Katrina Kaif has been named "Newsmaker of the Year" after topping the chart of internet searches compiled by Yahoo! India.

According to the findings, Kaif surpassed politicians and sports stars as the most searched for term in India.
The actress was said to have topped the list for both "professional and personal reasons" according to the review, on account of acclaimed performances in films like Rajneeti, as well as her breakup from Salman Khan and alleged romance with Ranbir Kapoor making headline news.
