Bollywood Beauty Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif was born on 16 July 1983) is an English actress who works in Hindi films. She has established herself in Bollywood and is one of India’s highest-paid actresses.

She was born in Hong Kong, Katrina Kaif and her family lived in several countries before she moved to London. She received her first modeling assignment as a teenager and later pursued a career as a fashion model. At a fashion show in London, filmmaker Kaizad Gustad spotted her and decided to cast her in Bollywood film Boom in 2003, which became a critical and commercial failure. While filming in India, Katrina Kaif received modeling assignments and established a successful modeling career. However, filmmakers were hesitant to cast her due to her poor command of Hindi. After appearing in the Telugu film, Malliswari in 2004, She earned commercial success in Bollywood with the romantic comedies Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya in 2005 and Namaste London in 2007 followed with a series of box-office hits but was criticized for her acting, repetitive roles and inclination to male-dominated films.

Katrina Kaif’s performance in the terrorism drama New York in 2009 was better received, earning her a Filmfare Award for Best Actress nomination. After starring roles in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani in 2009, Raajneeti in 2010, and Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara in 2011, she received her second Filmfare nomination for her performance in Mere Brother Ki Dulhan in 2011. Katrina Kaif’s highest-grossing films came with the action thrillers Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Dhoom 3 (2013), and Bang Bang! (2014), all of which rank among the highest-grossing Indian films. She followed this with roles in a series of films that did not perform well commercially, with the exception of the action sequel Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) and the drama Bharat (2019), but received praise for playing an alcoholic actress in the romantic drama Zero (2018), for which she received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress.

In addition to acting, Kaif is involved with her mother’s charity and participates in stage shows. She is guarded about her personal life, which is a subject of media scrutiny, as is her background.

Katrina Kaif’s personal life has been the subject of extensive media attention. She is reluctant to discuss her romantic life: “I have always believed that there is life before marriage and after marriage. Before marriage … you are termed a single woman and I choose to conduct that part of my life with absolute dignity and discretion”. Although rumors of a relationship with Salman Khan first emerged in 2003, it was not until after their 2010 breakup that Kaif spoke of it, calling it her first serious relationship. They have remained friends, and the actress credits Salman Khan with giving her confidence and guidance.

The reported reason for their breakup was Katnira Kaif’s increasing closeness to Ranbir Kapoor during the filming of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani. Although this was denied by both of them, the nature of their relationship was scrutinized by the media because they were thought to be involved with others at the time. In August 2013, photographs of Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif on holiday in Ibiza were leaked by Stardust; the media interpreted this as confirmation of an affair. After the appearance of the photos, Katrina Kaif published an open letter to the media saying that she was “upset, distressed and invaded” by the breach of privacy. She later acknowledged Kapoor as “an extremely important part of [her] life”. In February 2016, the media reported that they had broken up.

She has a close relationship with her family, and the lack of a father figure in her life has given her a sense of responsibility towards them. While her mother is Christian and her father is Muslim, she was brought up to practice all faiths and says she is a “firm believer in God”.

According to an India Today article, despite her dissimilarity to a conventional Bollywood heroine, Katrina Kaif “turned every adversity into opportunity and climbed the slippery pole of stardom”. Although she is one of the most commercially successful actresses in contemporary Bollywood, she has received mixed reviews for her acting prowess. Writing for Firstpost, Anuya Jakatdar wrote that she needed to “take on roles that actually challenge her” instead of “coasting on her co-star’s box office appeal” and criticized her inclination towards glamorous roles. Her dancing ability is better appreciated, with Meena Iyer of The Times of India calling her “one of Bollywood’s best dancers”. Katrina Kaif’s Bollywood success has sparked an influx of foreign talent hoping to establish themselves in the industry.

She is cited in the media as one of India’s most beautiful celebrities and has ranked highly in polls choosing the most attractive Indian celebrities. She was named the “World’s Sexiest Woman” by FHM India five times from 2008 to 2013 and appeared on Verve’s list of most powerful women in 2009 and 2010. The UK magazine Eastern Eye called her the “Sexiest Asian Woman” from 2008 to 2010, and again in 2013. She was named The Times of India’s “Most Desirable Woman” in 2010 and was later ranked second from 2011 to 2013. The Indian edition of People described her as “India’s Most Beautiful Woman” in 2011 and three years later she topped Maxim India’s “Hot 100” poll.

She is a celebrity spokesperson for a number of brands including Slice, Nakshatra, Lux, Panasonic, Lakmé, and L’Oréal. The Economic Times ranked her India’s second most prominent endorser in 2012. Hindustan Times reported in 2014 that she received ₹50 million (US$700,000) to ₹60 million (US$840,000) for each endorsement, making her one of India’s highest-paid celebrity endorsers. In 2013, she was ranked ninth on Forbes’ list of India’s best-known entertainers with an estimated annual income of ₹637.5 million (US$8.9 million). In 2010 and 2011, Mattel released two sets of Barbie dolls inspired by her. In 2015, Kaif became the eighth Bollywood actor to have a wax figure installed at Madame Tussauds in London.
