Birth Name : Katrina Kaif Vital Stats : 36 -28 - 36Nick Name : Kat Born in : Hong KongBirthday: July 16, 1984 Height: 5'9Sun sign : Cancer Hometown: LondonAge : 24 Hitched with: Salman KhanTrivia: Is half British and half Indian. Indian supermodel Has 8 sisters. Was born in Hong Kong and then moved to Hawaii till she was about 14, then she moved to London. Presently, she lives in Mumbai. Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India. She was discovered at age 14 as a model for a jewelry campaign. When moving to India, she worked for photographer Atul Kasbekar and did commercials for Fevicol, Lakme and Veet among others. She is very particular about her clothes which she wears a bold outfit on screen or for ads, but she feels more comfortable in not-so-revealing clothes in personal life. And the one thing she hates is make up. She refuses to speak about her personal life in the media. Besides walking the ramp for several top designers and being on magazine covers, Katrina has also been the stunning face of Estelle jewelery, Lakme, Pantene, Veet, Kodak cameras, L'Oreal, Samsung, LG etc. She doesn't do ramp shows anymore. She was chosen as the face of the year for the Lakme India Fashion Week (2005). Her favorite Indian designers are Rina Dhaka, Tarun Tahiliani, Rocky S. Her favorite international designers are Armani, Versace, Miu Miu. Personal Quotes: "It's not my style to either wear minimum clothes, to strip or to even be comfortable with a sex-symbol label. I just want to do good work instead of sporting such meaningless tags. Sex sells, but to a small extent, not always. And this is what filmmakers have to accept. The exposure has to be relevant to the film and its characters and not forced for the sake of titillation. On the contrary, some of the greatest Indian films have been devoid of all these sexual trappings. I know my comfort zone in today's Indian culture and society." Her thoughts on Bollywood accepting her, being an outsider British girl, into Indian cinema: "I have no complaints. I think I'm especially lucky. As you said, I've come from outside and I'm not even anywhere closely connected. But I have absolutely no problem here. People have been more than welcoming, even before I was ready. There was a time when I felt that I need to take time to understand more about the industry, the workings of it. I was doing my modeling, which I really wanted to do at the time. So that's why even my entry into films was later than people expected." (Stardust magazine, July 2006) "I've been very blessed, I think, or what do you call it... mmm... lucky to get at this stage what I have. It's not like I've come from acting school and done work at an academy or something. I feel I've been given a very huge chance and opportunity." (Stardust magazine, July 2006)

It was great to win the poll last year and would be lovely to win it again lets wait and watch what happens , she said excitedly.Competing with Katrina in the race for the title were her Bollywood contemporaries Kareena Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.
Recently while shooting for Priyadarshan’s forthcoming and most talked about project DE DANA DAN,Katrina was down with flu and was bedridden for two days. Her illness threw the schedule out of gear and the unit was forced to shoot other portions.
’’Doctors advised her complete rest and although she was supposed to shoot for a song, she was unable to.

Very Soon, Superstar Star Salman Khan will begin shooting for the second season of his TV show ‘Dus Ka Dum’.The 43-year-old Bollywood superstar has recently been on a campaign trail for different political candidates to woo voters during the elections. He’s also been courting a few controversies while shooting the historical drama Veer .Now, reports have it that Salman is set to return to the small screen with the second season of ‘Dus Ka Dum’ which he might shoot in May and June.It is being speculated that for the last year’s show Salman got a whopping Rs 89 crores for 104 episodes. And the actor apparently demanded a fee hike of Rs. 44 crores for upcoming shows. However, the show’s producers can’t afford to shell out that much of money to the superstar.The ongoing economic recession makes it virtually impossible to pay such astronomical amounts to stars.So now, Salman has done something unexpected. Reports say he has not only dropped his demand to take a fee hike, he’s also reduced his fee this year compared to what he was paid last year.
The hot Malayalam beauty Nayantara may not have reached the league of Bollywood angel Katrina Kaif when it comes to success and fame but she has surely taken one step in common. Recently, Nayan’s presence at a temple caused major chaos and that too for the wrong reasons.
Nayan is known to be frequenting into temples so when she was passing through the Bhagavathy Amman temple, she wanted to have a quick darshan. But little did she know that the temple custom was to have ladies in sarees and Nayan was draped in a churidar.
As soon as she came out, a commotion took place as the locals and the temple authorities did not give her the leverage of an actress. Finally, Nayan is said to have apologized for her ignorance. Katrina also is said to have had an issue like this sometime back when she went into the golden temple at Amritsar.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif has finally ended up their relationship and decided to remain only as a good friend. Cracks have been created in their relationship due to Katrina’s knotting with Ranbir Kapoor on the set of ‘Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahini’. Salman picked up fighting with Katrina for her closeness with Ranbir. Earlier Salman did not believe to the Kat-Ranbir’s rumors but later when the rumor high up, he finds hard to trust on Katrina’s word. This is not the first time that the duo had a fight. Earlier too Salman had major differences with Katrina regarding marriage issue. Sallu wanted to start his family and have kids as he is crossing the appropriate time but Kat who is just 24 is not in the mood to get into matrimonial bonding so early.Bollywood is buzz with Kat-Sallu’s break up as this time the duo is showing no sign of reconciliation. Without settling the issue, the couple headed to different ways for a long time. Katrina is off to Singapore on Wednesday night to shoot for ‘De Dhana Dhan’ with Akshay Kumar and Salman got busy with the shooting of ‘London Dreams’ with Asin.bollywood hot gossips
