Mumbai, Dec 26 (IANS) Katrina Kaif is garnering a lot of praise for gyrating to item number “Chikni Chameli” in Karan Johar’s forthcoming film “Agneepath”, but the actress says the “lavni” style dancing was not a cakewalk for her.

“The response to ‘Chikni Chameli’ has been fun so far. It was hard work. It was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge…I think we all went for it as a team and did the best we could. I am happy people are liking it,” the 27-year-old actress said here while launching new range of Panasonic airconditioners.

Even actor Salman Khan is smitten by the song and Katrina is happy about this.

“He has not told that to me but I think that’s a great thing. He has a great taste in music and songs. So, if he likes it then it’s great,” said Katrina who featured in two more item numbers in “Shiela ki jawani” and “Bodyguard”.

New Year is round the corner and Katrina is pleased with the way 2011 shaped up for her.

“2011 has been a really great year for me. All the goals I had in hand, I think everything turned out really well. I am very grateful for that…The best I could have wanted to come out of every project has come true this year,” said Katrina who had two releases this year - “Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara” and “Mere Brother Ki Dulhan”.

Katrina has some plum projects in her kitty — she is working on “Ek Tha Tiger” with Salman, “Dhoom 3″ and Yash Chopra’s untitled new venture which is expected to feature Shah Rukh Khan.
