Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif is undoubtedly one of the best dancers in the film industry. She's totally impressed everyone with her dancing skills in numbers like 'Kamli' ('Dhoom 3', 2013), 'Chikni Chameli' ('Agneepath', 2012) and 'Sheila Ki Jawani' ('Tees Maar Khan', 2010). The actress had recently also trained with choreographer Prabhudeva for a fortnight for a sizzling dance number in her upcoming film 'Thugs Of Hindostan'. Rani Mukerji starrer 'Hichki' makers have come up with a campaign wherein they have asked Bollywood celebrities to reveal the biggest 'Hichki' they had to face in their lives.
Talking about the same Katrina revealed that her biggest hurdle was dancing. When she joined the film industry, her dancing skills were not at par with what filmmakers wanted. "I remember I was shooting for a Telugu film with Venkatesh. The choreographer, Raju Sundaram, looked quite irritated with [the lack of] my dancing skills, but didn't say anything. Later, while working on 'Wanted' (2009), I overheard him telling Salman Khan that as a dancer, Katrina Kaif is zero! I was shocked to hear that."
Upon hearing this she was determined to not let this hinder her growth as an artiste. "I trained with Kathak guru, Veeru Krishnan, from 7 am to 1 pm almost every day," she continued. "Bosco-Caesar gave me the confidence to perform to the best of my ability in 'Race' (2008). I think this is what a good teacher does — gives a person the confidence that s/he can do it. That's how I overcame my challenge of being a 'zero' dancer," she concluded. Who would've thought that Katrina would ever face a problem in dancing? Stay tuned for more updates.
