Childhood and youth
The actress was born in Hong Kong to an Indian father, Mohammed Kaif, and an Englishwoman, Suzanne Turcotte. My father owned his own business, my mother worked as a lawyer, while simultaneously devoting time to charity. The family is large by today's standards - Katrina has six sisters and a brother.
Actress Katrina Kaif
When the girl was still just a child, her parents decided to separate. Dad went to America and took almost no part in raising his heirs. In an interview, the actress admits that as a child she was often jealous of those peers who had fathers.
Over time, my mother became more and more involved in social work; together with her children, the woman wandered around different countries - they lived in Japan and China, in France and England, Switzerland and even in Hawaii. And these are only those states where the family stayed for more than a year. We stayed in a number of countries for a couple of months. Because of this lifestyle, children learned the basics of high school at home.
Katrina Kaif in childhood
From an early age, the girl was particularly dreamy and came up with a bunch of incredible stories that she told to her sisters and brothers. Her interests included music and she watched musicals with admiration. I adored wonderful fairy tales brought to the screen by directors and animators; I watched “Mary Poppins” and “Beauty and the Beast” dozens of times.
Excerpt characterizing Kaif, Katrina
– I am very pleased, Your Excellency. “We are all not without weaknesses,” said Kutuzov, smiling and moving away from him. “He had a devotion to Bacchus. The regimental commander was afraid that he was to blame for this, and did not answer anything. The officer at that moment noticed the captain’s face with a red nose and a tucked belly and imitated his face and pose so closely that Nesvitsky could not stop laughing. Kutuzov turned around. It was clear that the officer could control his face as he wanted: the minute Kutuzov turned around, the officer managed to make a grimace, and after that take on the most serious, respectful and innocent expression. The third company was the last, and Kutuzov thought about it, apparently remembering something. Prince Andrei stepped out from his retinue and said quietly in French: “You ordered a reminder of the demoted Dolokhov in this regiment.” -Where is Dolokhov? – asked Kutuzov. Dolokhov, already dressed in a soldier’s gray overcoat, did not wait to be called. The slender figure of a blond soldier with clear blue eyes stepped out from the front. He approached the commander-in-chief and put him on guard. - Claim? – Kutuzov asked, frowning slightly. “This is Dolokhov,” said Prince Andrei. - A! - said Kutuzov. “I hope this lesson will correct you, serve well.” The Lord is merciful. And I will not forget you if you deserve it. Blue, clear eyes looked at the commander-in-chief as defiantly as at the regimental commander, as if with their expression they were tearing apart the veil of convention that so far separated the commander-in-chief from the soldier. “I ask one thing, Your Excellency,” he said in his sonorous, firm, unhurried voice. “Please give me a chance to make amends for my guilt and prove my devotion to the Emperor and Russia.” Kutuzov turned away. The same smile in his eyes flashed across his face as when he turned away from Captain Timokhin. He turned away and winced, as if he wanted to express that everything that Dolokhov told him, and everything that he could tell him, he had known for a long, long time, that all this had already bored him and that all this was not at all what he needed . He turned away and headed towards the stroller. The regiment disbanded in companies and headed to assigned quarters not far from Braunau, where they hoped to put on shoes, dress and rest after difficult marches. – You don’t lay claim to me, Prokhor Ignatyich? - said the regimental commander, driving around the 3rd company moving towards the place and approaching Captain Timokhin, who was walking in front of it. The regimental commander’s face expressed uncontrollable joy after a happily completed review. - The royal service... it’s impossible... another time you’ll end it at the front... I’ll apologize first, you know me... I thanked you very much! - And he extended his hand to the company commander. - For mercy's sake, general, do I dare! - answered the captain, turning red with his nose, smiling and revealing with a smile the lack of two front teeth, knocked out by the butt under Ishmael. - Yes, tell Mr. Dolokhov that I will not forget him, so that he can be calm. Yes, please tell me, I kept wanting to ask how he