KATRINA KAIF

KATRINA KAIF was born on 16 July 1984  in Hong Kong,  to an Indian
Kashmiri father, Mohammed Kaif,and an English mother, Susanna urquotte, both of whom are British citizens. Her parents divorced when she was very young. Kaif once stated, "My dad,unfortunately, and not out of choice, has had no influence on our upbringing, on our religious or social or moral bearings". 

When she came to India, she changed her surname to Kaif, because it was Indian in origin.  KATRINA'S original name is Katrina Turquotte, she has seven siblings; a brother and six sisters. From Hong Kong, she and her family moved to China, then to Japan. From there she went (by boat) to France when she was 8, and thereafter lived for a few months at a time in SwitzerlandPoland,GermanyBelgium, and other European countries. 

Then she moved with her family to Hawaii, and eventually to her mother's home country of England. Although it is often assumed that Kaif is from London, she lived there only for three years before finally moving to Mumbai. 
Kaif began her modeling career at age fourteen; her first assignment 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 modeling work led to her discovery by London-based filmmaker Kaizad Gustad, who gave her a part in his filmBoom (2003). The film, which starred Amitabh Bachchan and Gulshan Grover, failed to make an impact. She then moved to Mumbai and was offered a number of modeling assignments, but filmmakers were hesitant to cast Kaif due to her poor command of Hindi. 

In 2005, Kaif made a cameo in Ram Gopal Verma's drama Sarkar, as Abhishek Bachchan's girlfriend. The same year, she landed her first major role in David Dhawan's adaptation of Cactus FlowerMaine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, where she was paired opposite Salman Khan which gave her recognition.
