    Katrina Kaif on reading Devanagari
    I can read Devanagari today. Jackie Shroff taught me many years back. I would learn Hindi everyday for three hours. I insist that the scripts are given to me in Devanagari so that when I am sitting in my room, I read written Hindi.

    Katrina Kaif on her Directors

    If my director has a disconnect with me or shows disinterest, I can sense it. So I need to connect, otherwise I feel alone and unwanted.

    People may not realise it, but I am actually a very sensitive person.

    Katrina Kaif on her favourite Directors, Kabir Khan, Zoya Akhtar and Abhishek Kapoor

    During the making of New York, Kabir Khan became a good friend. He had a lot of trust in me. Then I connected immensely as a woman with Zoya Akhtar while making Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. Working on Fitoor with Gattu (Abhishek Kapoor), I get what he is saying.

    Katrina Kaif on Fitoor

    Maybe two years back, I may not have done a film like Fitoor. But the moment I knew that Gattu was writing his script, it was something I wanted to be a part of.

    Katrina Kaif on Jagga Jasoos

    I have been wanting to work with dada’s vision (Anurag Basu) for the longest time, but was waiting for the right film and then Jagga Jasoos happened.

    Katrina Kaif on Competition

    When I started, you are running behind your vision with your heart and mind. When you have achieved a part of that vision, then you get a sense of calmness and then, when you see someone else doing well in the space that used to be your target, you are okay with it as you have achieved that target already.

    Katrina Kaif on her goals

    Now my goals have to be different and cannot be the same that they were three years ago. And I see them changing on their own organically and naturally.

    Katrina Kaif on doing different roles that are not just about dancing and looking glamourous

    There was a time when I wanted to do as much as I could in the dancing and glamour space. But I think I achieved a lot in that. That does not mean that I don’t want to do something new in that or a new film on dance, but now I also want to elaborate on other aspects of my persona in my films. To do characters that can show a different aspect of your personality, maybe the more serious, confused, layered, complex and anxious side of you, something every woman can connect with.

    Katrina Kaif on being secure

    Nobody is 100% secure. But yes, I do feel secure now. Everyone goes through moments of insecurity, be it about your work or people in your life or about your family. Everyone goes through that, but at some point in time, you have to try and get yourself on the road and find peace with yourself.

    Katrina Kaif on being private

    I am a private person, but am extremely sensitive and very emotional. I am quiet and mind my business. I keep to myself for the most part and the people in my life are the people in my life and they have my dedication, time and support. I can live a very private life. I do stay away from events or functions or parties.

    Katrina Kaif on whether or not she can cook

    I am a terrible cook.

    Katrina Kaif on Religion

    I have always been religious. While my father was a Muslim and my mom is a Christian, we have been brought up to practise all faiths. We have a mandir at our home. And while I don’t do puja, I do light a jyot sometimes.
