Oh boy, to say that this is unbelievable would be an understatement. The beauty with oodles of attitude Katrina Kaif can play chess. Says who? Well, not Katrina K, but actor Aamir Khan.

Recently Aamir K was invited to a local chess competition where he was asked whether he’d played the brainy board game with any of his Bollywood co-actors. He said he’d played with a few, including Katrina K. Not just that, according to the actor, she is quite good at it. And you thought she was just a good looking gal with an unenviable IQ. Wait for a moment though. Does Aamir K know how to play chess?
