She's been on a roll of late but a nearly exhausted Katrina Kaif tells Shubha Shetty Saha that she still hasn't found time for rest. Good films, great money has been driving stars from one set to another ? often in different countries.The flip side of success is definitely overwork. Some time ago Kareena Kapoor had confessed to After Hours that she's been left with absolutely no time for her personal life, and now it's Katrina Kaif's turn to signal a time out. "I have been working reall! ! y hard. You know how it is, when your film is just about to release (Yuvvraj).
Apart from shooting you also get busy with the publicity bit," she says, ruing the fact that sleeping for a decent eight hour has become an elusive luxury. "I really need a good night's rest," sighed Katrina kaif talking to us late in the night. "But no regrets really. Right now, work is fabulous. I think as a young girl, it's alright to work as hard as possible. What time I get for myself is more than enough. This kind of work comes to you perhaps once in your life and it is best to take advantage of it," she says sagely.
But that said, Katrina kaif also admits that the recent hits she has delivered have also burdened her with so many expectations. "I can feel the pressure sometimes. But I tell myself that I cannot let these things affect me. I just need to be really happy because God has been except! ion! ally kind to me and I have had such wonderful people to ! work w! ith."
However, she knows that the films releasing in 2009 will present a totally different side to her. "I have been more or less doing the same kind of roles till now. But next year I will be seen in films by Rajkumar Santoshi and Prakash Jha besides a Yashraj film (working title New York)."Jha's film has a very realistic role for me and it will be a refreshing change from what I have already done.
I don't want to stagnate, but at the same time I know that my commercial roles have worked for me. My glam roles have gone down very well with people and I will continue doing them. I absolutely loved dancing in films like Singgh is King and I am not going to give up those kind of roles up for anything," she says.
Katrina Kaif refuses to work with Salman's jaani dushman Viveik!
Salman's ladylove Katrina Kaif is packed with new releases and much to everyone's surprise, she has readily agreed to work with Salman's friend turned foe Shah Rukh Khan. But, she does have some exceptions. The long-legged beauty had recently sternly refused to work with Sallu's jaani dushman Viveik Oberoi.Well, so what's weird is the 'fact' that the reason of all the hullabaloo, chaos is none other than Sallu's ex-flame, the Bachchan bahu Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. So it seems, Katrina kaif did really seek permission prior to nodding a 'yes' for the SRK project.
And, this is what Kats h! ad to say in! an interview to a news daily, "See, whatever h! appened was bet! ween the two of them. I wasn't involved. Both have come out in the open and spoken about it to the media. But at the end of the day, they're senior professionals from the film industry and they have been around much longer than I have."So why the cold shoulder to Viveik?
"There's only one person whom Salman has made his displeasure very clear about for which he has a very valid reason. I think he is very uncomfortable with his friends being around Viveik. Everyone knows about it because Salman has spoken about it."That explains why Viveik chose to follow the SRK camp.
Katrina is all set for the release of her much-awaited musical venture 'Yuvvraaj' opposite beau Salman. "The role is a wonderful one of a cello player. I was told to play the cello in the film like I was dancing. I moved my fingers the way I would use my feet to dance and it worked. The scenes came out great. Anyway I had a great teacher to show me how to play the instrument."
T! he lovers chemistry! seems to be actually working out well for movie, "It's great to be paired opposite someone who you know and who has been close to you. This film is a little more special to me in the sense that it is looking very good. It has a good story and it is a film which I think is going to be on celluloid forever. It has the makings of a romantic classic."Well, can't really predict the fate of the movie, but looks like Viveik is soon to vanish from the big screen!
