Katrina Kaif Biography
Towering at 5’8”, with an hour-glass figure, the beautiful and elegant Katrina Kaif stands apart and is not one to go unnoticed.
Katrina was born in Hong Kong to an
Indian Kashmiri father, Mohammed Kaif, and an English mother, Suzanne
Turquotte, both of whom are British citizens. Her parents divorced when
she was very young. Kaif has seven siblings. She was raised in Hawaii
and later moved to her mother’s home country, England.
Katrina began her modelling career in
Hawaii at the age fourteen; her first job was for a jewellery campaign.
She continued modelling in London and did several advertising campaigns,
and even walked the ramp in the London Fashion Week. While in London,
was spotted by Kaizad Gustad, who casted Katrina in his 2003 film, Boom,
which sank without a trace. Movie offers initially trickled in owing
largely to her unfamiliarity with Indian languages. In 2004, she played
the part of Princess Malliswari in the Telugu movie Malliswari, followed by another Telugu film, Allari Pidugu.
Katrina saw moderate success with the 2005 film Sarkar and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), where she was paired opposite Salman Khan. She co-starred with Akshay Kumar in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye, in 2006; the movie flopped but her pairing with Kumar became a super hit jodi.
Five releases marked 2007 for Katrina. Namastey London
with Akshay Kumar was one of the year’s top hits, for which Katrina did
her own dubbing for the first time. The other three movies were Apne with the Deols, David Dhawan’s Partner and Welcome, all of which performed well at the box office.
In 2008, we caught her in two blockbusters- Race and Singh Is Kinng, both of which did well. Her first release for 2009, New York, was also a commercial success. At the year’s end, she appeared in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, with Ranbir Kapoor, and in De Dana Dan. Both films were did well at the box-office.
