Titanic (1997) has been the epic romance and disaster movie directed by James Cameron. The movie has been one of the critically acclaimed and commercially successful movie of its time. The star casts, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio got the global stardom with this movie.
In one of the recent interview, Kate said that she was overwhelmed when an old man in the Himalayas recognized her as Rose from Titanic during her trip to India. She said that the moment made her emotional. Kate played the role of Rose DeWitt Bukater alongside Leonardo (Jack Dawson).
“Titanic was everywhere. A couple of years after it came out, I went to India. I was walking in the foothills of the Himalayas, just me with my backpack on my back and a man came towards me with a walking stick- he must have been 85 and was blind in one eye. He looked at me and said, ‘You- Titanic.’ I said yes and he just put his hand on his heart and said, ‘Thank You.’ I burst into tears. It really helped me understand how much that film had given to so many people,” she told Candis magazine.
She added that she is proud of the James Cameron directed movie, but the ‘huge success’ made her uncomfortable. “I was leading quite a public life, which I was not prepared for at all. All of a sudden, people were looking at me, talking about me- I would read or hear things about me which were just untrue. I’m only human and that hurt!
“My twenties were a bit of a roller coaster, in fact, with some amazing times but some hard times too. These days I look back and think, Whew- I went through all of that?” she said.
She is currently filming for her next project ‘Avatar 2’(2021).
