Born on July 16, 1984 Katrina Kaif is one of eight siblings, all girls, from a mother who is a Caucasian of British Nationality, and a father who was formerly from Kashmir, India, but who has since acquired British citizenship.
Katrina grew up in Hawaii, but was brought up in London, UK. She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelery campaign. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.
Continuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie "Boom" offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad.
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.
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.
After delivering an array of hits, Bollywood’s current reigning queen Katrina Kaif has signed a two-film deal with production house UTV that has hits like “Rang De Basanti”, “Khosla Ka Ghosla” and “Jodhaa Akbar” to its credit.The two films, to be released within two years, will be Katrina’s first projects with the production house and she is very excited about the deal.
The actress’ popularity climbed a notch with the success of her Akshay Kumar-starrer film “Singh is Kinng”. She is also considered a lucky mascot for producers.’We are proud to have Katrina in the UTV family. Katrina is one of the most talented and successful actress of the industry today and I am sure that this exciting collaboration is the first step in the wonderful future that lies both for her and for us,’ said Ram Mirchandani, COO, UTV Rampage Motion Pictures.
