Highflying Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif – the face of UAE airline Etihad – touched down in Dubai on Thursday to promote the airline’s new destinations - and meet her ardent fans at Marina Mall. Speaking to Gulf News, she stressed the importance of her audience. “I’m not going to do a movie just because I will get critical support,” she said.
“As long as the audience comes to the theatre and enjoy themselves, I’m happy.” And come they did, thronging the mall to catch a glimpse of the actress, who gained huge popularity in recent months thanks to her raunchy item song Sheela Ki Jawani from the film Tees Mar Khan. But it’s not all singing and dancing. When asked how she feels about her best actress nomination in the upcoming International Indian Film Academy awards for her role in Rajneeti, Kaif admitted it was the first she’d heard of it. “I had no idea, thank you for giving me the good news. It’s very nice that the film was appreciated,” she said.
