She has got the Midas touch say industrywallahs as she’s seen more hits than misses. Something not many of her contemporaries can boast of. For a slow starter, actor Katrina Kaif’s done pretty well for herself and is considered one of the most popular heroines in the country today.
This year, the actress will be seen not just with her good friend Salman Khan on the big screen, but also the other Khans —Aamir and Shah Rukh. A feat that only actor Kareena Kapoor has been able to boast of, of late.
Ask Katrina what it feels like to be working with all the three Khans and she says, “I am very fortunate that I get to work with the best film makers and actors in film industry today… It is also nice to know that my hard work and performances have been appreciated leading to some of the most exciting projects today.”
We prod her further to talk about each of them, and the one thing that she’s learned from the three Khans.
“I have worked with Salman in quite a few films and have learnt a lot from him since the beginning of my career. Aamir is known to be a perfectionist and I am looking forward to working with him in Dhoom 3,” she says. And SRK? “The film with Shah Rukh is also very special as it is not only my first film with him, but also with Mr. Yash Chopra who is the true king of romance. I admire the sheer energy, hard work and passion Shah Rukh puts in his work,” says Kat.
The actor’s song appearances are as much talked about as her flms. The most recent song that apparently had audiences dancing in the aisles of theatres is Chikni Chameli for film Agneepath.
Buzz is, the song apparently eclipsed the film’s leading lady Priyanka Chopra. Ask her about it and she’s quick to add, “I have tried to do my best for all my roles, songs and cameos; and it is nice to get appreciated for your hard work. Every actor has his/her own contribution to the film and if the film works, then it benefits all. So I don’t see any reason for this kind of tension between two professionals as everyone is clear about their parts in a project.”
How does it feel to be called one of the numero uno heroines of the industry? “I don’t believe in numbers,” dismisses Katrina. “I think to bring out the best in your work, you should compete only with yourself. I like the work I am doing whether it is my movies or endorsements. Also, the days of number one spot wars are gone; each actor manages his/her career in a different way,” she adds.
Finally, we ask her if she’s worried about the health issues plaguing her rumoured ex flame Salman, “His health issues are a matter of the past now and he has been perfectly fine for the last few months and is quite fit now,” says Kat who’s shooting with the actor in Cuba for the film Ek Tha Tiger.
