Neil Nitin Mukesh Shares About Katrina Kaif’s Problem With His Complexion

Actors Neil Nitin Mukesh & Katrina Kaif may have captivated audiences with their on-screen chemistry in the 2009 film New York, but their working bond initially faced challenges behind the scenes. In a recent interview, Neil opened up that they didn’t get along well at first.

He shared, “Pehle din humari mulakat hui toh hum bilkul dost nahi, dushman ban gaye the. Pehla scene humara saath main ho raha tha aur ladayi pe ladayi. Har baat cut kiye ja rahi thi. Kuch na kuch problem tha toh main bhi pooche ja raha hoon ki problem hai kya? (When we met on the first day, we became enemies. We were shooting our first scene together, and we kept fighting. She kept cutting me off. I kept asking what the problem was)."

He further stated, “Phir maaloon pada ki mere rang se kuch unko problem thi. Phir kisi kirdaar se, jis kisam se main usse kar raha tha. Toh kuch na kuch woh masti kar rahi thi mere saath aur main wahan pe bohot naraaz ho raha tha kyuki main aa raha tha ek intense Johnny Gaddaar se (I heard that she had an issue with my complexion. Then I heard she had an issue with how I played my character. She kept doing this and I became angry as I had already worked on an intense film)”. The actor elaborated that he kept wondering why, even after giving his best performance, things weren’t working out.

Neil also shared an incident when Katrina scolded him after he had just completed one shot. He decided to confront her directly and clear up the misunderstanding. It was revealed later on that Katrina wasn’t angry at Neil but rather nervous, as she was more accustomed to doing comedy films. This realization helped them to solve their differences and they eventually bonded well.
