Terence Lewis Lauds Katrina Kaif’s Hard Work As He Recalls Her Initial Struggles With Dance Steps; Says, “She Didn’t Have That Figure”

Choreographer Terence Lewis recently reflected on Katrina Kaif’s transformation from a novice dancer to a powerhouse performer in Bollywood. Recalling their early interactions after the release of Boom, Terence shared how Katrina initially struggled with rhythm and dance moves. However, he was astounded by her remarkable progress when he saw her perform in Zara Zara Touch Me from Race (2008).

In an interview with Pinkvilla, Terence said, “I 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 ‘What am I supposed to do?’ And it wasn’t very Bollywood, we kept it more Western, but still, she was struggling with the dance steps. Rhythm was not there”.

However, when Terence saw Katrina’s killer moves in Zara Zara Touch Me from Race (2008) he couldn’t believe it was the same girl he had met. “After Boom, I did a show with her. She didn’t have that figure. And she couldn’t dance the way… When she did Zara Zara Touch Me, I called up Bosco (Martis, choreographer) and said, ‘Is this the same girl, with that figure?’ One of the most hardworking actors, Katrina Kaif. Because she was not a dancer. She wasn’t trained as a dancer. And she was very tall and statuesque, a big built. How she’s worked on her body! How she’s worked on her dance! Commendable,” the choreographer added.

When asked about who he considered the best dancers in Bollywood, Terence mentioned Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai.

On the work front, Katrina Kaif’s last film was Merry Christmas alongside Vijay Sethupathi. The film was released in 2024. While Terence is busy hosting dance reality shows.
