She enjoys immense popularity as a Hindi film celebrity today, but Katrina Kaif says nobody liked her when she was in school.

"I was always a shy Cancerian child. I really didn't speak to anyone. I wasn't very popular and nobody really liked me in school. My first friend was an Indian boy who was really very nice to me. When I was about 16, then I think I started making friends and started getting more popular,` Katrina said on chat show `Yaar Mera Superstar`.

While she has been in the limelight for her rumoured relationships with actors like Salman Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina said that if she has to date a person, one thing she would notice would be his persona and the vibe around him.

`You should get a vibe from the person. Also, a guy should smell good,` the `Namastey London` actress said.

Katrina will next be seen onscreen in forthcoming film `Fitoor`, which is slated to release on February 12.

Directed by Abhishek Kapoor, the film also stars Aditya Roy Kapur and Tabu.
