Katrina Kaif reveals that Priyanka Chopra was the ‘star’ in her Kathak class

Katrina Kaif recently reflected upon her journey and made some interesting revelations. One such revelation was from the time Katrina was learning Hindi as well as Kathak.

In an interview with Mid-Day, Katrina shared how when she was learning Kathak, Priyanka Chopra and Lara Dutta were her seniors in that class, and PeeCee was the ‘star’ of the class.

Katrina shared, ‘Priyanka was like the star in our Kathak class. This was the same time when I was investing myself into learning Hindi that I put myself into Kathak training. From 6 am to 12 noon, we would train in a small room with no AC.’

In the interview, another interesting revelation Katrina Kaif made was about Salman Khan and Kabir Khan, revisiting the time when she was offered New York. Katrina shared that she was not very happy about doing the film and it was Salman who encouraged her. Katrina revealed that Kabir wanted to cast Salman for his first film Kabul Express (which starred John Abraham and Arshad Warsi later).

Talking about the same, Katrina narrated that after Aditya Chopra cut her role in Bachna Ae Haseeno, he offered her New York. She said, ‘When I first heard the film, I thought he offered me kind of a small film which was more artsy and had no song and dance. I thought Kabir Khan was like a documentary filmmaker. After taking away a big commercial film like Bachna Ae Haseeno, he gave me this art film, New York. And I was not very happy about it. I was angsty in my heart.’
