During an interview, she joked about how Vicky often remarks that life feels “full of drama” when she is around. Katrina laughed, acknowledging her reputation as an entertaining presence. She admitted that her husband finds her personality lively, adding a fun element to their relationship.
When asked about her long-standing friendship with Salman Khan, Katrina described their bond as deep and supportive. According to Katrina, Salman has a “generous heart” and always senses when she may need help or advice, even if they haven’t spoken for a while. She expressed admiration for him, calling their equation “full of respect and admiration.”
Katrina also shared her excitement about her role as Zoya in *Tiger 3*. She praised the film’s director, Manish Sharma, for portraying her character with strength and depth. Katrina highlighted how Sharma’s commitment to Zoya’s character has allowed her to emerge as a powerful figure alongside Salman’s character, Tiger. Reflecting on Zoya’s evolution across the franchise, Katrina noted how the film allows Zoya to display her strength and independence, something she values greatly. She said that the current trend in Hindi cinema is embracing strong female characters, inspired by Western action stars like Charlize Theron and Halle Berry, and she believes this trend will continue to grow.
The action sequences in *Tiger 3* also demanded significant physical and mental preparation. Katrina shared insights into her rigorous training, which started three months before shooting and included both physical and mental exercises. She worked closely with a trainer named Mustafa, who not only pushed her physically but also encouraged her to develop mental resilience. According to Katrina, Mustafa emphasized the importance of overcoming mental barriers, a philosophy that she found transformative. This mindset enabled her to push through challenging action scenes, which she feels contribute to her character’s authenticity on screen.
One of Katrina’s favorite scenes is a complex, gritty fight sequence involving two women, including a martial arts expert. She explained how she wanted to deliver a realistic portrayal of strength, making the scene feel as authentic as possible. She’s proud of the results, especially with the support of the right team who helped bring her vision for Zoya’s character to life.
Katrina also discussed her chemistry with Salman in the *Tiger* franchise. She admitted that maintaining such chemistry over several movies requires intentional effort. Both actors aim to depict a relationship that feels authentic and multi-dimensional, balancing both romance and a mature, married dynamic. She laughed at the idea of rehearsing romantic scenes with Salman, humorously noting that it would be challenging for the two seasoned actors to openly discuss love scenes.
Katrina ended the interview by expressing her gratitude for the positive response to *Tiger 3*, saying she feels proud of her work and excited about the way Zoya’s character was portrayed. She views her success in Hindi cinema as an ongoing journey and believes that roles like Zoya are setting a new standard for powerful female characters in the industry.
