Katrina Kaif, one of the most sought after actresses in Bollywood,debuted with a bang through "Boom", a movie about models getting
caught up with the underworld. Though the movie bombed, people
couldn't easily forget her angelic face and voluptuous figure.
Not many have gained the fans and popularity as a new entrant as
Katrina has done.
Katrina is half Indian and half British. Her father is an NRI
and her mother is English, which makes her poor at Hindi.
Initially critics were very harsh on her for her poor Hindi. But
she has worked hard on it and started taking dancing
lessons - both very essential to survive in the industry. Now she
has started dubbing on her own. She has done few movies down
south and is a popular face there already.
She has done two Telugu movies - Malliswari(2004) and Allari Pidugu(2005) and
a Malayalam film (Balram vs. Taradas). In 2005 she starred in
"Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya" opposite Salman Khan and Ram Gopal
Varma's "Sarkar". "Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye" with Akshay Kumar
followed.
Katrina was born on July 16, 1984, in Hong Kong, grew up in
Hawaii and then moved to London. Even at the young age of 14,
she got modeling offers and started out by modeling for a
jewelry campaign. She was attracted to her father's native land
and the moment she landed in India she was flooded with modeling
assignments.
She started off with photographer Atul Kasbekar. Later she got
offers from Lakme, LG, Cola, Fevicol, Pantene, Veet, Kodak, and
L'Oreal. She was chosen as the face of the year for the Lakme
India Fashion Week (2005). The Lakme commercial made her very
popular. Soon Kaizad Gustad, the director of "Boom" noticed her
and offered her a role in the film. Since it was the role of a
model, she promptly agreed.
Although she wears bold outfits on films and ads, she is very
particular about her clothes and she feels more comfortable in
not-so-revealing clothes in personal life. And unlike others in
her field she absolutely hates wearing make up.
Although she has been seeing Salman Khan for some time now, she
still refuses to talk about him in the media. She has made it
clear that her personal life is not meant to be known to all and
that no one has a right to pass any kind of judgement on it.
She has lots of exciting projects lined up. One of them is
"Partner" with boyfriend Salman Khan and Govinda. She is also
doing "Apne" in which real life father and sons Dharmendra,
Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol all star together, for
the first time. Then there is Anees Bazmee's "Welcome" with
Akshay Kumar. Another film with Akshay Kumar "Namaste, London"
is all set to release on March.
