Mumbai: She enjoys immense popularity as a Hindi film celebrity today, but Katrina Kaif says nobody liked her when she was in school.

I was always a shy Cancerian child. I really didn’t speak to anyone. I wasn’t very popular and nobody really liked me in school. My first friend was an Indian boy who was really very nice to me. When I was about 16, then I think I started making friends and started getting more popular, Katrina said on chat show Yaar Mera Superstar.

While she has been in the limelight for her rumoured relationships with actors like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina said that if she has to date a person, one thing she would notice would be his persona and the vibe around him.

You should get a vibe from the person. Also, a guy should smell good, the Namastey London actress said.

Katrina will next be seen onscreen in forthcoming film Fitoor, which is slated to release on February 12.

Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the film also stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Tabu.
