Passion and Obsession are vital for work

Mumbai, November 29: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif, who's awaiting the release of 'Tiger Zinda Hai', said that last year-and-a-half has been very rough and trying for her career.

“I shifted my focus to my personal life and now, it’s back to work because of the turn life has taken. You have to know how to balance things,” she added.

The Jagga Jasoos actress further said “There wasn’t any sense of planning. These are films that happened organically. There were discussions and these are wonderful filmmakers, who were doing films I wanted to do. There’s no point in trying to recreate the past or trying to be nostalgic.”

Kaif's career prospects changed in 2007, when she appeared in four Bollywood hits. After appearing in the Telugu film, Malliswari (2004), Kaif earned commercial success in Bollywood with the romantic comedies Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005) and Namastey London (2007). In an interview, she called Vipul Amrutlal Shah's romantic comedy Namastey London a milestone, saying that "for the first time, she had a dominating role".
