Ranbir is going through a rough patch in his career as his last few films -- "Besharam", "Roy" and "Bombay Velvet" failed to grab eyeballs.
"His movies not doing well is a sad thing. But he gives his heart and soul for a film. I know it hurts and pains him deeply that maybe he is not able to live up to the expectations and satisfy his audience," Katrina told PTI.
The 32-year-old actress is hopeful that Ranbir will bounce back.
"But as an actor, I haven't seen anyone more passionate and focused about his work. It is just a matter of time. Every actor goes through ups and downs. I am sure with his passion, dedication and God's blessing, things will change," she said.
