Directed by Siddharth Anand, Bachna Ae Haseeno starred Ranbir Kapoor as a notorious playboy who is known for breaking hearts.

The revelation sheds light on Katrina’s early days in Bollywood, where she faced scepticism and doubt from naysayers who questioned her potential for success in the industry.
Katrina said: “I have so many memories of people telling me to my face that you will not make it, you cannot succeed.”
Despite the setbacks, Katrina Kaif persevered and went on to carve a niche for herself, delivering acclaimed performances and cementing her status as one of Bollywood’s leading actresses.
