Katrina Kaif (born July 16 1984) is a model and Bollywood
actress. One of 8 siblings, Katrina was born on July
16, 1984, in Hong Kong to British parents, her father
being of Kashmiri origin. She grew up in Hawaii and
then moved to London.
Career
At the age of 14, Kaif started modeling for a jewelry
campaign in London, and was subsequently discovered
by filmmaker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his
film Boom. She moved to Mumbai and was offered a number
of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were at
first hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic
shortcomings, such as her inability to speak Hindi.
Films that did feature her usually had her voice dubbed
over by a native speaker of the film's language. This
changed with the film, Namastey London,along side Akshay
Kumar & later Apne, in which she dubbed her own
lines.
