Katrina wanted to give up on acting after her 2007 movie, Namaste London which also featured Akshay Kumar in the lead. The actress in an episode of Koffee With Karan said, “When I saw the film, I was terrified. I just saw too much of me in the film and you start believing what people say. I was like, ‘No, no, no, people can’t see me in a film, they won’t watch the film, it’s a disaster. This is over, my life is over.’ I was like, ‘I am packing my bags and I am going to find a new career'”
