Katrina Kaif had a few success secrets to share on Wednesday when she was awarded for excellence in performing arts.

The 25-year-old Bollywood actress of many hit movies was given the award by Assocham (Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India) for her contribution to the world of cinema.

Though she arrived 3 hours late to receive the award, Katrina was profusely apologetic and shared her secret mantra.

“I think everyone wants to make the best of the opportunities you get in life. Everyone has a special place in the world and I think self-belief is the most important thing which keeps you going so you should never lose it,” Katrina told reporters in New Delhi.

The Chief Minister in fact mumbled on stage that his presence was not required with Katrina around. Prakash Jha admits it wasn’t easy coaching Katrina to speak a few line in Bhojpuri. “But it worked, and how. Katrina had the whole of Bihar eating out of her hands. It was so unexpected from someone who has the reputation of barely managing her Hindi,” chuckles Jha.

On Tuesday afternoon Katrina along with her Rajneeti co-stars Arjun Rampal and Manoj Bajpai flew into Patna in a private jet hired by Prakash Jha. They headed straight from the airport to Jha’s residence in the suburbs. As soon as news spread that Katrina was visiting Jha’s residence, hundreds of fans from Patna and the outskirts gathered around the house.

Says Prakash, “Katrina had no idea of her popularity in Bihar. She has a very deep connect with audiences. She has the kind of image that Hema Malini has. Not one cheap remark, no jostling crowds, no. They now call her Bihar Ki Beti.”

Katrina, Arjun and Manoj flew back to Mumbai late Tuesday night. Prakash Jha intends to hold the premiere of Rajneeti in Patna instead of Mumbai. He’ll fly the who’s who of Mumbai to Patna for the occasion.
