Actor Katrina Kaif has been steadily dismantling her glamorous image over the years. Her focus has shifted towards selecting roles that offer substance and depth, aiming to break her free from all the stereotypes. In a recent interview, the actor reiterated her commitment to these choices and disclosed that she opted for her latest project, Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas, precisely because it presented her in a new and refreshing light.
Speaking to Mid Day, she said, “I want to portray myself in a new way. The reason behind that is that I don’t want to repeat myself too much anymore because, in certain scenarios, I am feeling bored of myself. If I am feeling bored of myself, I’m pretty sure the audience is going to be feeling bored. If I’m feeling repetitive, they’re going to feel it repetitive.”
This period marks a transition for Katrina Kaif as she seeks fresh experiences in her filmography. She explained, “That’s the instinct that I try to go by. It’s not out of trying to predict the future, its out of being genuine and honest to myself. In certain spaces, I’m questioning myself – ‘Am I feeling joy in this moment? Am I feeling alive here? Do I have something to give here?’ Something new to give to myself as an experience and something new to give to the film in that space. This is a kind of period of a certain transition in a way. As in, we all need to evolve and change over the years. I’m not the same 19-year-old who came into the film industry.”
Katrina’s latest venture, Merry Christmas, garnered both critical acclaim and audience appreciation. Starring alongside Vijay Sethupathi, their unconventional pairing proved to be a refreshing success, with both actors praised for their chemistry and performances. Prior to Merry Christmas, Katrina’s role in Salman Khan’s Tiger 3 franchise also earned her accolades, showcasing her versatility beyond the typical Bollywood masala flick.
