Katrina Kaif was a bundle of nerves when faced with a crowd of 10,000 people.
From the start of her career in Bollywood, Katrina Kaif has often been referred to as an actress who’s hit fame through her beauty (than her talent) and by hitching her wagon to a superstar (read Akshay Kumar ). She recently got a chance to silence her critics.
The lady was put to the ultimate litmus test in acting by director Prakash Jha while shooting his film Rajniti in Bhopal.
She was given a long speech in chaste Hindi which she had to deliver in front of a huge crowd of 10,000 people. Now, Katrina, who still manages to speak only tooti footi Hinglish, was faced with the mammoth challenge of giving a long bhaashan in shudh Hindi and that too to thousands of people.
Jha, who helped Katrina train in Hindi diction, told a website that the actress was nervous and shaky before giving the shot. But she managed to pull it off.
“Katrina Kaif is such a revelation. She was so nervous giving a speech in front of 10,000 people. After she gave her speech I hugged her on stage and shouted out to the junta, Bhopal ka ticket de de kya?” Jha is quoted as saying.
The film has Katrina playing a woman who enters politics after her husband is assassinated by his rivals. The movie also has Ranbir Kapoor playing a Harvard educated NRI who is compelled by circumstances to take over the political dynasty of his family.
‘Rajniti’ stars a host of talented actors like Naseeruddin Shah , Nana Patekar , Manoj Bajpai and Arjun Rampal .
Her hindi is now better.
