Katrina Kaif has spent good
part of her life in London where she was born and grew up to be a confident
charming lady. She has been very lucky to get the best of both the worlds,
with her father an NRI and mother a British. An Indian director Kaizad
Gustad noticed her while she was modeling and was quick to offer her a
role in ‘Boom’ which was didn’t fare to well at the Box Office but proved
to be a perfect launching pad for Karina’s Bollywood career. Katrina’s
striking beauty didn’t go unnoticed and soon she was the talk of the tinsel
town. Her ravishing looks and a body which makes people drool, put her
amongst the top of the ladies vying to make it big in Bollywood. Even before
becoming regular in the movies, she was almost famous and a sex symbol
for many. She cherishes a photograph of her dancing while she was taking
her Kathak classes. Her 40 days training program could go as long as seven
hours and she literally had to sweat it out.
A self confessed romantic,
Katrina is full of dreams and fantasies of any teenaged girl who waits
for the Prince charming. She doesn’t shy from unfolding her emotional self
and says, “Ideally the person whom you love means everything to you. There
are no two ways about it.” Her professional assignments require her to
wear all kinds of attires, but personally she prefers clothes which are
not that revealing. Jackie and Ayesha Shroff production ‘Boom’ got some
acclaim at Cannes Film Festival. It was her debut and she didn’t show any
signs of being a newcomer or a novice, who has been thrown into the cold
water. Instead, the stunning Katrina showed a lot of poise and promise.
Coming back to India has not been strange as she is quite conversant with
this culture and her Kashmiri father was instrumental in keeping her close
to her roots. She is one of the eight sisters and her family has never
dissuaded her from following her dreams. She is muses philosophically,
“Where you come from wherever you go. At the end you go back to be loved
and care for.” Katrina accepted her first offer from Kaizad as the script
was to her liking and she wanted to rediscover her roots to India. And
Bollywood has offered her just that. She has refused some offers and some
people say it’s not a good thing to do early on in your career. But then
as she confidently conveys that she has nothing to prove to anyone. If
she is not comfortable with it, she is not going for it. As simple as that.
She doesn’t need to run from pillar to post for work. Only roles which
are good enough excite her. With her head on shoulders she for sure knows
where she is heading.

The rumor has it that she
was booted out of Mukesh Bhat’s Saya because of her alleged link up with
Salman Khan but she is quick to hit back by Salman had nothing to do with
it. The reason for her omission was taken on considerations only best known
to Mukesh and Mahesh Bhatt. Being a professional she thinks her personal
life would not have any bearing on her signing movies and completing them.
She is very shocked at how things have been blown out of proportions. She
doesn’t feel the need to clarify any further. Her flick ‘Boom’ is an interesting
plot which explores the nexus between the mafia and the fashion world.
Commercial flicks are what she’ll focus on.
Will her inability to converse
in Hindi hamper her plans? She replies by stating that even Indian actresses
from south like Sridevi made it big in spite of being not so proficient
with Hindi. There’s no argument to sound logic, especially in this case.
Her looks, intelligence, poise, confidence and guts to face it all, make
her an ideal case.
