On January 22, a 15-day leopard cub was spotted in Devankhedi village near Bhopal and rescued by a team from the national park Van Vihar.

Apparently, the villagers named the cub Katrina because they felt that she was “beautiful and silky like Katrina Kaif.”

On Thursday, Katrina learnt about this and she made enquiries with Van Vihar, saying that she wanted to adopt the leopard. When contacted, Van Vihar’s assistant director AK Khare said Katrina Kaif had indeed expressed a desire to adopt the rescued animal.

“On Friday afternoon, Katrina’s assistant called me saying that she was willing to adopt that leopard. It would be great if she does. However, let me clarify that the leopard cub, which Katrina Kaif is ready to adopt, is spelt as Catreena, not Katrina. At this point of time, the animal is housed in our zoo.”

Explaining what Katrina Kaif would require to do for the process of adoption, Khare said, “We have different rates for different animals. Katrina will have to pay Rs 50,000 annually. I have yet to hear from them, but I have informed them of the entire procedure. Besides paying Rs 50,000 per year for the leopard, Katrina will also have to fill up a form and duly sign it.”
