When Katrina Kaif landed a role in Subhash Ghai’s Yuvvraaj, many smirked that it was due to beau Salman Khan. But after delivering six hits in a row, Katrina is now hogging the limelight.

Asked what it means to act in a Subhash Ghai pic, Katrina Kaif says,” I have come to this industry as a definite outsider. I had no ties or relatives here. There are a few directors who are part of Hindi cinema legend and Subhash Ghai is definitely one of the legendary filmmakers. He is someone whose cinema I have admired. It is so larger than life for me. So when I was offered the film, it really didn’t matter what I was doing in it. I think every actress wants a chance to work with Subhash Ghai. At least once. It’s something I sure wanted to do.”

Regarding the second chance she got romancing Salman on screen after 2005’ s Maine Pyaar kyun Kiya, Katrina Kaif says,” It’s no different to me. When I come on the sets, I am there to work, I am there to concentrate on making a good movie. And the director is the captain of the ship. I think we both just followed Subhashji, whatever he said, whatever he wanted us to do. Salman is no different to me from any other actor because we are both there to work.”
She is not comfortable with the Number one heroine tag she is receiving now. “ I genuinely mean this, and not in a nice kind of a way, I don’t believe in being number one or number two. Every actress has her own strong points. And trust me, no actress can be responsible for a hit and no actress can be responsible for a flop. The director, the script, the hero, the heroine, the supporting cast… there are lots of factors. Of course, you are responsible towards the film. As a woman, I feel there are three aspects an actress should keep in mind — her look, because cinema is about glamour in a lot of ways, her dancing and her performance. As long as you are doing these three things in a unique manner, you are doing your job,” she quips.

Asked the recipe for her recent success, Katrina Kaif says,” One is destiny. Two, I pray a lot and I do believe in that. You have to leave it to God and hope the audience likes the film and relates to it.”
