Royal Challengers loose Katrina Kaif
Mumbai: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif's association with busines honcho Vijay Mallya's cricket team goes back a long way, as she was the face of the team in the first two seasons. But now buzz is that the actress has backed out of the contract citing date troubles and will no longer be the brand ambassador for the team in the third and the fourth season.
According to a source, Kaif has opted out since she feels that there will be a clash of interests between her films and sports commitments during the time of the matches. 'Katrina will be shooting in Agra for Mere Brother Ki Dulhan during the games and will not be able to make her appearances to support the team. She is a thorough professional, and since she feels that she will not do justice to her responsibility towards the team, she has decided to step down as the ambassador,' said the source.
Incidentally, Kaif's an avid cricket buff and is even known to indulge in the sport during her break in shoots. Most recently, the actress was reportedly even playing the game with Salman Khan on the sets of his reality show and later on the sets of her film that also stars Imran Khan. And an insider insists, 'she's very good at the game too!'
