Katrina Kaif, after making a forgettable debut with Boom in 2003, gained recognition with Namastey London. But did you know that when she first watched the film, she thought it would be a ‘disaster’ and even considered finding an alternate profession because she thought her acting career was ‘over’
In the popular reality show Koffee with Karan, Katrina Kaif spoke about Namastey London and spilt some unknown facts on the show.
As quoted by Hindustan Times, Katrina said, “When I saw the film, I was terrified. Vipul (Amrutlal Shah, director) showed it to me and said, ‘What do you think?’ I didn’t call him back. You know, when a director shows the actress a film, you have to give him feedback. I took off home, shut the door and didn’t give him a call.”.
But soon after she got a call from her assistant, knowing that Vipul was upset for she didn’t give feedback, she called him and said, “I called him and I said, ‘Hi Vipul.’ He asked, ‘What do you think?’ I said, ‘Nice, very nice film. Okay, bye’,”
But Katrina added that, that she felt it would end her career, “I just saw too much of me in the film and you start believing what people say. I was like, ‘No, no, no, people can’t see me in a film, they won’t watch the film, it’s a disaster. This is over, my life is over.’”
But after the film got hit and became a success, she was shocked. She said, “That was really nice, it was really important for me because I think it did change people’s perception. It was the first time I got so many calls even from the industry, from directors saying, ‘I think you did pretty well in the movie’,”
