Katrina Kaif has seen it all. The depressing lows and the intoxicating highs. However, this beautiful star has always managed not to get carried away with success. As Katrina celebrates her birthday today, we wish her all the luck and love, and revisit her life and her glorious achievements in Bollywood.
One trait of Katrina that all co-workers agree upon, is her hardworking nature. It is this quality of hers that established a non-Hindi speaking actor like her, in the Hindi Film Industry. Nothing less than a miracle, we can say.
There was perhaps no other Sheila in Bollywood who created as much a buzz with one dance number, as this lovely British-Indian beauty . When Katrina Kaif swayed to the number 'Sheila ki Jawaani' from 'Tees Maar Khan', it made the young, old and everyone in between to - sit and look. And though it was not always a breezy dance for this Bollywood diva, it seems like she has seen that tremendous success every actor dreams of. Her 'Sheila' number was followed by 'Chikni Chameli, Mashaallah,and many more, confirming her 'X factor' marvel.
Katrina however, did struggle in her initial days. However, once she got critical acclaim and good reviews in the Akshay Kumar starrer 'Namaste London', there was no stopping her. She proved her acting mettle in films such as New York, Ajab Prem ki Gazab Kahani, Rajneeti, Zindagi na Milegi Dobara, Ek Tha Tiger and Jab Thak Hain Jaan. After having worked with Salman & Shahrukh, Katrina is now working with the third Khan - Aamir on YRF's upcoming movie 'Dhoom 3'.
Being in a family of seven sisters and a brother, Katrina always maintains that she loves to support her siblings and give them financial stability. In fact, Katrina is often snapped visiting her sisters and family - the only time where she drops her guard and smiles heartily, so it seems.
Kat has always guarded her privacy ferociously. Though a lot was said and heard about her long affair with salman Khan, never once did she admit it. After what seemed like an intense affair and a mutual break up, she is now rumoured to be dating Ranbir Kapoor. The couple were snapped enjoying a romantic vacation in Spain recently.
