Katrina Kaif was born in Hong Kong with her mother's surname Turquotte (also spelt Turcotte), on 16 July 1983. [a][6][7][8] According to the actress, her father (Mohammed Kaif) is a British businessman of

Kashmiri descent and her mother (Suzanne, also spelt Susanna) is an English lawyer and charity worker. [9][10][11] She has seven siblings: three elder sisters (Stephanie, Christine, and Natasha), three younger
sisters (Melissa, Sonia, and Isabel) and an elder brother, Michael. [9][11] Isabelle Kaif is also a model and actress. [12] Kaif's parents divorced when she was a child, and her father moved to the United States. She
Ελληνικά said her father had no influence on Kaif or her siblings while they were growing up, and they were raised by their mother.[6][11][13] On her father's absence in her life, Kaif stated: "When I see friends who have
Español wonderful fathers who are like pillars of support for their families, I say, if only I had that. But instead of complaining, I should be grateful for all the other things I have". In a 2009 interview with The Indian
‫ﻓﺎر ﺳ ﯽ‬ Express, she said she was not in touch with her father. [11]

Kaif says that her mother decided to "dedicate her life to social causes", which led to the family's relocation to a number of countries for varying lengths of time:

Հայերեն Our transitions in growing up were—from Hong Kong where I was born, to China, then to Japan, and from Japan by boat to France ... After France,
Switzerland—and I'm cutting out many East European countries where we were for only a few months each—then Poland in Kraków ... After that we

Due to their frequent relocation, Kaif and her siblings were home-schooled by a series of tutors. [14] Although she is thought to have grown up in London, she lived

Kaif's paternal parentage has been questioned by some members of the film industry. [6] In a 2011 interview with Mumbai Mirror, Boom producer Ayesha Shroff
accused Kaif of fabricating her history: "We created an identity for her. She was this pretty young English girl, and we gave her the Kashmiri father and thought of
‫ﻣ ﺼﺮ ى‬ calling her Katrina Kazi. We thought we'd give her some kind of Indian ancestry, to connect with the audience ... But then we thought that Kazi sounded too ... religious? ... Mohammad Kaif was at the top, and
Bahasa Melayu so we said, Katrina Kaif sounds really great".[10] Kaif called Shroff's comments "hurtful". [6]

Modelling and early film work
Oʻzbekcha/ўзбекча At the age of fourteen, Kaif won a beauty contest in Hawaii, and received her first modelling assignment in a jewellery campaign. [16] She subsequently modelled

Kaif's career as a model led to anticipation surrounding her Bollywood debut. [18] Boom (2003) had its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival, and was heavily promoted

model, Kaif received the Stardust Award for Breakthrough Performance – Female.[38] According to Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com, "Katrina's Disney princess-like charm adds to her adorable screen
Tiếng Việt presence".[39] Kaif followed with a small part in her second Telugu film, Allari Pidugu.[40]

In 2006, she appeared with Akshay Kumar for the first of many films in Raj Kanwar's unsuccessful Humko Deewana Kar Gaye,[41] a story of two like-minded strangers who fall in love despite being engaged to
others. Sify wrote that Kaif was "passably competent in a tailor-made role, giving a mild emotional spin to a couple of scenes" but was overshadowed by her supporting actresses. [42] Kaif also appeared with

Mammootty in the Malayalam crime thriller Balram vs. Tharadas,[43] in which Rishi Raj Singh of The Hindu called her performance "marvellous". [44]

Kaif's career prospects changed in 2007, when she appeared in four Bollywood hits. [45] In an interview with The Indian Express, she called Vipul Amrutlal Shah's romantic comedy Namastey London a
milestone, saying that "for the first time, [she] had a dominating role".[11] Kaif used her life in London as a reference for her role as a spoilt British Indian girl intent on marrying her self-centred British boyfriend,
despite her parents' disapproval.[46] Although critics expressed mixed views on the film, [47] Sukanya Verma wrote that Kaif "suits the role to the T" and "brings the zingy mix of her character alive with style and
substance".[48] Kaif's chemistry with co-star Akshay Kumar was particularly well received, with Nikhat Kazmi of The Times of India calling their casting "refreshing".[49] Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama
mentioned "Katrina is a revelation. The actor surprised you with a confident performance in Humko Deewana Kar Gaye and now, in Namaste London, she comes up with a spirited performance yet again. She
handles the complex part with remarkable ease."[50]

