As the New Year approaches, the December 31 parties are what everyone is waiting for. The list of performers is endless but the organisers want only the best. Perhaps this is why they approached Bollywood`s hottest import Katrina Kaif with a sum of Rs 2 crore. However, much to their disappointment, she declined.

But all those eager to get a glimpse of the sizzling nights in the bitter cold may take some relief as Poonam Pandey is the preferred option. According to reports, the ‘Bold Babe of Twitter’ has been approached with a sum of a whooping Rs 2 crore. For now, she has not accepted any offers saying that her family is with whom she`ll usher in the first day of 2012.

Even if she doesn`t accept the offer, Rs 2 crore is what speaks volumes about the demand of the model whose claim to fame was her declaration of stripping down if India won the World Cup. Poonam is a regular on Twitter where she posts some of her racy images for her `millions` of fans to see. Katrina is an A-list Bollywood actress who has starred in some blockbusters and has also proven her mettle as a decent actress. This means that for the sponsors and organisers a top Bollywood actress and a dare bare model are on the same pedestal. That may be good news for Poonam but not for Katrina.
