In an interaction with Mashable India, Katrina Kaif retrospected about her initial years of career, when she used to pursue modelling. The diva shared how her first intention was always to become a model and acting wasn’t in her list of dreams. Talking about some of the most iconic supermodels whom she considered as her role models back then, Katrina said:
“When I started off as a model in Bombay, my intention was to be a model. My role models were Madhu Sapre and Lakshmi Menon. Those were the supermodels of that time. And even Malaika actually. She was still modelling at that time. They were the women I looked up to. And that's what I wanted to be as a model.”

In another segment of the same interview, Katrina also talked about learning how to ride a bike, for many of her films. For the unversed, the actress is known for pulling off daredevil stunts and performing action scenes in her films. Speaking along the same lines, the actress revealed how she learnt to ride a bike in Bandra, as well as Ducati training school in Spain. In her words:
“I did Zindagi Naa Milega Dobara, that was a road trip to Spain. It is a life changing experience, that’s all I can say. I had learnt a little bit here on Reclamation [Bandra] when you used to be able to ride bikes late night. Then, to just get a little more proficient, they actually sent me to the Ducati training school and in Spain when we were there – like, on the days off – so it kind of took my skill a little bit. After shooting the movie, when I came back to Bombay, I was so into riding bikes!”
For the unversed, Katrina Kaif is happily married to the love of her life, Vicky Kaushal. The duo, who kept their courtship a secret for the longest, tied the knot in December 2021.
