Katrina revealed promoting Merry Christmas, her forthcoming flick, “When I first started out in Bombay (Mumbai), my ambition was to be a model. My idols were Madhu Sapre and Lakshmi Menon, they were the supermodels of that time, and even Malaika (Arora). She was into modeling at that time. They were the women I ever looked up to.”

In hopes of landing a job at any of the advertising companies in Mumbai, Katrina made a list of those that she would visit. She said, “At that point, I used to make a list of all the big ad agencies or all the ad agencies that were there in Bombay. I used to hop onto a taxi and go to them one by one. I have done many fake sabun (soap) ads. I am very good at that. I always got the sabun ads. The ad which I didn’t get was the ad which required me to play Kabaddi. I didn’t know what Kabaddi was.”

Katrina was able to obtain multiple advertisements through her hard effort. However, Katrina shot her very first advertisement with Thalapathy Vijay. She revealed, “The first ad that I did was with Vijay sir. It was an ad for a soft drink and I was playing a ballerina and I could not dance to save my life, and my friend who later saw the ad told me, ‘You were the world’s clumsiest ballerina in that ad’.”

As Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas nearing release, Katrina is getting ready for it. The trailer for the movie had just been released by the producers, and the public reacted favorably to it. The movie, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi in the title role, will be released on January 12, 2024.
