Katrina not involved in social networking sites:

While every top famous star - like Shahrukh Khan, Salman Khan, Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan- is on Twitter or Facebook, but there are a few exceptions that Katrina Kaif is one of those who aren't start an account on these famous social networking sites yet. User of social networking sites will be surprised to know that because they already saw Katrina Kaif accounts on both Facebook and Twitter, the fact is, the accounts are false.

Katrina Kaif says "I don't understand this. Aren't stars imaginary to be exclusive? Or should they be so accessible that everything in their life should be out in the open? From what they eat to what they drink to what they wear… I can't bring myself to this. That's the reason why I am not on Facebook or Twitter. Why would people spend money to watch stars on screen, when anyone and everybody could attach with them so easily?"

While Katrina is allowed to her view and stance and one must respect it, you cannot deny the fact that stars do need a platform to air their views. At the same time, it's vital to draw a line and not get too personal, like some celebrities really do. Source: Newspaper
