Katrina Kaifs decade in Bollywood

Katrina Kaif's decade in Bollywood

Taking a nostalgic walk down the memory lane, the actress expresses satisfaction with her current state of affairs

Katrina Kaif will be completing ten years in Bollywood. Having debuted with Boom' in 2003 and now with her action-packed role in Dhoom 3', the actress is satisfied with her current state of affairs.

"I have no time to look back. I am asked often about my journey in the film industry but the fact is that I have no time to look back. Everything is moving so fast that I am unable to even know as to what's happening. My focus is on the future at the moment," shares Katrina.
Having learnt so much from every film she shares, "Definitely, I have learnt so much from every film of mine. Having worked with Akshay (Kumar) for the first time in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye', I came to realise as to how emotions have to be portrayed onto the silver screen. While in Partner' and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya', Govinda and Salman starrer films, I learnt the importance of comedy and being spontaneous while delivering dialogues in the scenes. Namastey London' saw me in an important character for the first time." And continued, "Also, with Race', it was for the first time I developed great confidence while performing in front of the camera. Here I realised that if I work hard, I can perform and dance exuberantly. Earlier while performing dance numbers I would get nervous, which is not the same now. By the time I did Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' and Mere Brother Ki Dulhan', I turned very comfortable with acting. However, with Jab Tak Hai Jaan' and Ek Tha Tiger', I got different star image. With Dhoom 3', I have tried my hand at performing stunts too, helping me reach a different level."
Katrina shares her hunger for fans' love and says, "I really feel happy when I come to know that I have a lot of male as well as female fans who crave to follow me. Especially, when girls and wives want to impress their better halves by looking like me. More than money and fame, I would crave for the love and respect of people! As an actor I have learnt to be disciplined and yes, I can vouch for my hard work. I never leave any stone unturned to put in my sincere and full efforts. I never like to give a chance to anyone to feel that I am shirking work. If any character that I play needs improvement, I take it seriously until I succeed in giving it the best."
Talking about being lucky to work with the three top Khans, she shares, "I am lucky to have worked with all the three Khans (Salman, Aamir and Shah Rukh). All three have a very powerful personality. All of them have worked hard to attain this position. They are still ruling the roost and to maintain this position they have to keep working harder. I share a different rapport with all three of them. Salman has seen me grow hence I feel most comfortable with him. He is one of the most important persons in my life."
"I am very content with whatever God has bestowed upon me. I do not crave for the number one position because if you lose it, at that point you may feel disheartened. So, I believe in working hard and putting in my best and leaving the rest to God," shares the actress about her simple philosophy in life.
