Katrina Kaif has given an explosive interview to the famous Filmfare magazine where she has spoken openly about her relationship with Salman Khan and her professional career. She has talked about the working experience with other 2 Khans - Shahrukh Khan and Aamir Khan. Also, she has credited Akshay Kumar much for her success. Below mentioned are the highlights of the interview.
Much of your success is attributed to Salman Khan. How do you react to that?
I believe behind every successful person there’s destiny, then there’s God. Then there’s your hard work, your talent. And then there are people, your team. And there are many people in my life who have been an important part of my journey. I also believe that every person has people behind them who are a fundamental part of his/her journey. I’m not an exception. So how much of my success would you attribute to Salman Khan? He’s had a huge role in my career. There’s no doubt about that. I value his opinion. But as a person, Salman has had the biggest impact on my life. I became friends with him when I was young. And his persona is very strong. If I were to look back and see his impact on my life, it’s been tremendous. So why are we talking about something as small and segmented as a career. Life is far bigger than a career. Of course, what would my entire life journey have been had I not met that family, had I not met Akshay (Kumar). I highly recommend that if Salman ever gives you an advice please think about it. Because he comes from a correct thinking process. I’m not saying he’s perfect but his thinking process is correct. Obviously, having someone who’s so knowledgeable about the film industry was extremely valuable. But why should we dissect how much credit goes to him and how much goes to me. It’s a clear cut scenario. Many people have been launched by production houses yet they haven’t run the distance. So correct importance has to be given to it. It shouldn’t take away from me nor should I detract anything from it.
So what’s the nature of your relationship with Salman Khan now? There’s still a lot of talk about you two.
That’s restricted space for me. This was the advice that was given to me by the person himself. That is Salman. He said I don’t understand why people talk about their relationships in public. It’s wrong. I imbibed it and it became a part of me. That’s something I’ve always stuck to. Relationships as it is are tough. But relationships in the industry are damn hard. You need a very strong person with a tremendous amount of trust in you. Also whether the person supports you or supports your work hours, whether they have the faith not to believe all the things spoken about you. The second most important line out here is tell me some gossip. It’s all harmless, it’s fun but we all indulge in it. And when gossip goes around, your belief in your partner should be unquestionable. Now add to that the pressure of explaining yourself to the media. It doesn’t work for me to explain myself. With great difficulty I can explain myself to my friends, to my family. We’re entertainers. There’s no reason why our lives should be entertainment. That aside when you are talking about a relationship, or friendship, you’re speaking about two people. What right do I have to speak on another person’s behalf? Again when you’re talking about an equation with someone I’ve known as long as Salman, you’re talking about something that’s important to me. I’ve the highest amount of respect for him. He’s had a huge influence on my life. I won’t talk about it in a trivial way. All know the technical status. I’m single.
Coming to your work, you have worked with Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and now Aamir Khan. What’s your take on all the three Khans?
Salman has seen me since the beginning. So he’s always like come show me what you can do. He’s had a different approach. He’a casual on the set. There’s nothing heavy about him. But I was most intimidated by Shah Rukh Khan. I didn’t know whether it was just him or it was the environment on the set. Jab Tak Hai Jaan was a Yash Chopra film, Aditya Chopra was the first AD. It was the enormity of the situation. He’s an impeccable co-star, always there to guide you. After the first schedule, he noticed the approach I had towards my role. He’s a perceptive co-star. As for Aamir, there was so much happening before the start of the Dhoom 3 schedule that I didn’t have the time to fret about it. So the first scene with Aamir Khan, who’s known to be a perfectionist, was so much fun. I felt that we were just two actors standing there and Aamir was telling you let’s just interact and see how the scene works. I never felt that he was thinking ‘I’m Aamir Khan let’s see what you can do’ I never felt he was judging me. I feared it would be terrifying. But I actually felt extremely comfortable with him.
