Bangalore, May 10 (PTI) Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif has said she is personally "inspired" by Congress President Sonia Gandhi and would "jump at an opportunity" if offered to play her in a film. "I think what she (Sonia) has achieved is incredible. It is a great inspiration," said the actress, who was in the city to promote her latest film ''Rajneeti'', a political drama slated for a June 4 release. The model-turned actress, whose father is of Indian origin and mother British, said Gandhi is an important person, and she would love to play her role. "I would jump at such an opportunity", she said if offered to play the part. Asked to name an ideal politician, she identified the Congress President. "But it is more as a woman and her life than a politician," said Katrina, who grew abroad but has swept the Indian audience with her films despite her smattering Hindi. Katrina plays the role of Indu Sakseria in ''Raajneeti'', whose personal happiness is dependent on changing electoral fortunes of her love interest and even a slight shift in the fault line of political negotiation would cause a devastating consequence in her personal life. She rejected media speculation that her role in the Prakash Jha-directed film has any resemblance to Gandhi. The 25-year-old actress said she plays the role of a normal girl who is brash and spoilt and immature and goes through a journey in life where she is forced to grow up. The actress said that she takes interest in politics, but hardly understands it. "Interested in politics, yes I am, but do I understand? No, I don''t", said the actress. Politics, she said, was in some way like poverty. "You are interested, you wish you could do something about it, but don''t know where to start. It was a world far beyond my comprehension", she said adding that it needed to be "gifted" in this field to succeed. Katrina admitted she was more comfortable speaking in English, but was working "step by step" on her Hindi as well. "I know I have an accent, but I am working on it and trying to improve it with every film," she said. The actress did not appear apprehensive at all about her role in a political drama. Going by the success of her film ''New York'', which she was initially apprehensive of, she was sure that her fans would accept her in such a role in the film ''Raajneeti''.
