In a fan segment during the Pinkvilla Masterclass with the team of Merry Christmas, a fan posed a fun question to Katrina Kaif, asking, “You have done versatile roles in various movies that we have seen, from Jazz in Namastey London, Indu in Raajneeti and now Zoya in Tiger series. Which character of yours is closest to real-life Katrina?”
Katrina responded by mentioning the film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, where she played the character Laila under the direction of Zoya Akhtar. Explaining her choice, Katrina expressed, “If I had to pick one, I would say Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. I think there’s a certain way Zoya has when she makes her films and especially a film like this where she's really casting the actor for the essence of who they are.”
The actress added, “Of course some films require performance which is not like how you are in real life but I think that film was probably the most similar.”
