Katrina
Kaif
battled
Hindi
diction
woes
and
the
'outsider'
tag
to
win
over
Bollywood
audiences
and
has
worked
with
top-notch
stars
and
filmmakers
in
her
over
decade-long
acting
career.
Model-turned-actress
Katrina
Kaif
says
the
industry
only
has
space
for
those
who
are
passionate
about
their
craft
-
age
notwithstanding.
Facing
the
arclights
might
seem
like
a
cakewalk
for
many
but
Katrina,
who
at
one
point
in
her
career,
gave
six
back-to-back
hits,
doesn't
find
it
easy.
"It's
a
hard
industry
to
work
in.
It's
not
easy
on
a
person
to
be
sometimes
14
to
15
hours
on
the
sets.
Sometimes,
you
don't
have
a
lunch
or
dinner
break.
It's
taxing
on
a
person.
You
have
to
be
passionate
about
making
movies.
So,
till
the
time
you
are
passionate
about
it,
there
is
space
for
you
in
the
industry," said
Katrina.
At
31,
she
has
films
like
Jagga
Jasoos
and
Fitoor
in
her
kitty.
Katrina
doesn't
see
age
as
limitation
in
the
field.
Citing
examples
of
actresses
like
Madhuri
Dixit
and
Sridevi,
who
came
back
to
films
after
becoming
mothers,
Katrina
said
that
it's
not
age
that
decides
a
woman's
fate
in
showbiz.
"Actresses
like
Madhuri
and
Sridevi
have
worked
till
the
time
they've
wanted
to.
I
think
what
happens
with
most
women...it's
law
of
nature...if
they
choose
to
get
married
and
if
they
choose
to
have
a
family...and
that
will
take
her
away
from
work
for
that
particular
time.
"Otherwise,
I
think
women
work
as
long
as
they
choose
to.
Kajol
is
doing
great
work
till
today,
Aishwarya
(Rai)
has
started
doing
some
amazing
work
now.
It's
up
to
the
individual...how
much
he
or
she
is
interested
in
pursuing
and
developing
art," added
the
talented
actress,
who
has
roots
in
London.
As
an
actress,
Katrina
Kaif,
who
has
shared
screen
space
with
superstars
like
Shahrukh
Khan,
Salman
Khan
and
Aamir
Khan,
aims
to
get
her
hands
on
good
films,
rather
than
focusing
on
whom
she
is
cast
with.
"People
want
to
work
with
them
(the
Khans)
because
they
are
icons
of
Hindi
cinema,
but
I
don't
think
people
are
saying
that
that's
all
they
want
to
do.
If
you
are
an
actor,
your
job
is
to
act...
to
be
a
part
of
a
good
film
and
do
good
work," said
the
actress,
who
has
done
a
film
as
serious
as
Raajneeti
as
well
as
a
mix
of
comedies
and
romantic
films.
Having
started
with
a
box
office
dud
like
Boom
and
then
going
on
to
creating
a
success
story
started
with
Namastey
London,
Apne,
Partner,
Welcome,
Race
and
Singh
Is
King,
Katrina
feels
the
current
crop
of
films
are
"amazing",
with
women
playing
strong
central
roles.
"Even
in
the
films
which
I've
done
with
Salman
and
Shah
Rukh
--
Ek
Tha
Tiger
and
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
--
both
were
extremely
strong
roles
for
me...for
any
girl
to
do.
So,
I
don't
think
it's
just
about
whom
you
are
acting
with," said
the
actress,
who
essayed
a
Pakistani
spy
in
Salman-starrer
Ek
Tha
Tiger.
Also
a
popular
dancer
courtesy
her
songs
"Chikni
chameli"
and
"Sheila
ki
jawani",
Katrina
is
happy
that
she
has
worked
with
"almost
all
types
of
people".
"I've
worked
with
actors
like
Govinda,
Irrfan
Khan,
John
Abraham
and
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh.
It's
all
been
amazing,"
she
said.
She
is
currently
filming
Fitoor
in
which
she
is
paired
with
Aashiqui
2
fame
actor
Aditya
Roy
Kapur.
