She has the looks, style, attitude and on top of all a million dollar smile.
She is a class of her own and yet so humble with a heart like an angel. All these qualities makes her different from her counterparts.
Yes, you guessed it absolutely right she is one and only Katrina kaif.
Who would believe that Katrina Kaif was rejected as a teenager by London modelling agencies for not being skinny enough, for the girl from Barnet has the whole 1 billion pounds-a-year Hindi film industry at her feet today.Arriving in India at the age of 17, Katrina could not speak a single Hindi word and didn”t know how to dance-two prerequisites of Indian cinema. She is a fine example of sincerity, hard work, honesty and determination.
However, today, with 15 films to her credit, she is India’’s most searched-for celebrity, according to Google.Lads” magazines FHM and Maxim have branded Katrina India’’s sexiest woman, while the past year’’s box-office receipts suggest that she is the sub-continent’’s most bankable female lead.
Katrina, who watched her first Bollywood film at the age of 16 on Channel 4, is now one of the biggest A-list stars in India.
And now she is being celebrated globally, as earlier this year, Mattel, the toymaker, said that a forthcoming Bollywood Barbie doll would be modelled on Katrina.
Knowing that she”ll be mobbed if she appears in public in India, Katrina cherishes her relative anonymity in Britain, where she can stroll down Finchley High Street unmolested during her frequent but secret visits to her childhood home.
Born in Hong Kong to a British mother and a now-estranged Kashmiri father, Katrina has six sisters and one brother.But despite having no exposure to Bollywood flicks, her fair skin, classical features and hourglass figure have proved an instant hit in India, even if her halting Hindi was initially jibed at.
Industry watchers have said that her success has been based on her work ethic as much as her looks.And, at the moment, she has five films in various states of production.Katrina said: “I like to leave those things in the hands of God, and destiny and the audience.”
Katrina is not limited to Bolywood industry and stage shows.She is the most wanted face in the advertising industry from beauty products to soft drinks.
So it’s raining endorsement deals in Katrina Kaif’s kitty. The actress who is currently ruling the roost in Bollywood has been signed as the brand ambassador of international cosmetic giant Oil of Olay that launched the newly formulated White Radiance range in India.
Katrina is a youth icon of today. The international brand found Kats to be the apt model to market their product.
This year, Katrina has been the top choice for endorsing brands. Only recently she was chosen by leading jewelry brand Nakshatra as their brand ambassador and now she has bagged yet another plum endorsement deal with Oil of Olay. The future certainly looks bright for this gorgeous actress.
So far so good for Katrina, after all she genuinely deserves all the fame and popularity as she had no god father and she has struggled her way to reach on top.
we wish her happy take offs for her future.
