Mini Biography
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. Her mother is now re-settled in Chennai (formerly known as Madras), the Capital of the state of Tamil Nadu in India.
Katrina Kaif spent subsequent years in Hawaii, and then in London, Britain, Katrina Kaif started modeling accidentally when Katrina Kaif was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when Katrina Kaif was approached for a jewelry campaign. Thereafter Katrina Kaif continued modeling in London.
Continuing to model was the reason Katrina Kaif got her break in a Bollywood movie 'Boom' offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad.
Katrina Kaif was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks.
Professionally Katrina Kaif started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, Katrina Kaif received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. Katrina Kaif retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved.
Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as Katrina Kaif states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.
Despite of her positive attitude, Katrina Kaif had been stereotyped as "Indian" by extreme right-wingers in Britain who made it clear that Katrina Kaif did not quite fit-in with their "Blonde" Caucasian culture; while on the other hand in India itself Katrina Kaif had been ranked as an 'outsider' very much like Sonia Gandhi.
Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.
Although linguistically challenged, Katrina puts on a bold face and states that other Bollywood artistes like Sridevi, who did not know Hindi, did get offers from Bollywood film-makers, and Katrina Kaif is no different. Katrina Kaif has taken Hindi and dancing lessons to fit in with the Bollywood culture. Katrina Kaif likes to display a picture of her learning Kathak dancing where Katrina Kaif used to dance 7 hours a day non-stop.
Adorned with soft gorgeous looks, Katrina Kaif is not easily intimidated, but admits that Katrina Kaif is very emotional, sensitive, and concerned about her privacy, Almost an incurable romantic, Katrina Kaif prefers to wear comfortable non-revealing clothes when at home, hates to do her hair, and above all dislikes make-up. Admitting to being lonely in the beginning, but now has several friends who Katrina Kaif can hang out with.
Although her first movie 'Boom' was panned by the critics and shunned by the audiences, two other Telugu movies 'Malliswari' and 'Pidugu' did get her noticed. Katrina Kaif grossed 70 Lakh Rupees for 'Malliswari' - making her top the list of the highest paid actresses during a South Indian movie debut.
Not done with South Indian movies, Katrina Kaif has been signed in a Tamil movie 'Bheema' opposite National Award Winner Vikram.
Katrina Kaif has received decent reviews for her part in "Maine Pyar Kyon Kiya", as well as a brief appearance in 'Sarkar'.
Katrina had made Mumbai her base, didn't mind singing and dancing around trees and as a result is now one of the biggest mega-stars, perhaps one of the highest paid female-lead actresses in Bollywood, and a crowd-puller whenever she makes an appearance for a live song and dance number.
