when
the
film
was
narrated
to
you?
Was
'Sheila'
(and
only
'Sheila')
handed
over
to
you
on
a
platter
and
told
that
this
would
be
the
start
and
end
of
it?
Was
there
a
role
per
se
other
than
the
character
definition
of
'wannabe
item
girl'
which
basically
was
summarised
in
one
dialogue
itself?
2.
Did
you
hear
'Sheila'
and
then
sign
the
film?
If
the
answer
is
'yes',
makes
sense.
After
all
any
girl
would
give
her
tooth
and
nail
(oh
ok,
now
that
doesn't
quite
make
sense
in
the
literal
terms
but
still....)
for
a
song
like
this.
However
if
the
answer
is
'no',
don't
you
feel
that
it
was
a
huge
gamble?
What
if
it
would
have
turned
out
to
be
'Tinku
Jiya'!
3.
Was
it
the
lure
of
being
seen
in
an
annual
Akshay
Kumar
starrer
that
made
you
do
the
film?
That's
because
the
screen
time
was
perhaps
just
a
little
more
than
De
Dana
Dan
while
importance
to
the
film's
plot
was
as
much
as
your
role
in
Sarkar
(yes,
I
do
remember
you
featured
in
this
Ram
Gopal
Varma
affair
though
I
am
not
sure
how
many
others
do
remember).
4.
Was
it
the
fact
that
Farah
Khan
knows
how
to
present
her
ladies
due
to
which
you
gave
your
nod
to
the
film?
But
then
Sushmita
Sen
(Main
Hoon
Naa)
and
of
course
Deepika
Padukone
(in
a
double
role
in
Om
Shanti
Om)
had
a
definite
depth
to
their
characters.
In
case
of
Tees
Maar
Khan,
did
you
say
yes
blindly
or
did
you
ask
for
a
script?
5.
Was
it
money?
Ok
sorry,
please
ignore
this
question.
'Never
ask
an
actor
the
money
that
he/she
earns',
I
am
told.
'After
all
it's
entirely
his/her
prerogative.
But
then
I
am
sure
that
in
the
time
that
you
spent
during
the
promotion
of
the
film
(good
job
done
there
Katrina),
you
could
have
well
finished
another
movie
and
also
accommodated
a
few
year-end
events/performances
and
earned
that
moolah.
6.
Was
it
actually
the
'bimbo'
act
that
excited
you
most?
Yes,
you
were
cute
there
(but
then
as
a
fan,
I
have
never
disliked
you
in
any
case)
though
I
wished
this
was
extended
further.
Also,
I
do
feel
that
after
being
in
the
business
for
7
years,
one
expected
you
to
graduate
further
ahead
from
the
bimbo
act.
7.
Or
was
it
all
actually
for
'just
some
fun'?
Was
it
because
you
wanted
a
break
of
sorts
after
spending
a
long
time
in
making
Raajneeti?
Did
you
actually
want
to
get
out
of
a
'saree'
and
wear
something
which
suited
your
age
far
more?
If
that
was
the
case,
I
am
with
you.
Makes
sense.
To
sum
it
up
all,
an
occasional
character
like
this
may
perhaps
be
okay
but
I
hope
this
was
the
last.
I
definitely
want
you
to
look
good
on
screen
(something
that
you
did
very
well
here)
but
then
I
also
expect
you
to
perform-perform
as
well.
And
by
performance,
it
is
much
more
than
just
'Sheila
Ki
Jawani'.
Meanwhile,
if
you
could
ponder
on
the
questions
above
and
respond
as
well,
at
the
least,
I
would
feel
happy
enough
to
be
heard.
Your
ardent
fan