She had a supporting role as a doctor in the sports drama Apne. The film was highly anticipated as it marked the first appearance of Dharmendra with his sons, Sunny
Deol and Bobby Deol.[52] After Apne she rejoined director David Dhawan and Salman Khan for the comedy Partner, a remake of Hitch which also starred Govinda and
Lara Dutta.[53] With a worldwide revenue of ₹1.03 billion (US$15 million), the film was a major financial success. [54][55] Kaif's final film of the year was Anees Bazmee's
comedy Welcome, alongside Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar, Mallika Sherawat and Anil Kapoor. Although the film generated mostly negative reviews, it proved to be
the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of 2007 .[45][54] The similarity of Kaif's roles was noted by Shoma Chaudhury of Tehelka, who called her "unabashed eye-
candy", adding that she was "a pretty prop in Welcome" and "more of the same in Partner and Apne".[14]

Kaif and Akshay Kumar on the set of
Welcome; they teamed in several successful
films.[51]
In 2008, the actress had three releases, the first of which was Abbas-Mustan's action thriller Race, a story about two stepbrothers-turned-rivals who are in contention
for their father's insurance money. Kaif played Saif Ali Khan's secretary, who is his stepbrother's (Akshaye Khanna) lover. Nikhat Kazmi was appreciative of the film,
praising its "super cool look [and] testosterone-high action sequences" but found Kaif "too pale" in her role.[56] After Race, Kaif rejoined Akshay Kumar in Anees
Bazmee's action comedy Singh Is Kinng. The film earned ₹1.25 billion (US$18 million) worldwide, making it Kaif's sixth consecutive box-office success. [28][55][57]
However, she received mixed reviews for her performance.[45] Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN reviewed: "Katrina Kaif is an eyesore ... her acting so weak you want to
urge her to watch everyone from Madhubala to Madhuri so she might pick up a few tricks". [58]

Kaif's final film of the year—Subhash Ghai's drama Yuvvraaj—was a major box-office failure.[57] In preparation for her role as a cellist she practised her playing with orchestra members. [59] Her portrayal of a girl
forbidden by her father from marrying her poor lover was well received by Sify's Sonia Chopra: "Katrina is wonderful, plays the cello convincingly, and looks ethereal".[60] Despite the film's mixed critical reception,
its screenplay was added to the library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for its artistic merit.[61][62]

Before New York, Kaif's voice was dubbed over by voice artists in most of her films due to her lack of fluency in Hindi and other Indian languages. [b] Although she appeared in a series of successful films, critics
noted that she had little to do in them as they were generally male-dominated.[28][65] Her performances were also largely criticised. [66][67] About her series of glamorous roles, Kaif said that her "first few films were
really a process of learning ... There was no target".[6]

New York and commercial successes (2009–2014)

After a string of films in which she was cast to add glamour, Kaif appeared in Kabir Khan's terrorism drama New York (2009).[68] Featuring John Abraham and Neil Nitin Mukesh in lead roles, the film tells the
story of how three friends' lives are changed when the former is wrongly detained after 9/11. Kaif played Maya, a college student who later marries a terrorist. The actress said that she identified with Maya,
since she experienced similar isolation because of her skin colour when she was growing up in London.[69] Kaif also remarked that she was tired of "arm candy" roles and was looking for more substantial
parts.[70] New York did well at the box office and received favourable reviews. [71][72] According to Subhash K. Jha, Kaif "comes into her own as an actress of substance ... From the carefree effervescent campus
girl to the anguished wife, Katrina makes the journey look plausible all the way".[73] A reviewer for The Times of India considered it to be the "best performance of her entire career." [74] New York brought Kaif her
first Filmfare Award nomination for Best Actress.[75] She then appeared in a cameo for India's first underwater thriller Blue.[76] Kaif starred with Ranbir Kapoor in Rajkumar Santoshi's hit comedy, Ajab Prem Ki
Ghazab Kahani (2009), as an orphan forced to marry a rich man. [77] Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama wrote, "Katrina Kaif continues to surprise ... She scores in both emotional and light scenes" and called
her chemistry with Kapoor "electrifying".[78] Her final film of the year was Priyadarshan's comedy De Dana Dan.[70]

