Katrina Kaif: I take all adulation with a pinch of salt

Year 2009 has been particularly superb for Katrina Kaif. She has a HIT in NEW YORK and a SUPERHIT in AJAB PREM KI GHAZAB KAHANI. Now she is staring at a hat trick of sorts with DE DANA DAN carrying good buzz too. Suddenly, she is being commended for her choice of movies and an amazing track record. For someone who was written off 6 years back after the release of BOOM (2003), she has indeed come a long way and seen quite a few lows and highs. Due to the volatile situation of Bollywood, does she actually get impacted by all the adulation and superstar talks?

"Frankly, I take it all with a pinch of salt", admits Katrina, "One can never get too carried away in this industry because at the end of the day, it doesn't achieve you anything at all. The best way is to look at the work you are doing and continue to make careful choices." While with Akshay, she shares an impeccable record of giving maximum number of successful films, her 'jodi' with current heart throb Ranbir Kapoor to is looked at quite keenly.

"Of course if a good film comes in, I would love to do a film with Ranbir. However, I have to look at not just at my co-star. I should have an amazing role, the script should be good and so should be the director. Even if one of these anchors falls down, the movie can't be expected to fetch great results", says Katrina who is now looking forward to the box office response of DE DANA DAN where she is working with Priyadarshan for the first time. Well, one really hopes that the film is yet another good example of a careful choice being made.
