Katrina Kaif (Kashmiri: क़त्रीना कैफ़ (Devanagari)) (born 16 July 1984) is an actress and former model who appears in Indian films, mainly in the Hindi-language film industry. She has also appeared in Telugu, and Malayalam films. She was voted the "Hottest Woman in the World" by Eastern Eye in the years 2008, 2009 and 2010.
Early life-
Kaif was born in Hong Kong to an Indian Kashmiri father, Mohammed Kaif, and an English mother, Suzanne Turquotte, both of whom are British citizens. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Kaif has seven siblings. She was raised in Hawaii and later moved to her mother's home country, England.
Career-
Kaif began her modeling career at the age fourteen; her first job was for a jewelry campaign. She continued modeling in London under a contract with the Models 1 Agency and did campaigns for houses such as La Senza and Arcadius, and even walked on the London Fashion Week.
Kaif's London modeling-work led to her discovery by London-based filmmaker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his film Boom (2003). She moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments. However, filmmakers were initially hesitant to sign her because she could not speak Hindi.
Kaif saw moderate success with the 2005 film Sarkar, where she played the bit part of Abhishek Bachchan's girlfriend, and Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya (2005), where she was paired opposite Salman Khan.
In 2007, Kaif appeared in her first major hit movie, Namastey London, wherein she starred as a British Indian girl alongside Akshay Kumar for the second time after the box office letdown Humko Deewana Kar Gaye (2006). Her run of hit films continued with Apne, Partner, and Welcome.
In 2008, she played the villain role for the first time in Abbas-Mustan's hit action thriller Race. She played the role of Saif Ali Khan's secretary who is secretly in love with his hostile stepbrother (played by Akshay Khanna). Kaif's second release of the year was Anees Bazmee's production Singh Is Kinng, opposite Akshay Kumar. The film was a big success at the box office. Kaif's final release of the year, Subhash Ghai's Yuvvraaj, was a commercial failure, but its script has made its way into the Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for artistic merits, original screenplay with a substance, and the film as a whole.
Kaif's first release for 2009, New York, with John Abraham, was a critical and commercial success. Kaif's performance was highly regarded. Wrote critic Taran Adarsh, "Katrina gives you the biggest surprise. Known for her glamour roles, Katrina proves that she can deliver if the director and writer offer her a role of substance. She's outstanding. In fact, people will see a new, different Katrina this time."
She next played a bit role as a biker chick in the multi-starrer action film Blue, popularly known as India's first underwater thriller, which performed decently at the box office. The film was not successful.
At the year's end, she appeared in Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, with Ranbir Kapoor, and De Dana Dan with Akshay Kumar. Both films were commercial successes.

Kaif's first film of 2010 was Raajneeti, where she appeared opposite Ranbir Kapoor. The film did extremely well at the box office, receiving a blockbuster status. She is currently filming Farah Khan's Tees Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar. The film is set to be released on 24 December 2010.
Voice-
It should be noted that due to her poor knowledge of Hindi (and other Indian languages), Katrina Kaif's voice has often been dubbed over by another actress for many of her early films. With the exception of De Dana Dan, all her films since New York feature her real voice. Earlier films in which her real voice is also heard are Singh Is Kinng, Namastey London and Boom.

The countdown to the release of Tees Maar Khan is on and its lead stars Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif were spotted praying for the film’s success at the Golden Temple.
Akshay, who is a Punjabi boy, had his head covered with a saffron patka with the symbol of Sikhism. Katrina was very simply dressed in a white kurta, pyjama and a black jacket to keep away the chill of Amritsar winters.
The duo prayed together and, accompanied by Gurudwara officials, took a round of the holy shrine.
Akshay has had a poor year this year, with all his films flopping at box office. Hope his prayers will be answered and Tees Maar Khan will set the cash registers ringing.
Resplendent in white and frills!
Though it was the launch of Filmfare’s Tees Maar Khan special issue, Katrina Kaif’s look for the evening was not of a glam hottie but of a beautiful Barbie. No wonder she's the new face of the Barbie dolls.The tiered sweetheart neckline BCBG dress in white was just perfect for Kat and her demure persona. In fact, she wore a similar dress in black for her Barbie launch event too. It seems the lady prefers feminine dresses, but her crystal studded sandal for the eve disappointed us a bit. Also present at the event was her co-star Akshay Kumar who was dressed in black from head to toe, and the couple looked amazing together. The combination of white and black always rocks.
Here is some news for the Priyankas and Deepikas of the industry: Katrina Kaif continues to rule the web world. The net queen is Yahoo Newsmaker of the year 2010.
After being the most googled celeb, it’s not surprising to see Kat as the Yahoo Newsmaker of the year. It seems that janta was more interested in Kat’s life, her beauty, her relationship with Bollywood’s Dabangg star Salman Khan (or is it a Kapoor boy), and now her sizzling item Sheila Ki Jawani.
Though the year has had many happening moments for India from multi-crore 2G scam to Bihar elections, the much-hyped President Obama visit and also not to forget India’s graft-ridden CWG, Kat continued to woo her fans and netizens.
Katrina is the lady who makes news!
