etting dressed up and strutting among a crowd of females is second nature to Katrina Kaif, being one of eight daughters born to a Kashmiri Indian father and a British mother in Hong Kong on July 16, 1984. Her unusual background also includes growing up in Hawaii before moving to London. Her career as a professional beauty began there at the age of 14 modeling jewelry before she landed her first acting role in Boom (2003).
Her modeling career fluorished in Mumbai but her Bollywood ambitions were severely limited by her inability to speak Hindi. Kaif worked hard to learn the language. In her most recent films Namastey and Apne she did her own dubbing.
