Even after achieving commercial success with several films, Katrina Kaif has often tried to do something that breaks the clutter. Something that is not just song and dance, where she is not this shy demure Bollywood heroine, but also playing a part that exacts something out of her.

The first time she took that leap would be Namastey London, according to the actress. “Even though there was a certain comical and almost rom com-ish tone to the film, I think it was a great character. I just loved that story. It was just like that typical East meets West in the rom-com space. NRI chic and this Indian boy and I thought it was brilliant. I loved it, for me it was a phenomenal character,” the actress tells Mid-day during the latest Sit With Hitlist episode.
