Katrina Kaif is currently gearing up for the impending release of her upcoming film Merry Christmas. Recently, she attended an event of Merry Christmas in Mumbai. During the event, a reporter referred to her as “just a glamour doll” in reference to her role in Tiger 3. However, Katrina responded with grace and defended her portrayal in the Salman Khan-starrer.

Addressing the press, Katrina said, “I see things a little different perhaps. I actually think the character of Zoya is one of the strongest characters I’ve ever had the chance to play. Especially in Tiger 3, it was so nuanced and so well-written by Maneesh Sharma. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to play that character.”
