We’ve all heard stories about actors drawing inspiration from various sources. But, for the first time, we have heard of an actress being inspired by an animal. Yes, strange but true. Katrina Kaif says her role in Tees Maar Khan was inspired by a cat. Well, not literally, but Katrina says her role was inspired by the Walt Disney Productions’ The Aristocats — an animated feature of the 70s. Katrina likens her role of Aliya Khan to that of a real cat.
Katrina informs that Aliya Khan, her character in the film is very innocent. “She is a wannabe actress who wants to make it big. She takes everything that people tell her in the literal sense. If they tell her that her make-up is not good, she will go and reapply her make-up. I found many similarities in my role to that of a cat. Especially kittens, they are so cute and innocent. And they have beautiful eyes so my make-up and actions were similar to that of a kitten,” says Katrina.
Well, Katrina’s association with cats is not new. Not long ago, the actress had adopted an abandoned cheetah found in the forests and it was named Catreena.
