Katrina Kaif has established herself as a great dancer<\/a><\/strong> in the movies but in the early days, she really struggled with the art form. In a recent interview, choreographer Terence Lewis recalled the time when he met Katrina after her debut film Boom and did not find her to be a great dancer<\/a><\/strong> but when saw her in the Race song \u201cZara Zara Touch Me\u201d, he was shocked. He also added that Katrina worked on her body and dancing skills excessively to deliver some of the best songs of her career.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter Boom, I did a show with her. She didn\u2019t have that figure. And she couldn\u2019t dance the way\u2026 When she did \u2018Zara Zara Touch Me\u2019, I called up Bosco (Martis, choreographer) and said, \u2018Is this the same girl, with that figure?\u2019 One of the most hardworking actors, Katrina Kaif<\/a>. Because she was not a dancer. She wasn\u2019t trained as a dancer. And she was very tall and statuesque, a big built. How she\u2019s worked on her body! How she\u2019s worked on her dance! Commendable,\u201d said Terence.<\/p>\n

In the interview with Pinkvilla, Terence recalled how he had a very different experience when he worked with her after Boom. \u201cI remember her coming to my studio way back when Boom had just released. She was doing a diamond jewellery show. We were trying to teach her. She was also very young, fresh to India, very like \u2018What am I supposed to do?\u2019 And it wasn\u2019t very Bollywood, we kept it more Western, but still, she was struggling with the dance steps. Rhythm was not there,\u201d said Terence.<\/p>\n

In an earlier interview with Bollywood Bubble, Katrina recalled her initial struggles with dance and said, \u201cI could not dance. It\u2019s not that they said that about me. No, I couldn\u2019t dance. That was a fact. They were just stating the very obvious fact that was in front of them. I\u2019ve said it many times before.\u201d<\/p>\n

She credited Bosco with her success with dance and said, \u201cBosco was the first person to\u2026 I don\u2019t why or what he saw. Bosco was the first person to explain to me or talk to me. Because I was convinced that I was not a good dancer and I was never going to be a good dancer and I couldn\u2019t dance and that was coming across. Bosco told me that you are a good dancer. You have it in you but you have things to work on.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katrina is now known for her dance songs like \u201cSheila Ki Jawani\u201d, \u201cChikni Chameli\u201d, \u201cKamli\u201d, \u201cKaala Chashma\u201d among others.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
