It’s noon here but 2 am in the US. Katrina Kaif’s just returned to her hotel room from a film award event. Tired and exhausted, Kat still makes some time to talk to us, ahead of her birthday today. In this short chat, she tells us why she isn’t too gung-ho about celebrating birthdays and what’s on her wishlist for the next one year. Read on...
Yeah, maybe. Honestly, I don’t know if I’m exactly a birthday person. I’m not sure. I’m still in two minds about how big a video one should make for their birthdays. Right now, because we are in New York and there’s so much happening around, we are just going to have fun. That’s it.
As a kid, I don’t think there was much time or energy spent on birthdays (laughs). My family had too many kids to give each birthday any importance. It was only later that we started celebrating them. Obviously, this year, I am performing on the night of my birthday, Jagga Jasoos has just released and I have my birthday.
Umm, let me think... I really don’t remember. I have always travelled on my birthdays in the last few years. Although last year I spent it with friends in Mumbai, and it was lovely. But the two years before that, I have always travelled out of the country. So seeing and visiting new places, it’s been fun!
I don’t have interesting birthday stories to tell. (Laughs) There’s nothing that I remember right now.
No, no. I don’t.
I don’t even know what I’m going to do day after tomorrow. I don’t plan that far. But if you ask me what I wish to do, I would say I want to concentrate on my work, get happiness through it, to get some more grounding in life and to be at ease. So, good health, happiness and fulfilment.
I’m going to be rehearsing for my performance. After that, I will decide what I’m going to do, where I’m going to do it and how I’m going to do it. I haven’t planned anything for my birthday, yet.
Some of my sisters will be here with me. So, it will be good.
Probably the amount I stress. I would want to stress less.
Both, I think.
I think it’s about where you want to be. It doesn’t matter what it is, when you have the people around you who you like.
Chocolate cake!
Birthday gifts, of course!
Not a big drinker so neither.
I don’t care. I’m not 13!
I think either of them is fine. Even messages are fine, as long as they are personalised.
Dinner.
