biggest hits like "Namastey London",
"Dhoom 3" and "Ek Tha Tiger", but her last
few films, including "Baar Baar Dekho" and
"Jagga Jasoos", didn't get an impressive
response at the box office. But actress
Katrina Kaif says she is "extremely happy
and satisfied with the kind of films" she is
doing.
"I really enjoy my work," the actress, told
IANS when asked if she misses finding some
free time amidst so many films and
endorsement deals.
"I am very driven and focused on what I
want to do. I am extremely happy and
satisfied with the kind of films I am doing,
getting to work with people who I enjoy
working with, learning from new people. It
is the same with brands too. It's not just
about showing up on sets but being a part
of the behind-the-scenes interactions as
well. So, I enjoy my job," added the actress.
The actress made her film debut in the 2003
erotic heist film "Boom", which bombed at
the box office. Her initial success in
Bollywood happened when she appeared
opposite Salman Khan in David Dhawan's
romantic comedy "Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?"
and her success story continued with films
like "Partner", "Welcome", "Race" and "Singh
Is Kinng".
However, her previous few films didn't do
great business at the box office in spite of
being creative and different in terms of
storyline.
But the actress is positive.
"With every film, you try and make sure that
you are learning. And if there is ever a point
when you are distracted, maybe you
question yourself -- 'Why? What is
happening here? Where am I going wrong?
How do I push myself?'," said the 34-year-
old.
She said everyone goes through a phase
where they are extremely inspired and then
there are times when they feel stagnant.
"(But the idea is to) keep pushing yourself.
Try and reinvent and make sure you are
doing something new."
Katrina has played characters that many girls
relate with in real life, but is there any dream
role that she wants to portray on the big
screen?
"For me, every script is a new journey and
when the script comes to you, you get
excited by that vision. It's something that
has to come on its own."
It's not just films but the actress is also
grabbing eyeballs for her friendship with
contemporaries -- whether it is sharing a
comfortable moment with Anushka Sharma
at filmmaker Karan Johar's chat show or
posting photographs of a gym session with
Alia Bhatt.
Asked if the concept of rivalry and catfights
is passe in Bollywood, she said: "Actors have
always been like that. There are always
some people with whom you get along
really well, while there are some you don't
know so well. It's more visible and open
now because of the social media.
"We are more accessible to media (now) but
friendships have always been there."
The actress is currently busy shooting for
"Tiger Zinda Hai" and "Thugs of Hindustan".
However, she refused to comment on the
status of her films.
