Katrina Kaif walked the Lakme Fashion Week

Katrina Kaif walked the Lakme Fashion Week ramp in a small pink dress, just like the one Katrina Barbie will soon be wearing. Brushing aside the buzz that Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was to be the new face of the Barbie doll, Katrina said, "As far as I know, Aishwarya was never under consideration. It was me. So I don't know where these stories came from."

So now expect a Barbie that looks just like Kat. "I'd call it a fun honour," Salman's girlfriend says.

"To have your face on dolls that you've played with from childhood is quite flattering. We've been in negotiations for nearly six months. It finally came together for the 50th year celebration of Barbie."

This could re-establish her bubbly-girl image, which she has been working hard to change. "So much for my attempts to move to a more mature level as an actor," laughed the actress. "I guess Prakash Jha's Rajneeti will take care of that. But I'm very happy being the clean and healthy Barbie."

"It is quite something, if you think about it. But I'd rather not. I don't want my head to get swollen. For me it's enough that I was chosen because I reflect a certain bubbly wholesome personality, quite contrary to the sexy tag that I get in net polls and which I'm not very comfortable with," she says.

The Katrina Barbie will be launched in September.

While Katrina Kaif will be the first Indian to become Barbie, the other stars who have walked down the road before are Beyonce Knowles, Elizabeth Taylor and Diana Ross.
