Bollywood actor Katrina Kaif visited Pakistan in 2005 for a show in Fortress, Lahore along with Bollywood actor Saif Ali Khan.
The show was organised by Fakhr-e-Alam and sponsored by Warid Telecom. Bombay Rockers, Malkoo and Atif Aslam also rocked at the musical show.
“I liked Lahore very much, it is very similar to Dubai. They love Indian stars and the crowd just went wild out there. They kept thronging and pushing against the stage, so I couldn’t stay on for long,” she stated in an interview,
“People in Lahore are very friendly and warm. I wasn’t there for more than two days, but in that time, I shopped quite a bit, I bought a Western shirt.”
A crowd of 40,000 had turned up for the show, and even VIP passes were of no use as there were too many freeloaders trying to get in.
A-list fashion designer and chat show host Hassan Sheheryar Yasin (HSY) posted a picture with the Dhoom 3 diva on his instagram handle. Katrina visited his studio for her fittings.
The Pehli Si Mohabbat actor mentioned, “When #katrinakaif came to Lahore and to my studio for clothes. And yes, she did come to Lahore. Look it up if it confuses you. I don’t like this picture much of myself but I recall remembering how beautiful she was In real life and how tall. She is lovely to talk to and very sweet. I enjoyed meeting her. The entire team was excited to have her visit the HSY Studio.”
The Tiger Zinda Hai star was basking in the glory of Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya‘s success back then.
