Katrina Kaif has most of the qualities most of the film stars  should posses like disciplined, good looking, hard working, kind hearted, generous, jovial and she has a golden heart and she is over all a gem of a person.
Katrina Kaif soon moved permanently to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. She started off with photographer Atul Kasbekar. Later she got offers from Lakme, which made her popular. She also modeled for LG, Fevicol, Pantene, Veet, Kodak, and L’Oreal. She was chosen as the face of the year for the Lakme India Fashion Week (2005). In 2005 she starred in ‘Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya’ opposite Salman Khan and Ram Gopal Varma’s ‘Sarkar’. ‘Hum Ko Deewana Kar Gaye’ with Akshay Kumar followed.
Because of her linguistic shortcomings, filmmakers were hesitant to give her offers. Her voice was dubbed in films she acted. This changed with the film, Namastey London along side Akshay Kumar & later Apne, in which she dubbed her own lines. Her hard work to improve her Hindi and her dancing skills has been fruitful as her latest movies ‘Partner’ with Salman Khan and Govinda was a huge hit.
As for her mantra for a healthy life, she said: Exercise, eat well. “You have got to be careful about what you eat because Indian food tends to be way too oily. Try to eat more healthy food – more vegetables, more fish.”
“I like Japanese food because its very healthy, its delicious – I like that kind of taste – not too much spice and at the same time, theres no oil, there’s no fat.”The other thing is getting up early, not oversleeping, going to the gym, going to work on time.
One as an extremely lucky girl who got the best possible help and guidance from a superstar boyfriend and one who was fortunate enough to get the right roles at the right time in immensely successful movies.Second way of portraying the actress is as a lady with killer looks enough to melt down the male hearts with just a glance but with no inherent acting talents.
Third way is as a performer who was not good enough in giving great performances but one who has steadily improved over the time.In whatever ways in which the persona of Kartina is made out to be, no one can deny the bare fact that she has become an extremely viable brand in a very short period of time.
Her Generosity is match less –
In a truly royal style, Bollywood diva Katrina Kaif distributed Rs 5 lakh of hard cash among unit members of her upcoming film Ajab Prem Ki Ghajab Katha. It was the last day of the shoot at Film City and Katrina was in a generous mood. After wrapping up the schedule, Katrina went into her vanity van and came out with bundles of notes and started distributing them among the unit members. She was in a happy mood and wanted to share her happiness with everyone.”
She has been in the Bollywood film industry for nearly six years now, and it has taken her all these years to finally feel secure about her acting skills.Her latest film New York has won Katrina accolades not just for her beauty but this time also for her talent as an actress.So ecstatic is Katrina about this new recognition that she has taken it upon herself to criticise actresses who show skin to attract an audience.
Katrina recently said in an interview that she doesn’t need to wear a short skirt or show her legs to get audiences to go for her film or to love her.Speculations are that this was Katrina’s dig at fellow actress Kareena Kapoor whose skin-show in Kambakkht Ishq is reportedly the only thing that is now drawing audiences to the film that has received a unanimous thumbs-down from the public as well as from critics.
Katrina, who has so far won many points for her maturity and her diplomacy has managed to make her first enemy in Bollywood and it is none other than Kareena.
