B&HGSG News: Katrina Awarded For Excellence In Cinema
(NSI News Source Info) My Desk YYZ - February 4, 2010: "Self-belief is what keeps you going," Bollywood beauty Katrina Kaif said here after being honoured by Assocham for 'Excellence in Performing Art'.
The 25-year-old actress who was recently voted the Sexiest Asian Woman
Alive, was given the award for her contribution to the world of cinema.
"I think everyone wants to make the best of the opportunities you get in life. Everyone has a special place in the world and I think self-belief is the most important thing which keeps you going so you should never lose it," Katrina told reporters here.
The actress, who had delivered hits like Ajab Prem Ki Hazab Kahani, New York and De Dana Dan last year, was to receive the award from Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, but she was not able to turn up because of "political commitments".
Incidentally, Katrina's next film Rajneeti sees her portraying a politician with her role reportedly being based on the political journey of Priyanka's mother and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi.
Katrina, who was wearing a green Saree for the event also highlighted the importance of promoting craftsmanship which is in dire straits in the country.
"I think it is very easy for us to go for things which scream for our attention. If you can sport a craft which can make someone's life beautiful you should do that," Katrina said.
Katrina was to receive the honour on 17th December but it was delayed as she underwent a surgical procedure in Mumbai, due to low hemoglobin level at that time.
