Katrina Kaif is turning 26 on Friday, but she will be spending her birthday far away in Spain, where she is presently shooting for Zoya Akhtar's Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.
According to Times of India, there won't be any party for the actress in Mumbai but she's not missing out on any of that. In fact, the actress admits that she's happy to get away from the rains in Mumbai.
“My sisters have flown down from London to be with me and so has my three-year-old niece. I have not been able to spend time with her, so today that's what I'm going to do,” she said on a long distance call from Spain.
The Cancerian might not have grand plans to celebrate her birthday, but she does have three wishes she wants to see fulfiled. “I want happiness, peace of mind and a lot of good film offers. I want to work in a film directed by Yashji someday,” said Katrina, who being in the top league of Bollywood actresses, won't find it to too difficult to make her wishes come true. “I have had my share of battles. Life's been tough. But now I want a smooth sailing,” she said.
Kat believes she's a destiny's child. “I came from nowhere and within six years, I've managed to make a place for myself in Bollywood. I think that's because I live by my principles and one of them is not doing films for the sake of money. If people thought my debut film Boom was for monetary reasons then I would say it was due to sheer ignorance that I got myself in that film.
But now I'm happy, even though I only work and have no life other than that,” she laughed. But for her, that's the beauty of her job, it takes her places and allows her to meet different people. “In Zoya's film, I've been zipping around on bikes, I did some deep sea diving too and it's been fun. It's not that I learned bike riding because of this film, I've always known how to ride bikes,” said the actress, revealing her sporty side. “I enjoyed watching the Spain-Germany football match here. Football mania had really gripped Spain. But unfortunately, I couldn't catch all the matches because I was busy shooting,” she said.
There have been talks of how all work and no play has taken a toll on her health. She has been fainting on the sets due to low haemoglobin levels. “They are all Chinese whispers. I'm not sick as I'm made out to be. I was weak last December but that's about it. I work out, eat well and take good care of myself. My trainer can vouch for that,” she said and added, “Actually I'm not accessible to people all the time, that's why they cook up stories about me.”
But all that doesn't affect the actress who has her faith keeping her afloat. “I'm a very spiritual person. I pray a lot. I feel God has his hand over me. I'm being looked after so I do my bit helping my mother with her charity. It gives me peace.” And when the time comes for her to call it quits in the film industry, Kat says she'll happily hang up her boots. “I have not planned what I'll do later on, but I'll definitely move on in life,” she said.
