Those who thought of Katrina Kaif as a beauty without brains will have to rethink after watching her tete-a-tete with Karan Thapar at India Today Conclave 2015.
One may break a sweat at the thought of being interviewed by Karan Thapar, but Katrina Kaif was calm, composed and unflappable at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi on Friday.
The lady answered a slew of questions and didn’t spill any beans on her personal life.
Author and socialite Shobhaa De, who was at the conclave, was impressed by Katrina.
“Katrina Kaif got the better of Karan Thapar at the India Today Conclave! Quite a feat!” Shobhaa De tweeted.a
Here are some excerpts of Katrina Kaif’s talks from the conclave. Also check out the images ahead.
I didn’t come to India to be an actor
When I came to India I saw the openness of the people in Mumbai. I felt at home, I didn’t come to be an actor but (to be a) model. As a model, I was very fortunate and achieved quite quickly. I didn’t know Hindi at 17 when I was doing Boom. I had no experience at all. Jackie Shroff gave me a piece of advice: You must learn to read the Devnagari script. I took his advice and now all my scripts come in Devnagari.
Akshay advised me
‘Namastey London’ got me really noticed. I definitely am grateful to Akshay, he gave me really good advice.
Salman is an amazing person
There are many definitions with the relationship we share. I don’t like to really share publicly or give labels to the relationship I share with him. Salman has been an important part of my life, not only in films but his family, his sisters. Till today, we are good friends. He is just an amazing person. He is unique, you don’t meet many people like Salman. He will always remain an important part of my life. If you ever come across him, don’t be afraid of striking a conversation, he interacts really well – be it a fan or who approaches him, he engages well with them.
Ranbir is naturally gifted
He is a supremely talented actor, naturally gifted. Both Salman and Ranbir are different as they have very different techniques and approaches are different.
Neetu Kapoor is a great lady
Neetu ji is a great lady who I have tremendous admiration for. As a woman, she is a fantastic person. Ranbir’s family is lovely, even his father is a darling.
I feel strongly about current issues
I strongly feel about current issues, but since I am not on social media does not mean I have no views.
