Katrina Kaif opts out of her lucrative New Year jig!

A few days back, there were reports that Bollywood’s delicate darling Katrina Kaif had bagged a 2 crore deal for shaking a leg on the New Year’s Eve. But according to the latest news, the actress won’t be able to perform this time due to her ill health.Katrina, who is suffering from a bad health condition, has reportedly been advised to refrain from any form of strenuous activity for the next few weeks.

So, the actress had to cancel several commitments including her New Year bash, which apparently would have involved extensive physical strain. Kat says, “It is with great regret that I have had to opt out of performing this New Year’s Eve due to health reasons. I am sorry for the disappointment caused to the hotel’s guests and my fans.”

Nevertheless, to make up for it, the hotel has reportedly roped in another hot damsel – Bipasha Basu. This super-fit dusky charmer has agreed (very willingly) to cash in on Kat’s loss. The amount Bips would be adding to her swelling bank balance through this gig is undisclosed, but it has been hinted that she would, of course, not agree to any menial sum – what with the standard already set by Kat’s 2 crore agreement.

So, both Bipasha and her fans are ecstatic about the whole situation. She would be seen tantalising her admirers through a seductive dance show on the eventful evening of December 31st this happening winter!
