I was quite a dreamer as a child: Katrina Kaif

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Geared up for the release of her new film “Jagga Jasoos”, a musical directed by Anurag Basu, Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif says she was a dreamer as a child, and preferred watching children’s cinema rather than reading comic books when she was younger. The actress’ character in the film has a child-like quality.

Reminiscing her own days as a child, Katrina told in an interview here: “I was quite a dreamer as a child, and very musical. I used to love watching musicals (films) and would imagine a lot of stories in my head. I think I used to live in my own wonder world.

“I had quite an imaginary mind. Probably that is why I become an actress. I was not so much into comic books and all. Rather I used to watch ‘Beauty and the Beast’, ‘Mary Poppins’, ‘The Sound of Music’. I loved watching them again and again.”

She finds “a lot of similarity of the genre with ‘Jagga Jasoos’ that Dada (Basu) tried to create. This is one of the films that is meant to have a universal appeal… It’s crafted in that way. But of course, it is quite a task to do that… Catering to a wider audience”.
