Katrina Kaif was 'thrown out' of John Abraham's film after just one shot!
Katrina Kaif has cemented her place in the Indian cinema as one of the A-listers with her acting prowess. Kat debuted in 2003 with Boom and has come a long way. Throughout her illustrious career spanning over two decades, she has worked with almost all the top actors of Bollywood including l some South biggies. However, she struggled a lot in the initial phase of her career. Despite a flop debut, she was roped in for another movie starring John Abraham in the lead. However, she was 'thrown out' after just one shot.
During an earlier interview, Katrina Kaif recalled the incident when after just one shot, she was thrown out of the John Abraham-led movie. Kat revealed that she was roped in for 2003's Saaya. However, director Anurag Basu replaced her with Tara Sharma.
While talking to Bollywood Bubble, Kat said, "I got thrown out, not thrown out, let’s say replaced in a film called Saaya which was an Anurag Basu film with John Abraham and Tara Sharma. After shooting one shot, not one day, but just one shot. At that time, I thought my life was over. I thought my career was over."
Further, the Ek Tha Tiger actress said, "Everyone faces rejection, I think, as an actor. Maybe not everyone, but most actors will face rejection and hear no a lot. And that’s why you have to develop that resilience if you want to be an actor."
Furthermore, she also revealed how she got inspired.
"I’ve had people to my face say, when I first started out, ‘You cannot be an actor and there’s nothing good about you’, straight. I cried then, too, so crying helps. But then you hold onto the vision you have, you work hard, and you got to be resilient," she added.
Well, it was Salman Khan who mentored Katrina Kaif in the early stages of her career and played a key role in her journey. However, it was the Merry Christmas actress' sheer hard work that paved her way to the top.
