MUMBAI – Katrina Kaif is planning to share her journey, which was full ofups and downs, in the form a book.
The actor, who made her Bollywood debut with 2003 film Boom was initiallycriticised for her acting abilities and dancing skills, but she has come along way.
When asked how she handled herself in an industry which was alien to her,Katrina said she is saving the answer for now. “I educated myself (aboutthe industry) but I might write a book (on it), so I won’t waste the answernow. I seriously might write a book,” she told PTI.
Though the actor has had some of the biggest blockbusters to her credit,most recently being Tiger Zinda Hai, she has also seen low phases in hercareer, spanning nearly 15 years. Katrina, however, considers the setbacksas the stepping stones to her success. “You need to have a balancedattitude to life, need to accept that failures, hardships and hard times –for me definitely — they are the biggest teachers. They (failures) are thebiggest steps. Once you get there, then you reach higher. You need them.Hardship and failures taught me to evolve and reach the next step,” shesaid.
“I am constantly trying to educate myself by reading about peoples’journeys, taking care of my mind and making sure I am evolving as a personand not just accepting whatever thoughts come to my mind,” she added.
Katrina said she never had a plan B for her career as she always dreamt ofbeing a movie star. “There was no back-up plan. Having a plan B is likeaccepting failure. I have never had a plan B for anything. You can say thatis not the correct way to go (about something) maybe,” she said.
Katrina, who became the face of an NGO supporting girls education, saidthere is disparity in basic education between the privileged and theunderprivileged. “The more we ignore it, the more we are living in denial,”she said. – Agencies
