EXCLUSIVE: Katrina Kaif recalls being told ‘she can’t dance’: They weren’t wrong

Bollywood might be one of the only film industries in the world where you just don’t have to be good at acting to become an actor, you need to have a certain set of other skills as well, including dancing and action and what not. Katrina Kaif is one of the biggest superstars in the Hindi film industry and she might arguably be one of the best dancers we have out there as well. Her dancing skills are unmatchable but interestingly, she was once told that she couldn’t dance. In a recent exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Katrina Kaif opened up about the same.

During the conversation, when Katrina was mentioned about the instance when she was once told that she couldn’t dance, the revelation left her co-star Siddhant Chaturvedi quite stumped. However, the actress admitted to it saying, “Yes, very much so.” She even added that the person who said it to her, Siddhant has worked with them but she chose not to reveal any names so as not to make anyone feel bad. But she insisted that even she knew that she couldn’t dance at one point in her career.

She further added, “Honestly, I could not dance. It’s not that ‘oh they said that about me and hmm’. No, I couldn’t dance, that was a fact and they were just stating a very obvious fact that was in front of them. I’ve said it many times before, in the beginning I’d be like hands (flailing) everywhere. I remember Farah (Khan) ma’am, she was like, I don’t know she had a word that she would basically call out and just constantly remind you to keep your hands clean, your lines clean. But Bosco (Martis) was the first person to, I don’t know why or what he saw, but Bosco was the first person to to explain to me or talk to me, because I was convinced that I was not a good dancer and I was never going to be a good dancer and I couldn’t dance and that was coming across. Bosco told me that ‘no, you are a good dancer you have it in you but there’s this this this you have to work on’. So, once I felt the confidence that ‘no no I am a good dancer I just have to figure out the way’, then everything changed for me.”