is, how he is behaving? And that's all... - Very serviceable in his service, Your Excellency... but the charterer... - said Timokhin. - What, what character? – asked the regimental commander. “Your Excellency finds, for days,” said the captain, “that he is smart, learned, and kind.” It's a beast. He killed a Jew in Poland, if you please... “Well, yes, well,” said the regimental commander, “we must still feel sorry for the young man in misfortune.” After all, great connections... So you’re the one... “I’m listening, your Excellency,” Timokhin said, smiling, making it feel like he understood the boss’s wishes. - Yes Yes. The regimental commander found Dolokhov in the ranks and reined in his horse. “Before the first task, epaulets,” he told him. Dolokhov looked around, said nothing and did not change the expression of his mockingly smiling mouth. “Well, that’s good,” continued the regimental commander. “The people each have a glass of vodka from me,” he added so that the soldiers could hear. – Thank you everyone! God bless! - And he, overtaking the company, drove up to another. “Well, he’s really a good man; “You can serve with him,” said subaltern Timokhin to the officer walking next to him. “One word, the king of hearts!... (the regimental commander was nicknamed the king of hearts),” the subaltern officer said, laughing. The happy mood of the authorities after the review spread to the soldiers. The company walked cheerfully. Soldiers' voices were talking from all sides. - What did they say, crooked Kutuzov, about one eye? - Otherwise, no! Totally crooked. - No... brother, he has bigger eyes than you. Boots and tucks - I looked at everything... - How he, my brother, looks at my feet... well! I think... - And the other Austrian, with him, was as if smeared with chalk. Like flour, white. I tea, how they clean ammunition! - What, Fedeshow!... did he say that when the fighting began, you stood closer? They all said that Bunaparte himself stands in Brunovo. - Bunaparte is worth it! he's lying, you fool! What he doesn’t know! Now the Prussian is rebelling. The Austrian, therefore, pacifies him. As soon as he makes peace, then war will open with Bunaparte. Otherwise, he says, Bunaparte is standing in Brunovo! That's what shows that he's a fool. Listen more. - Look, damn the lodgers! The fifth company, look, is already turning into the village, they will cook porridge, and we still won’t reach the place. - Give me a cracker, damn it. - Did you give me tobacco yesterday? That's it, brother. Well, here we go, God be with you. “At least they stopped, otherwise we won’t eat for another five miles.” “It was nice how the Germans gave us strollers.” When you go, know: it’s important! “And here, brother, the people have gone completely rabid.” Everything there looked as if it were a Pole, everything belonged to the Russian crown; and now, brother, he’s gone completely German. – Songwriters forward! – the captain’s cry was heard. And twenty people ran out from different rows in front of the company. The drummer began to sing and turned his face to the songwriters, and, waving his hand, began a drawn-out soldier’s song, which began: “Isn’t it dawn, the sun has broken...” and ended with the words: “Then, brothers, there will be glory for us and Kamensky’s father...” This song was composed in Turkey and was now sung in Austria, only with the change that in place of “Kamensky’s father” the words were inserted: “Kutuzov’s father.”
Model
Tall beauty Katrina Kaif began her career as a model. The girl was only 14 years old when she won the Hawaiian beauty pageant.
Model Katrina Kaif
A jewelry company entered into a contract with the promising fashion model, and a little later she moved to the British capital and set off to conquer the catwalks at a professional level. The girl was invited to regularly demonstrate the work of famous designers at London Fashion Week.
"Once Upon a Time There Was a Tiger"
In 2012, Kaif played in Kabir Khan's spy action film There Was a Tiger. In this film, Katrina Kaif, whose photo by this time adorns all the major Indian fashion magazines, plays the assistant of a famous scientist named Zoya.
It is through her that the careless bachelor and loser Manish is trying to get to the professor, at least that’s what all his friends think. In fact, he is the most dangerous agent of Indian intelligence agencies. He will have to check on a scientist, a rocket engineer, whom the Indian government suspects of having ties to Pakistan. As often happens in films starring Kaif, passion flares up between her and the main character, which can interfere with the completion of a dangerous task.
