She has taken Hindi and dancing lessons to fit in with the Bollywood culture. Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.Īlthough linguistically challenged, Katrina puts on a bold face and states that other Bollywood artistes like Sridevi, who did not know Hindi, did get offers from Bollywood film-makers, and she is no different. Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as she states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.ĭespite of her positive attitude, she had been stereotyped as "Indian" by extreme right-wingers in Britain who made it clear that she did not quite fit-in with their "Blonde" Caucasian culture while on the other hand in India itself she had been ranked as an 'outsider' very much like Sonia Gandhi. She retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. Professionally she started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, she received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. She was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.Ĭontinuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie People Cover Story: Bachelorette Baby Boom (2003) offered by none other than film-maker Kaizad Gustad. She spent subsequent years in Hawaii, and then in London, Britain, She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelry campaign. Her mother is now re-settled in Chennai (formerly known as Madras), the Capital of the state of Tamil Nadu in India. Katrina Kaif is one of eight siblings, 7 girls and 1 boy, from a mother who is a Caucasian of British Nationality, and a father who was formerly from Kashmir, India, but who has since acquired British citizenship.
