Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif is a prominent and very popular British-Indian model and film actress. She was one of the highest-paid actresses in the Bollywood industry and one of the most attractive personalities in India. She was born as Katrina Turquotte on July 16, 1983, in British Hong Kong to Mohammed Kaif, a business person and Suzanne Kaif, a lawyer, and social service worker. Her parents had a divorce when she was just a child and then her father moved to USA. She grows up without a father by her side, but she never complains and instead, she always feels grateful for all the wonderful things she has. Since then, her mother dedicates her life in working for social causes, which led them to relocate to several countries from time to time. Because of this, she and her seven siblings did a homeschooling with some tutors. She lives in London for three years before she moved to India. She changed her surname to Kaif because it’s easier to pronounce.

At 14, she won a beauty pageant in Hawai and had her very first modeling assignment. Later, she became a professional model in London and appeared in a clothing trade show in London called London Fashion Week.

She also endorsed for popular brands like LG, Samsung, Fevicol and Coca-Cola. She was heavily promoted at the Cannes Film Festival for the film Boom in 2003. However, the film was a critical and commercial failure. Her performance as a supermodel and her poor Hindi and British accent was poorly received and even if she has several modeling assignments, many filmmakers were quite hesitant to cast her in their films because of her poor Hindi diction. She was even replaced in the 2003 Bollywood horror film, Saaya, and the producer called her an ‘inconsistent performer.' That’s when she started to attend Hindi classes.

In 2004, she acted in her first Telugu film, Malliswari, where she played the lead female role.
