Salman Khan's advice has been invaluable, says Katrina Kaif

In an exclusive interview to Screen's Editor Priyanka Sinha Jha, Katrina Kaif talks about why Salman advice is still the most valuable to her and how is it working with Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan.

Do I think Salman's advice has been important?

Yes, it's been invaluable. He's had a very strong basic sense of the working of the film industry, so yes, I think it's been invaluable. But it's quite similar to Anushka Sharma and all other YRF protégés having Adi (Aditya Chopra) advise them

I do feel that I have made some safe choices, but I don't regret it because they were necessary at that time. Right or wrong

Seated in her plush suburban apartment as she instructs the house-help in crisp, chaste Hindi, Katrina Kaif seems firmly in command of her life. With a row of hits behind her and some impressive projects in the kitty-Dhoom 3 with Aamir Khan, Bang Bang opposite Hrithik Roshan and director Kabir Khan's next with Saif Ali Khan, the statuesque beauty is much in demand, the competition notwithstanding.

Presently in news for her small role in Bombay Talkies (a young boy wants to be Sheila and dance like her), Kaif is clearly stepping into a new phase of her career. For starters, she has just got out of a gruelling action sequence in Dhoom 3 which caused her severe bruising across her legs. She looks fighting fit and is raring to get into the action mode.

"Follow you dreams" is what she says in an television interview (in the film) . With a slew of hits about 20 in a career spanning nine years, Kaif of course has not just followed her dream but is living it! In a lengthy conversation with Screen, she puts into perspective her enviable success, learning curve and why she will never stop offering suggestions.
