Interview of Katrina Kaif
Katrina is the latest feeling in Bollywood. She plays a
model in Kaizad Gustad's 'Boom'. Though the movie was panned by the critics and
shunned by the audiences, it did declare that Katrina is here to stay. Katrina
newly declared that being part of 'Boom' was a mistake. Katrina talks at length
about her personal and professional life with us.
Expert comments from the interview:
Tell us Katrina recently you had said
that you were not happy by the way you were portrayed in 'Boom'?
Yes, when I signed the film I didn't know about the Indian culture
and custom. I didn't know anything about picture making and the Indian film
industry. I did not understand the repercussions of doing such a film. In UK
exposing kissing and stuff is all right but no way can this be accepted here. I
realized that your first film sets an image in the eyes of filmmakers and the
audience. And it is definitely not the role that I want to be seen in.
- But then why did you accept the
film offer. You knew that as a model in the film you will be required to expose
and wear skimpy outfits?
As I told you sensational is pretty much accepted in the English
culture. They are used to watching models in bikinis or wearing skimpy clothes
on the ramp. When the film was offered to me I was living in England. It looked
so much real then. The movie was in English. As the script went along, there
were changes. like any other professional, I just went about doing my work. I
was not aware of the Indian culture and civilization then.
- So how was it working with Amitabh
Bachchan and Jackie Shroff?
It was great. I worked with Amitabh for a only some days and he was a
thorough gentleman. I must speak that Amitabh does have this natural presence
which you feel whenever he walks into a room. It was nice working with Jackie
Shroff too.
- It was reported that due to your liaison with Salman Khan and because of your
diction, you were thrown out of Mukesh Bhatt's film Saaya?
Firstly 'thrown out' is not a word I'd like to use in this situation. It
was director Anurag Basu's decision to not have me in the cast of the film. I'm
sure he had his reasons to do so. I really don't know. But neither my diction,
nor Salman is the reason why I was not a part of the film. Mukesh and Mahesh
Bhatt are reasonable people who wouldn't sign (or not sign) actors based on such
issues. I don't think anyone can throw an actor out of a film because of his or
her personal life. I fail to realize what is my skill to act (or not act) got to
do with whom I'm seeing in my personal life? To top it all, I'm not even seeing
Salman Khan.
- What film assignments do you have on
hand?
I am gathering producers and filmmakers and the negotiations are on. I've
refused a few offers too because I was not happy with the banner. Right now I
have just got to study about the Indian culture and Indian cinema and firstly I
would like to adapt myself to it. I am taking this month off from work so that I
can learn the Hindi language. I'm learning dance too.
- Is there any truth in the rumours about
you and Salman Khan?
I don't desire to say anything on this topic. I'm here to model. I'm here to
work in films. I have completed my stand clear on that. If I divert these
questions what will come in print will look something larger than life. And I
don't what that to happen. I don't want make any comments.
- Okay, generally speaking, what kind
of guys do you like?
I know it sounds stupid but someone who is truthful and responsible. I am a
very touching and loyal person. Thus the man in my life should be reliable and
trust worthy. I want to be able to look into their eyes and know that I can rely
on them. To be honest I've only ever had one boyfriend so I'm obviously not in
any rush.
