Bollywood bombshell Katrina Kaif turns 25 today. Born in Hong Kong, Katrina was brought up in London and then US, and even Hawai, and now she is in the country she considers her home India. She is one of eight siblings, all girls.Born to Indian and British parents, Katrina Kaif reached Bollywood with the handicaps of a Brit Accent and a big build that outmatched that of most heroes. But after four years, last year proved immensely fortunate for the actress as she starred in four big hits- Namastey London, Apne, Partner and Welcome. This year, she was also part of the first big hit of the year namely, Race.
She gives the credit of her success to her fans and luck. "I don’t think it’s a matter of where you place yourself. It’s a matter of how your fans feel about you and where the industry finds you. At this particular place I think I am lucky to be able to say that I do get offers for a lot of films,” Katrina said.
She is also clear headed about where she is poised. “I am pretty clear about what I want to do. I don’t want to go down the road doing serious cinema. I am happy doing commercial films. The fun films give the audience time to escape the monotony in everyday life,” she said.
When asked during a recent press meet after the big success of NEW YORK, about which passport she holds at present, Katrina refused to divulge anything, saying "no comments", though most of the media and even her fans are under the impression that she holds a British passport!
However, she was quick to call herself a global citizen, saying that she has travelled to as many as twenty counties regarding her work and with her family. Although she feels at home in India and thus considers herself to be an Indian. She also added that it is India which has given her fame and recognition and she owes her successful career to the people of India, who despite her shortcomings have accepted her with open arms.
Quite intelligently put, birthday girl! Wish you a very happy birthday!!
