Katrina Kaif is to star in Dhoom 3 and to ensure she is apt enough has started intensive and specialised fitness training for her role.

Katrina says “The sessions are basically to determine what my stamina is like and how much I can take. Which is what is scaring me.” Although not new to fitness these sessions seem to be more intense and she adds “This kind of working out is just too draining. Particularly, when you are not used to that kind of extreme physical strain. Your body ends up feeling worn out. It starts craving…you know…rest and food. After those four hours of working out, I will be like dead for the rest of the day.”

She will be starring alongside Aamir Khan for whom she shows praise “Just look at him. He’s maintained himself so well. It’s amazing. Even Hrithik, he’s always so fit. Women can’t work out so strenuously like that, you know. Our shoulders are not so strong. You ask a woman to do pull-ups and you’ll know,” she said.

“I don’t think my body is very flexible. What if they find I can’t do some of the things required for the scenes? This is a huge challenge; sometimes I don’t know why I sign up for such roles. Why can’t I just stick to the sarees, eat what I want and be happy?” she said with a smile.

Do you think Katrina will pull it off?
