'Chikni Chameli' was not my style: Katrina Kaif

Mumbai: 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.
