“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.

Katrina talked about learning how to ride bikes for the first time in her life

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!”
