Actor recalled her trip to India after playing the character of Rose DeWitt Bukater in James Cameron’s blockbuster

Kate Winslet was recognised as Rose from ‘Titanic’, in the Himalayas

Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in ‘Titanic’ Hollywood star Kate Winslet says she was overwhelmed when an old man in the Himalayas recognised her as Rose from Titanic during her trip to India. The 44-year-old actor, who starred alongside Leonardo DiCaprio (Jack Dawson) in the 1997 blockbuster as Rose DeWitt Bukater, said the moment made her emotional. 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’. It really helped me understand how much that film had given to so many people,” Winslet told Candis magazine. The actor said 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. These days I look back and think, ‘Whew — I went through all of that?”’ she said.
