Ali Zafar jumps to Katrina's rescue

Ali Zafar jumps in to save Katrina when her hair got stuck in a pedestal fan on the set.

Express October 19, 2010

Pakistani musician turned actor Ali Zafar has saved the day by coming to Bollywood siren Katrina Kaif’s rescue during shooting of romantic comedy Meray Brother Ki Dulhan.

Talking to Express 24/7, Ali said he jumped in to save Katrina when her hair got stuck in a pedestal fan on the set. His heroic act prevented Katrina from losing her hair.

Ali’s heroics have redeemed his first meeting with Katrina, where he failed to recognise her. But Katrina reportedly reacted politely and introduced herself to Ali.

It also seems Ali has won over Indian hearts after he gifted a stranger his lucky guitar.

The story goes that a stranger would come to the studios every day to watch the shooting, and Ali found out that the boy was a struggling musician.

Ali presented his lucky guitar to the stranger and wished him luck for the future.

shoaib ali | 14 years ago | Reply He did well. i don't know when it comes to Pakistani & Indian actors/singers,why we start fighting. we should admit the fact that it was one country.We have similar language,culture and many other things then why we always fight to prove ourselves better then other?why we can't be like Gulf Countries& Europe? why do we need to so many formalities to meet each other? when the day will come when a Pakistani or Indian citizen can travel from Bombay to K2 or from Khyber to Lal Qila with only his passport? Hope for the best.May Allah help us all.Aamen

Rana Amjad | 14 years ago | Reply Ali, you are a human being first therefore please do not fall into the trap of Indian Pakistani as mentioned by some! You are doing a fantastic job & continue doing it! Artists do not have any religions they believe in humanity like Bullah Shah & other Saints. Talk & work about Peace & Brotherhood. God bless you!

Nadeem Arif | 14 years ago | Reply Good Job! Ali.You are the real hero as you have rescued Kat in reality not like other filmy heroes who do that in Movies.

Zohra Nishan | 14 years ago | Reply Hey Girls, have you noticed how all the MALES are threatened by ALI !!! One ostracizes him as not being Pakistani enough the other claims that he will forget Pakistan when he becomes rich and famous. The PROBLEM with the Pakistani male is that they tend to surface their insecurities when there is a good looking...hunk...eye candy...boy toy.....like ALI ZAFAR who make the females all over the world weak at the knees! So to compensate fpr their insecurities they try to bash him while Ali is laughing all the way to the bank. My friends in the business in Hollywood are telling me that its just a matter of time before Hollywood comes knocking at the door for ALI ! Clint Eastwood has a project in the works that he intends to use Ali Jafar and Angelina Jolie but there a some nude scenes where the recently married Ali might have issues with but

girls all over the world are holding their breath.....

Giri | 14 years ago | Reply Wait a minute..Don't declare victory soon about Ali being a Pakistani..Once he gets few movies, he may as well forget where he came from and call him self a Bombay wala a la Adnan Sami.. Isn't it correct that Pakistanis hate Adnan because he never calls himself a proud Pakistani? Just a thought..

Mohammed Abbasi | 14 years ago | Reply Good man! The real diplomats and leaders are the people of India and Pakistan and people like Ali Zafar and the Two Tennis players show us the way forward

sarah | 14 years ago | Reply just one question ali, how could you not recognise katrina? couldnt you see that hurricane approach you?

sarah | 14 years ago | Reply just one question ali, how could you not recognise katrina? couldnt you see that hurrican approach you? :)

Bushra Siddiqui | 14 years ago | Reply @Muhammad Sajid _ Isnt it amazing you always get a critic like you what Ali Zafar did in the above instances was spontaneous probably a trait you do not have. His two acts of kindness will probably do more to help the bonds of friendship between Pakistan & India Here @Muhammad Sajid is an example of what Ali Zafar did and there are probably more examples if you took time from your schedule to google

Hadiqa Kiani and Ali Zafar were two of the many public figures/celebrities to make an appearance on Pukaar on Geo to urge their fans to donate as much as they can to the Pukaar MKRF ( Mir Khalil Ur Rehman fund) for the flood victims.

We have a trend in Pakistan that is disturbing, a small group of people who would just like to tear down people's achievements and would love to glorify in their downfall and you @Muhammad Sajid seem to belong in that crowd

Waqas Ahmed | 14 years ago | Reply Ali zafar is a nice guy

Lily | 14 years ago | Reply Ali doesn't need to impress anyone....he already has enough of everything..and in reply of "he should have done some thing for his nation"...For your information he did..he made many paintings(he is a great artist) and put them on auction and money goes toward those homeless people...also he goes to places and stands as a support for manyyy..And this news is surely worthy of being published, because this is very entertaining fact, and we all need entertainment in our lives....otherwise you wouldn't be wasting your time here.. And Love You Ali :)

Naqash | 14 years ago | Reply He is awesum man having lot of love in his heart....he deserve to b a Super star which he is

Muhammad Sajid | 14 years ago | Reply It is strange that Ali Zafar would hand over his "Lucky Guitar" to an indian stranger and has done his best to save Katrina's hair but he has not bothered about two million people stranded homeless in the recent floods. He would have better served his nation by doing some shows and donating the money to them.
