She was almost written off when she arrived in Bollywood. Nearly a decade later, with three Yash Raj projects, three reigning Khans as her co-stars and endorsements galore, actress Katrina Kaif says reality is far better than dreams. Katrina, 27, has teamed up with ex-boyfriend Salman Khan in ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, Aamir Khan in ‘Dhoom 3’ and Shah Rukh Khan for an untitled film-all are being made under Yash Raj Films. Not just that. Veteran director Yash Chopra is directing her film with Shah Rukh. “Yashji undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream to work with him and the reality is even better,” said Katrina. YRF’s untitled film is her first project with Shah Rukh. Katrina is bowled over by the superstar’s energy. “Shah Rukh is a thorough gentleman and it is a delight to work with him. I admire the sheer energy, hard work and passion that he puts into his work. It is also nice that my first film with him is a Yash Chopra film; they have done some great work together,” she said. If Katrina is getting into romantic mode with Shah Rukh, she will be doing a lot of action too with Aamir in ‘Dhoom 3’. When Katrina entered Bollywood with the 2003 release ‘Boom’, trade pundits had predicted it was touch and go for her in tinsel town. But she has proved everyone wrong by giving hit after hit. In a span of almost a decade, Katrina has given hits like ‘Maine Pyaar Kyon Kiya?’, ‘Welcome’, ‘Sarkar’, ‘Race’, ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gajab Kahani’, ‘Raajneeti’ and ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’.
