Katrina Kaif: My chemistry with Ranbir Kapoor is not fake

Katrina Kaif and Ranbir KapoorAnurag Basu is known for changing the storyline Was it difficult to work with himIt does get difficult because you cant come on the sets with a plan but thats the beauty of Dada Basu He doesnt want his actors to think in a particular way and that is a big relief I believed in his directorial abilities He observes his actor sees the things he wants to highlight of their persona and also the things hed like to change or add to the character One day he told me You are always thinking about something I want to know what it is So he understood our frame of mindThe film took a long time to be made Did that bother youThere were days when it was really frustrating and we would wonder when it would finally end We even questioned if we would be able to pull this together But honestly every day brought something to look forward to I realised we were creating something unusual Ive always had a good feeling about the film Frankly I have grown up watching musicals So having got a chance to be a part of one kept me excitedDid the turmoil in your life Kaif split from Kapoor while filming Jagga Jasoos affect youI am good at keeping my personal and professional life separate so the things that people said did not bother me Also I was determined to see this film through At that time no one could have stopped me from doing that After Baar Baar Dekho 2016 this was the only film I had for six months I needed to stand up strongly in my career The media however only wrote about your personal life Because thats where I was spending most of my time Back then I was happy in the relationship Today Im happy my career has gathered momentumAlso readRanbir Kapoor finds new love but Katrina Kaif isnt happy about itThere were reports that you dont want to work with Ranbir againRight now we are waiting for Jagga Jasoos to release Post that I have a few films lined up and Ranbir is also busy with his commitments I havent thought about what happens laterA friendly banter between you two has been evident during the promotionsWe have always had this friendly banter This is how we have always spoken to each other right from our first film Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani 2009 We share a great chemistry I am happy that people are getting entertained by us The conversation that you see between Ranbir and me is not rehearsed and I dont think anyone can rehearse the nonsense that we talk People are looking at it through a microscopeAlso readKatrina Kaif Coincidence that Im working with three KhansYou have films with the three Khans lined up With such big outings in your kitty do you ever get complacentI did in the past but not now The last yearandahalf has been tumultuous for me I had to shift my focus from my personal life to professional one It took a lot of perseverance Now that work is the only thing on my mind Im not complacent because I know how hard it has been to get backThe industry looks at Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra as powerhouse performers Even Alia Bhatt is considered someone to look out for Does it bother you that your name doesnt feature among themBoth the actresses that you mentioned have had some phenomenal releases Their films have been appreciated by the critics and have worked well commercially too People judge actors on the basis of their boxoffice successes and my last two films havent performed I am fortunate to still be working with some of the biggest names in the industry The fact that I have four films three of which are being helmed by production houses that are important for me makes me excited about my career Boxoffice successes are important because it is crucial to be accepted by peopleIs it easy to remain unaffected by the success of your peersI have been in the industry for 14 years There was a phase in my career when every film that I did performed well If I complain thats just me being unfair towards my career Of course I would like to be appreciated at all times but with highs come lows and everyone has to face this
