Speaking to media, the actress confessed that she was unaware about who was roped in to play Kumud before her. She recalls learning about the movie on the sets of Tiger Zinda Hai. The actress was filming for the Ek Tha Tiger sequel with Salman. She added that Priyanka had her own reasons for not doing Bharat. She feels that she was destined to portray the role.

"I am unaware of who was selected before me for Bharat. Ali Abbas had spoken to me regarding the script and role of Bharat when I was shooting Tiger Zinda Hai with Salman Khan," she said.

Katrina added, "Everyone has a different perspective of looking at things. I cannot be in every Salman Khan film. If Priyanka was chosen for this role then she had her own reasons for not doing it. Doing Bharat was written in my destiny and I am happy it came to me. When I read the script I simply loved it and I think this is the best role of mine so far."

Salman has been talking about Priyanka's exit ever since the promotions began. Recently, discussing her exit, the actor said Priyanka's exit was "embarrassing" for him.
