Britain-born model-turned-actress Katrina Kaif has improvised her acting skills and accent since her debut in the 2003 dud "Boom" to such an extent that she is bagging praise for her work from her directors like Kabir Khan and Prakash Jha.

Khan had praised Katrina's performance in his hit "New York" and told: "Katrina has done a wonderful job in the film...she has been a revelation".

Jha had also praised the actress for her confident Hindi speech and accent in his forthcoming film "Rajneeti" saying, "Katrina Kaif is such a revelation."

Asked about it, the 24-year-old said: "That's the kind of compliment coming from both National Award winning directors...it's both charming and sweet. I am just putting in my best."
