In the aftermath of 9/11, more than 1,200 men, many of South Asian descent, were detained by U.S. authorities, according to the ACLU. Of these, more than 1,000 were released months and years later for lack of evidence.

Kabir Khan’s brisk if formulaic thriller, “New York,” takes a fictional look at the damaged lives of two such men and stands a good chance of earning respectable box-office numbers. Released Friday (June 26), it’s the first big Hindi film since Bollywood’s recently ended two-month strike.

Despite being constantly voted sexiest no.1 by her fans by an international magazine, Katrina Kaif insists she is not sexy. “It feels good to be voted for by my fans and that too in such huge numbers, but I don’t think if you wear a bikini or show skin, you look sexy,” she says, “I would rather say I’m pretty.”

Apparently confounding her own comments, Katrina looked startling at the Audi Q5 Launch Party at the India Bulls centre in South Mumbai. Wearing an off-the-shoulder blue tiered body-hugging dress with crisp black belt and shoes, she probably frustrated the organisers by constantly dragging people’s attention away from the car.

Katrina Kaif looked angelic in a white glittery draped dress at the launch of Spice Entertainment, a new venture of the Spice group, at Hotel Trident.

The Spice mobile ambassador’s empire waist dress had cap sleeves, revealing scoop neckline and a veil cascading down her back.

Katrina, 24, accessorized with pearl chandelier earrings. Her gorgeous long hair, styled in loose curls, draped her right shoulder. She wore pearl pink lip color, pink lip gloss, black eyeliner and sweeps of mascara.

The event featured a fashion show by celebrity designer Suneet Verma for which Kangana Ranaut was the show stopper!
