Katrina Kaif went into a state of shock recently while shooting for her forthcoming film New York. Stories about the brutality many innocents had to undergo post the 9/11 attacks on America shook up Katrina. Many innocents were detained by the police for questioning for their suspected role in the suicide attacks.he actor was even more saddened when she visited the high security prison for the condemned at Guantanamo Bay for shooting. This visit left Katrina depressed as she learnt how the prisoners lived there as 9/11 detainees.
Katrina says, "We are not making a documentary on 9/11 and so this film is highly entertaining yet very realistic. We shot in actual locations associated with the 9/11 attacks and Guantanamo was one of them. I was there for just a day to shoot my portions. It was shocking to see the high-profile prison where people who were sentenced for their lives were also living."
She adds: "However, I did not meet any person arrested and jailed in connection with the terror attacks. But I have heard stories about them when I was shooting there. Some most wanted criminals have stayed there."
A source close to the film tipped us off that Katrina was quite overwhelmed after her visit. "It's pleasant to shoot at some of the most exotic locations in the world. But when you have to shoot in a dark prison with real criminals confined to life imprisonment or death row, then it's a different thing altogether. For Katrina it was an experience that she will never forget," the source says.
The source adds, "Katrina was amazed that we were making a movie for entertainment but here were prisoners leading a life of confinement completely devoid of entertainment. Kabir (Khan) narrated an actual incident about 9/11 and the prisoners who were detained in Guantanamo bay. That shocked Katrina. She felt that how we live in a very cushioned world, when in reality there is an awful amount of brutality."
