She has been on a roll of late, but an exhausted Katrina Kaif tells Shubha Shetty Saha that she still hasn’t found time for rest Good films, great money have been driving stars from one set to another — often in different countries. But the flip side of success is overwork. Some time ago Kareena Kapoor had confessed to After Hrs that she has been left with absolutely no time for her personal life. Now it is Katrina Kaif’s turn to signal timeout.
“I have been working really hard," said Katrina. "You know how it is, when your film is just about to release (Yuvvraj). Apart from shooting you get busy with the publicity bit.” In the process, says the actress, eight hours of sleep have become an elusive luxury.
“I really need a good night’s rest,” sighed Katrina to After Hrs late at night. “But no regrets, really. Right now, work is fabulous. I think as a young girl it is all right to work as hard as possible. What time I get for myself is more than enough. This kind of work comes to you perhaps once in your life and it is best to take advantage of it.”
Katrina said the recent hits she has delivered have increased the burden of expectation on her. “I can feel the pressure sometimes," she said. "But I tell myself that I cannot let these things affect me. I just need to be really happy because god has been exceptionally kind to me and I have had such wonderful people to work with.”
Katrina's films releasing in 2009 will show a different dimension of the actress. “I have been doing more or less the same kind of roles till now. But next year I will be seen in films by Rajkumar Santoshi and Prakash Jha besides a Yashraj film." (The working title for the Yashraj film is New York).
“Jha’s film has a very realistic role for me and it will be a refreshing change from what I have already done," said Katrina. "I don’t want to stagnate, but at the same time I know that my commercial roles have worked for me. My glam roles have gone down very well with people and I will continue doing them. I absolutely loved dancing in films like Singgh Is King and I am not going to give up those kind of roles up for anything."
