As Katrina Kaif celebrates her birthday today, we look back at her candid interview with Hindustan Times where she spoke about her career and approach to the ever-evolving Bollywood industry. With a career spanning over two decades, Katrina has seen significant changes and has adapted with grace. In a 2017 interview, she shared her thoughts on the pressure of competing with newcomers and the importance of evolving with time.
Katrina, who debuted in 2003, remarked, “Time does not stand still for anyone, and with time comes evolution, and that’s exactly what you should be doing. I can’t—and shouldn’t—think that I am going to rewind myself and play a 21-year-old girl in a short pink miniskirt.” She acknowledged the industry’s ruthlessness but emphasized the importance of survival and personal growth. “It’s a game of survival. And that understanding isn’t about looking around you and trying to compete with people who are 20-21 years old because that would be insanity and, in fact, illogical,” she explained.
Vicky Kaushal on Celebrating Katrina’s Birthday
Vicky Kaushal, Katrina’s husband, shared his excitement about celebrating her birthday. During an event promoting his upcoming film “Bad Newz,” he said, “Thank you! It’s a very special day. The plan is to just spend some quality time together because promotions are going on for a long time, and she’s also been travelling.” He also addressed rumors about Katrina’s pregnancy, saying, “The good news that you are talking about, we’ll be very happy to share whenever it happens, but until then, there’s no truth to that, and it’s only speculation.”
Katrina has a remarkable filmography, starting with the 2003 film “Boom,” directed by Kaizad Gustad. She later starred in the 2004 Telugu film “Malliswari” and broke into commercial Hindi cinema with hits like “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?,” “Humko Deewana Kar Gaye,” and “Namastey London.” Her most recent film was Sriram Raghavan’s “Merry Christmas,” which was shot simultaneously in Hindi and Tamil, co-starring Vijay Sethupathi.