In 2010, Kaif appeared in Prakash Jha's political thriller Raajneeti as part of an ensemble cast which included Ranbir Kapoor, Ajay Devgan, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar,
Manoj Bajpai and Sarah Thompson. The film took inspiration from The Mahabharata and Mario Puzo's 1969 novel The Godfather.[79] Set in Bhopal, the film described a
fiercely fought election campaign by two parties attempting to seize power with manipulation, corruption and treachery. Although there was media speculation before the
film's release that Kaif's character was based on Sonia Gandhi, the actress denied this. In preparation for her role as Indu (a politician loosely based on Draupadi), she
watched Priyanka Gandhi's election campaign videos to study the body language and interaction of politicians. [80][81] The film received mainly positive reviews from critics.[82]
Rajeev Masand found Raajneeti "thrilling and gripping", though Namrata Joshi was more critical and expressed her disappointment over the film's depiction of women. [83][84]
Nikhat Kazmi considered Kaif's performance to be "carefree and camera-unconscious" and wrote that she "seems to slip into the high-powered shoes easily". [85] The film
was highly successful at the box office, receiving a total collection of ₹1.4 billion (US$20 million). [55][86]

Kaif collaborated with Akshay Kumar for the sixth time in the slapstick comedy Tees Maar Khan (2010).[87] For her role as an aspiring actress, Kaif appeared in a popular
item number titled "Sheila Ki Jawani". The song was choreographed by the film's director Farah Khan and for the belly dancing portion of the song, Kaif was trained by expert
Veronica D'Souza.[88] "Sheila Ki Jawani" was often compared to another item number released the same year "Munni Badnaam Hui" from Dabangg.[89] Despite the song's
popularity, Tees Maar Khan was panned by critics and underperformed at the box office. [90][91] Kaif's portrayal was not well received; Renuka Rao of Daily News and
Analysis said that her "drama queen act is performed ... poorly", but noted that she "does full justice" to the item number. [92]

Kaif at a promotional event for

The following year, Kaif was paired with Hrithik Roshan in Zoya Akhtar's coming-of-age dramedy Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara.[93] The film narrates the story of three friends on
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, 2011 a bachelor trip, and how the workaholism of one was overcome with the help of Laila (Kaif). The film was a critical and commercial success. [94][95] Richard Kuipers of Variety
commented that she is "delightful as the sweet-natured girl who inspires everyone to look in the mirror and do something about it".[96] Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was one of
the most awarded films of the year and received numerous Best Film accolades.[97]

Kaif then featured in Yash Raj Films' romantic comedy Mere Brother Ki Dulhan (2011) with Imran Khan and Ali Zafar.[98] She was cast as Dimple Dixit, a "talkative", "unpredictable" girl, a role she described as
challenging as the character's personality contrasted with her own.[99] While the film earned mixed reviews, Kaif was generally praised for her portrayal. [45][100] The book Mother Maiden Mistress called Dimple
one of the more interesting female characters of the year.[101] Gaurav Malani of The Economic Times said the film was watchable because of "Katrina's live-wire energy wherein she never goes overboard and
keeps bustling with vivacity through the runtime".[102] For this performance, Kaif received her second Filmfare nomination in the Best Actress category. [75]

In 2012, Kaif appeared in "Chikni Chameli", an item number in Agneepath that incorporated dance steps from the Lavani genre (a Maharashtrian folk dance). The song was filmed over a ten-day period [103] and,
according to the actress, "It was hard work. It was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge".[104] Kaif appeared next in Kabir Khan's espionage thriller Ek Tha Tiger as a Pakistani
ISI agent who falls in love with an Indian RAW agent. Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote about her performance: "Katrina is an able, animated foil to Salman, her long legs making her leaps and kicks
credible".[105] The film received predominantly positive reviews, with Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis calling it "smart and stylish". [106][107] With worldwide earnings of ₹3.1 billion (US$45 million), Ek
Tha Tiger was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year.[108][109]

