Speaking to Mid-Day, Katrina Kaif opened up about the time she did a Telugu film called Malliswari with Venkatesh Daggubati. The actress remembered that when she was shooting for a song, somebody on the set said on the microphone, "This girl just can’t dance."
Katrina added that she remembers, very specifically, not feeling pained or sensitive about it. She just heard it as information. She also recalled many people telling her that she wouldn't 'make it' in films. All of this changed in due time, of course, and she went on to become a star. The same people who said that she would never be successful went on to work with her later on.
