When we heard that Katrina Kaif has taken to the beaches of Phuket like a fish takes to water, we immediately pictured her in an Ursula Andress avatar from the enduring ’60s Bond film, Dr No. However the actor’s motive behind hitting the beach have been to take a look at out the watersports on offer, and get in
shape for action thriller, Dhoom 3.
With three big films lined up separately (Ek Tha Tiger opposite Salman Khan, Dhoom 3 opposite Aamir Khan, and a Yash Raj project with Shah Rukh Khan), Katrina is, perhaps, at her busiest. So, she’s taking advantage of her time in Thailand, where she is currently shooting for Ek Tha Tiger.
An insider tells us that Kat, who learnt to scuba dive to play a diving instructor in Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011), have been brushing up on her skills in Phuket. She may be trying her hand at other activities the beach town has to supply. The source says, “At this time of the year, there are great adventure sport options corresponding to sea kayaking and snorkelling in Phuket. Katrina enjoys them all, so she goes off to the beach by herself after pack-up.”
The insider adds, “Watersports help her relax, and function a workout.” The actor will soon leave for a 40-day shoot schedule in London for the Yash Raj film. Then, she is going to begin Dhoom 3, for which she's going to have to be at her fittest. So, a little of watersports appears to be just what the doctor ordered. The actor herself was unavailable for comment.