That year Kaif also appeared with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in Yash Chopra's swan song, the romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan.[110] About working
with Chopra, she remarked that he "undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream
to work with him and the reality is even better".[111] She played Meera, a woman who promises God to end her affair with her comatose lover if he survives.
Although the film received mostly positive reviews, Kaif's performance had a mixed reception.[112] CNN-IBN wrote: "Meera's role was a difficult one and
Katrina falls short in emotional scenes. It seems Katrina still doesn't feel very easy in front of the camera and has difficulty with complex expressions".[113]
Commercially, the film proved a box-office hit with revenues of ₹2.11 billion (US$31 million) worldwide. [114]

In 2013, she appeared briefly with Aamir Khan in Vijay Krishna Acharya's action thriller Dhoom 3.[115] To prepare for her role as a circus performer, she
undertook a year-long regimen of Pilates, functional training and aerial straps.[116] The film received ambivalent reviews and Kaif was criticised for taking on Kaif (right) with Anushka Sharma and Shah Rukh
an insubstantial part.[117] Earning ₹5.42 billion (US$78 million) in box-office receipts, Dhoom 3 went on to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all Khan at the premiere of Jab Tak Hai Jaan, 2012
time until it was surpassed by PK in 2014.[118]

Kaif's next appearance was in Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang! (2014), a remake of the 2010 action comedy Knight and Day.[119] She played a bank receptionist who unwittingly gets caught up with a secret agent
(Hrithik Roshan). Raja Sen of Rediff.com was disappointed with her performance, describing it as "insufferable". [120] Although the film was commercially successful, financial analysts observed that it failed to
meet box-office expectations.[121] Ek Tha Tiger, Dhoom 3 and Bang Bang! still rank in the list of highest-grossing Indian films, while Jab Tak Hai Jaan still rank in the list of highest-grossing Indian films in
overseas markets

Career fluctuations (2015–present)

Kaif's sole appearance of 2015 was with Saif Ali Khan in Kabir Khan's post 26/11 counter-terrorism drama Phantom.[122] In 2016, Kaif appeared in two films. In Abhishek
Kapoor's Fitoor, an adaptation of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations, Kaif played a role based on Estella Havisham along with Aditya Roy Kapur and Tabu.[123] Later
that year she featured in Nitya Mehra's love story Baar Baar Dekho with Sidharth Malhotra.[124] Both films were critical and commercial failures. [125] In a review for the
former, Namrata Joshi wrote: "Katrina is good so long as she has to just be herself. So she dances, smiles and flirts well, but the minute a dramatic scene comes up, her
utter inadequacy as a performer shows."[126]

Kaif next appeared alongside Ranbir Kapoor in Anurag Basu's comedy-adventure film Jagga Jasoos, which was released in 2017 after multiple delays. [127] The film
opened to mixed critical response and was a commercial disappointment.[128] Mayank Shekhar from Mid Day said, "Honestly, I know no two faces as pleasant as Ranbir
Kapoor and Katrina Kaif on the Indian screen. They naturally shine before the camera." [129] In the same year, Kaif reteamed with Salman Khan and reprised the role of
Kaif with co-star Aditya Roy Kapur at
Zoya in the Ali Abbas Zafar's action thriller film Tiger Zinda Hai, sequel to the 2012 film Ek Tha Tiger. The film released on Christmas weekend and opened to strong box
an event for Fitoor in 2016
office collections, collecting over ₹1.1 billion within three days of release.[130] Rachit Gupta of Filmfare wrote, "The screenplay goes easy on [Kaif] by not giving her stand
and dialogue. Instead, she does the bulk of the hand to hand combat and gun fights and she looks the part. It's invigorating to see a lady kick-ass with so much élan and
pull all the punches like they're real."[131]

In 2018, Kaif played a supporting role in the period action-adventure film Thugs of Hindostan, marking her second collaboration with Aamir Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and director Vijay Krishna Acharya. [132] Kaif
was also a female lead, alongside Anushka Sharma, in Anand L Rai's Zero, playing an alcoholic actress and marking her second collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan and Sharma (after 2012's Jab Tak Hai
Jaan).[133] Zero received mixed reviews from critics, but Kaif's portrayal of an alcoholic actress earned her critical praise, [134] with Udita Jhunjhunwala of Mint crediting for her for delivering "what could be
considered her most authentic performance".[135] She received a nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress .[136] However, both Thugs of Hindustan and Zero were commercially
unsuccessful.[137]

