Katrina Kaif Plays Dumb!

A dumb girl who has trouble controlling her emotions, she is hysterical and others find her over-blown problems funny. So much for this young actress, but don’t get shocked. This is only Katrina’s character sketch in one of her forthcoming movies.

Katrina Kaif portrays a young, clueless catholic girl who is from Mumbai. She gets too emotional at times, suffers from hysteria, gives herself too much importance and all her problems seem big to her while others simply laugh at it. In a nutshell, she plays a stupid, superficial character in the comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani , where she is paired opposite Ranbir Kapoor .

Well, director Rajkumar Santoshi has put her to the ultimate litmus test as it wasn’t easy for Katrina to act like a silly, dumb person who is capable of evoking laughter. Though Katrina’s career graph shows many hit comedies, the actress still has to prove that she’s got a few funny bones in her hot bod.

And since comedy is a serious business, Kat did have her share of troubles while enacting the character. But Santoshi drew examples from his yesteryear superhit, ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, and taught her comic acts that even involved rolling her eyes.On the contrary, Ranbir who has acting in his blood, working in ‘Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani’ was a smooth sail. He plays a boy with a good heart but clumsy actions. He stumbles, he staggers and that makes him humorous. As reported, his character is “a satirical synthesis of Raj Kapoor’s ‘Awara’ and Charlie Chaplin’s ‘City Lights’.”