Movies
At one of the fashion shows, the charming mestizo woman was noticed by film director Kaizad Gustad. The girl received a tempting offer to star in a feature film that the British were launching together with the Indians. Katrina, of course, happily agreed and went to India, where the filming took place.
In 2003, the erotic film “Boom” was released, where yesterday’s model, and today an aspiring actress, met with Indian cinema stars Jackie Shroff and Amitabh Bachchan. However, critics and audiences did not appreciate the debut.
Katrina Kaif in the movie "Boom"
However, the colorful girl attracted the attention of other directors and decided to stay in India, where she combined her acting profession with modeling - she decorated advertising campaigns for major global brands. 2005 was a breakthrough year for Katrina Kaif in her film career. The girl played in three films at once, among them “How I Loved,” which became a hit. The actress was named “Discovery of the Year”, presented with the Max Stardust Award, and was invited to Bollywood.
The directors showered the young lady with offers. The year 2007 was successful, when Katrina shone in four films. The comedy “Partner” brought in unimaginable receipts, on the set of which Salman Khan, Govinda, and Lara Dutta gathered. In this production, Kaif got the role of the boss; in her role, the girl filled the film with lightness and freshness. It is noteworthy that “Partner” is a remake of the Hollywood comedy “Rules of Filming: The Hitch Method,” but the Indians’ work surpassed the original.
Katrina Kaif in the movie Look Again
Katrina Kaif rapidly replenished her personal collection of best roles and films. In 2008, her creative baggage adorned the image of the secretary and mistress of two brothers in the film “Race”, where she worked with Saif Ali Khan and Akshay Khanna. After that, she played the main role in “King Singh,” which was called Katrina’s sixth successful film.
A year later, Kaif reincarnated as student Maya, the bride of a terrorist in New York. The role was easy because her character faced racial prejudice in the same way as the actress herself when she lived in England. For this film, Katrina was nominated for the first time for the main Indian Filmfare Award. She ended the year with another successful film, “An Amazing Story of a Strange Love” - the audience was delighted with the performance of their favorite actress paired with Ranbir Kapoor.
The directors adored Katrina for her perseverance in achieving her goals. For a long time, the girl was dubbed by her colleagues because she did not speak Hindi. But soon she started talking, and at the same time began to independently perform national dances on camera. So, in 2012 she performed brilliantly with a dance number in the film “The Fiery Path”.
In the following years, the actress transformed herself into everyone. Katrina had the opportunity to play a Pakistani intelligence agent (“There Was One Tiger”), a circus star (“Bikers 3”), a bank employee who steals a diamond (“That Very Day”). In Abhishek Kapoor's production of Possession, she even had to dye her hair bright red.
Katrina Kaif in the movie "Tiger Lives"
One day, a girl was lucky enough to star with Yasha Chopra, who in Bollywood is called the king of romance. The director knows how to present heroines in a favorable light. Katrina Kaif dreamed of working with Chopra, and such a chance arose - she, along with Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma, appeared in his film “While I Live,” which earned three tens of millions of dollars at the box office, becoming an undisputed hit.
2017 did not bring satisfaction to the actress, although viewers received two film works with Katrina’s participation. The action film “The Tiger Lives” and “Detective Jagga” failed to recoup the money spent on filming.
Big screen debut
Katrina Kaif first appeared on the big screen in 2003 in the film Boom.
It is noteworthy that in the early films all her roles were duplicated due to the fact that she did not know the Indian language well. Later this problem was solved.
Her first notable work was the David Dhwan comedy How I Loved It. This is a Bollywood remake of the 1969 American film Cactus Flower.
The main character is Sameer Malhotra, played by Salman Khan, a successful doctor. Moreover, he strives not only to cure his patients, but also to improve their state of mind. As a result, many patients are in love with him. After all, he is still young.
Only his assistant Neina is indifferent to him, at least outwardly; this role went to Sushmita Sen. Her responsibilities as a secretary include not only the schedule of patients and operations, but also the time and place of the boss’s meetings.