In 2019, Kaif once again collaborated with Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar in the drama Bharat, an adaptation of the South Korean film Ode to My Father (2014). The film became the third highest grossing Hindi film
of 2019 in its opening week.[138] Kaif will next appear in Rohit Shetty's action film Sooryavanshi.[139][140]

Off-screen work
Kaif is involved with Relief Projects India, a charitable trust run by her mother which rescues abandoned baby girls and works to prevent female infanticide.[141] Kaif's winnings from the game shows 10 Ka Dum
and Kaun Banega Crorepati were donated to her mother's Mercy Home orphanage. [142] In 2009 and 2010, Kaif also walked the ramp for charity as part of Salman Khan's
"Being Human" show.[143][144] To raise funds for a new school in Madurai she recorded Rhyme Skool, an album of nursery rhymes composed by A. R. Rahman.[145][146] In
2011, Kaif visited sepoys in Jammu as part of NDTV's reality program Jai Jawan.[147] The following year she visited the Cancer Patients Aid Association to gift cancer
survivors and increase public awareness of breast and cervical cancer. [148]

Kaif has also performed onstage, participating in Shah Rukh Khan's "Temptations Reloaded" world concert tour in 2008. Also featuring Kareena Kapoor and Arjun
Rampal, the tour began in Amsterdam in June and ended four months later in Dubai's Festival City Arena before an audience of 15,000. [149][150] Kaif rejoined Shah Rukh
Khan for his 2013 "Temptations Reloaded" concert in Muscat, performing to an audience of over 18,000. [151] She performed with Akon at the closing ceremony of the
Katrina performing on Chikini
2009 Indian Premier League at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg,[152] and joined Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone and Pitbull in Kolkata for the opening Chameli at the 18th annual Colors
ceremony of the 2013 IPL season.[153] In 2016, she joined other Indian celebrities for the "Dream Team Tour", where they performed in various American cities. [154] Screen Awards, 2012

Personal life
Kaif's personal life has been the subject of extensive media attention. She is reluctant to discuss her romantic life: "I have always believed that there is life before
marriage and after marriage. Before marriage ... you are termed a single woman and I choose to conduct that part of my life with absolute dignity and discretion".[155]
Although rumours of a relationship with Salman Khan first emerged in 2003,[20] it was not until after their 2010 breakup that Kaif spoke of it, calling it her first serious
relationship.[156] They have remained friends, and the actress credits Khan with giving her confidence and guidance: [157][158][159]

The reported reason for their breakup was Kaif's increasing closeness to Ranbir Kapoor during the filming of Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani.[160] Although this was
denied by Kaif and Kapoor, the nature of their relationship was scrutinised by the media because they were thought to be involved with others at the time.[161][162] In
August 2013, photographs of Kapoor and Kaif on holiday in Ibiza were leaked by Stardust; the media interpreted this as confirmation of an affair. [163] After the
appearance of the photos, Kaif published an open letter to the media saying that she was "upset, distressed and invaded" by the breach of privacy.[164] She later
Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor in 2015
acknowledged Kapoor as "an extremely important part of [her] life".[165] In February 2016, the media reported that they had broken up.[166]

Kaif has a close relationship with her family, and the lack of a father figure in her life has given her a sense of responsibility towards them. [167] While Kaif's mother is
Christian and her father is Muslim, Kaif was brought up to practise all faiths and says she is a "firm believer in God".[168][169] The Times of India reported in 2009 that she visits Siddhivinayak Temple, Mount Mary
Church, and the Sufi shrine Ajmer Sharif Dargah before her films are released. [170]

In the media
According to an India Today article, despite her dissimilarity to a conventional Bollywood heroine, Kaif "turned every adversity into opportunity and climbed the slippery pole
of stardom".[6] Although she is one of the most commercially successful actresses in contemporary Bollywood, she has received mixed reviews for her acting prowess. [171]
Writing for Firstpost, Anuya Jakatdar wrote that Kaif needed to "take on role[s] that actually challenge her" instead of "coasting on her co-star's box office appeal" and
criticised her inclination towards glamorous roles.[172] Kaif's dancing ability is better appreciated, with Meena Iyer of The Times of India calling her "one of Bollywood's best
dancers".[173] Kaif's Bollywood success has sparked an influx of foreign talent hoping to establish themselves in the industry. [6]
