‘She was struggling with dance steps’

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Terence said, “I remember her coming to my studio way back when Boom had just released. She was doing a diamond jewellery show. We were trying to teach her. She was also very young, fresh to India, very like ‘What am I supposed to do?’ And it wasn’t very Bollywood, we kept it more Western, but still, she was struggling with the dance steps. Rhythm was not there,” said Terence.

However, when Terence saw Katrina’s killer moves in Zara Zara Touch Me from Race (2008) he couldn’t believe it was the same girl he had met.

“After Boom, I did a show with her. She didn’t have that figure. And she couldn’t dance the way… When she did Zara Zara Touch Me, I called up Bosco (Martis, choreographer) and said, ‘Is this the same girl, with that figure?’ One of the most hardworking actors, Katrina Kaif. Because she was not a dancer. She wasn’t trained as a dancer. And she was very tall and statuesque, a big built. How she’s worked on her body! How she’s worked on her dance! Commendable,” the choreographer added.