The doctor leads a dissolute lifestyle until he meets Sonia, a young model. She is played by Katrina Kaif. Films with her participation always enchant the audience and actors on set. So this time, the main character is convinced that she is exactly the woman he needs, and decides to radically change his destiny.
Personal life
Of course, the personal life of the Bollywood beauty is under close attention of the press. In 2003, journalists enthusiastically informed readers about Katrina’s affair with film and television star Salman Khan.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif
Later, the girl admitted that for the first time in her life she had serious feelings for a man and was grateful for his enormous support. The experienced artist encouraged the aspiring star professionally: when things got hard, he convinced him to get up and overcome the difficulties of his chosen field.
The fans rejoiced for seven years. It almost came to a wedding, at least Salman proposed his hand and heart to his beloved. But the actress refused, citing the fact that for now her career is more important than family life.
Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif
A few months before the official separation, the actress starred in the film “An Amazing Strange Love Story” and during the work she was fascinated by Ranbir Kapoor. But fans did not know about the couple’s warm relationship until 2013. Then the press appeared photographs taken by the paparazzi during the actors' joint vacation. Rumors spread that the young people were engaged.
After another three years, the star couple broke the hearts of fans by announcing their separation, although they had already been sharing life between two for a year. Until now, the girl has not been seen in another romantic relationship.
The third side
While both actors are trying to live as if nothing happened, there is a person who is worried about their future - Katrina's failed mother-in-law, Ranbir's mother Neetu Kapoor. She took the couple’s breakup quite hard, and now she is not at all happy with her son’s new status: a bachelor, according to rumors, turning into a notorious womanizer.
Therefore, Neetu Kapoor decided to act actively and decided to arrange Ranbir’s personal life herself. A close family source told BollywoodLife that Mrs. Kapoor is looking for a bride for her son. She wants Ranbir to finally settle down and think beyond his film career.
The actor himself took this calmly and confirmed that he is not against starting a family (and is even ready to consider candidates “from his mother” for this purpose). But subject to two conditions: no more affairs with actresses and complete secrecy of personal life. Is this possible in the context of Bollywood realities? Let's see.
Katrina Kaif now
In the summer of 2020, filming began on a new film starring Katrina Kaif, “Bandits from Hindostan.” The ensemble cast also includes Indian screen stars Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan.
Katrina Kaif in 2018
The film crew of the historical adventure film directed by Vijay Krishna Acharya is touring Malta and Thailand. Spectators will be presented with colorful sea battles, no worse than in “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and vibrant dance numbers. The film's budget is $33 million. The world premiere of "Bandits from Hindostan" is in cinemas in mid-autumn 2018.
"Life can not be boring"
“Life Can't Be Boring” is another Indian film in which Katrina Kaif played one of the main roles.
This story begins with a bachelor party thrown by Kabir Dewan. Only this is not a standard party in such cases, but a three-week trip with friends throughout Spain. One of them is Arjun Saluja, a stock broker played by Hrithik Roshan. He is very reluctant to go because he is afraid of losing his lucrative job, but in the end he agrees.
Friends are trying to master scuba diving. Diving instructor Laila helps them with this. Kaif plays her. An Englishwoman of Indian origin helps men dive into the deep. Most of all, Arjun, who has pronounced hydrophobia, is a fear of water, needs her help. Soon a spark jumps between the young people. Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan make a charming pair on screen that endears them to all viewers.

Career
1998-2004
Katrina began her modeling career at the age of fourteen. She signed her first contract with a jewelry company. She later continued her career in London under a contract with a modeling agency. Kat also participated in shows at London Fashion Week.
It was then that London director Kaizad Gustad noticed her and offered her a role in the film Boom / Boom (2003) . The film, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Gulshan Grover, failed miserably. But after its release, Katrina moved to Mumbai and continued to work as a model, since the directors did not dare to offer her the main role due to her poor knowledge of Hindi. She tried herself in the south, starring in two Telugu films.
