Katrina Kaif describes how she struggled in Bollywood for four years

New Delhi: Bollywood star Katrina Kaif has described her for three and a half years she struggled in Bollywood, hiring taxis, going to ad agencies with her portfolio, holding up banner at auditions with her name and phone number scrawled on it. In an interview to Harper's Bazaar, in which Kat appears on the cover in a stunning dress, the star revealed her struggles at the early stage of her career. "There were three-and-a-half years where I worked every single day, sometimes for 16 hours straight. I took taxis and visited advertising agencies to personally hand over my portfolio. "I regularly auditioned at studios where I held up a banner with my phone number scrawled on it. Soon, I started getting work, one thing led to another, and I made a natural progression into films." Katrina, who ruled Bollywood among heroines in 2012, is presently working for Dhoom3 opposite Aamir Khan. The actor, who prefers to keep her private life away from the prying eyes, says her reasons are simple: "I've always maintained that those aspects of our lives which are personal, and unrelated to our careers, shouldn't be discussed at work." "When people refer to me as politically correct, they tend to use the term particularly with respect to my relationships. "On that front, I believe that these questions are steered in two basic directions - towards people who are unimportant and do not warrant comment; or towards those who are very important, and therefore deserve respect and dignity with out any such public comments."