Breakthrough (2005-2006)
In 2005, Katrina appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's drama Sarkar / In the Footsteps of her Father, where she played a small role as Abhishek Bachchan's girlfriend. The same year, she received her first leading role in David Dhawan's melodrama How I Loved / Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, opposite Salman Khan. The film was a moderate success, but noted film critic Taran Adarsh dubbed Katrina the "Discovery of the Year". In 2006, the film Premonition of Love / Humko Deewana Kar Gaye was released. Even though it failed at the box office, Adarsh again praised Katrina and said that she has a future.
Success (2007–present)
In 2007, Katrina starred in four films at once, which were successful at the box office. Her first release is the romantic comedy Namastey London / Hello London! Katrina played an Indian girl who grew up in England named Jasmeet. Leading newspaper The Times of India noted the chemistry between Katrina and the male lead Akshay Kumar.
Her next work is a supporting role in the family drama Native People / Apne. Thanks to Dharmendra, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Kirron Kher and Shilpa Shetty, the film became a box office hit. This was followed by an unofficial remake of the Hollywood comedy Hitch , which director David Dhawan called Partner. Apart from Katrina, the film stars Salman Khan, Govinda and Lara Dutta. Her last film, 2007's Welcome, directed by Anees Bazmee and starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Anil Kapoor, was declared a blockbuster in India despite negative reviews from critics.
In 2008, Katrina released the entertaining action film Race, the melodrama Yuvvraaj / The Heirs and the comedy King Singh / Singh Is Kinng (again a blockbuster and Katrina’s sixth successful film). King Singh was also the third highest-grossing film of 2008 at the box office.
In 2009, the drama New York was released with John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh. It was a great commercial success both in India and abroad. The film was praised by critics. Taran Adarsh wrote: “Katrina is truly amazing. Known for her glamorous roles, she proves that she can act. This is what the right director and the right role mean.” Filmfare nomination as “Best Actress of the Year” (but lost it to Vidya Balan for her role in Paa / Daddy)
In November 2009, she appeared opposite Ranbir Kapoor in the comedy Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani . Critics mostly praised her chemistry with Ranbir rather than her overall performance.
Katrina's last release was Big Trouble / De Dana Dan in 2009 with a multi-star cast (Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Neha Dhupia). Quite a meager success and very mediocre reviews.
Kat's first release in 2010 was the political drama Raajneeti , where she appeared opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Arjun Rampal. The modern adaptation of the Mahabharata was enthusiastically received by both critics and audiences and collected good box office.
Her final release of the same year, Farah Khan's brainless comedy Tees Maar Khan, starring Akshay Kumar, received only negative reviews from critics and was considered a flop. However, Katrina's dance number " Sheila Ki Jawani " became the biggest hit of the year.
In 2011, Katrina played in the film directed by Zoya Akhtar Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara / Life Can't Be Boring! paired with Hrithik Roshan. Taran Adarsh wrote, “Katrina is a revelation of the film. She continues to amaze us with her performance."
The film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan brought Katrina her second Filmfare (which, ironically, she again lost to Vidya Balan, but for The Dirty Picture). However, critics heaped praise on Katrina for her performance in My Brother's Bride , calling her the main star and the most positive aspect of the film.
As of January 2012, Katrina is set to star in three high-profile projects produced by Yash Raj Films :
1. Spy thriller There Was a Tiger / Ek Tha Tiger with Salman Khan, 2. In a project with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma (“While I Live”), 3. Action Dhoom 3 with Aamir Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Uday Chopra and Rimi Sen.
Dubbing
It should be noted that due to her poor knowledge of Hindi (as well as other Indian languages), Katrina's voice was often dubbed. However, with the exception of De Dana Dan, she has completely dubbed herself, starting with New York (2009), and previously voiced herself in two films; "Hello London!" and "King Singh".
In 2002, Katrina was chosen as the face of Coca-Cola in Tamil Nadu along with Tamil actor Vijay . Their joint song, where Katrina stands on pointe shoes, " Gullu Gullu " was very popular in Tamil Nadu. Kat has also worked for multinational brands such as Panasonic and Veet . Currently, she is the face of the national airline of the United Arab Emirates - Etihad Airways .
