Katrina Kaif was born on July 16, 1984, in Hong Kong. She was one of eight girls born in Hong Kong to her Caucasian mother and Indian father. Her childhood was split between Hawaii and London, and it was in the former that she began her modeling career at age 14. After moving to London, she continued modeling, and eventually landed a role in her first film Boom.
Boom did not perform well at the box office, but still managed to get Katrina Kaif recognized as an up-and-coming star. After again relocating, this time to Mumbai, she instantly got steady work as both a model and an actress. She’s appeared in Hindi, Telugu and Malayalam films, and has been working exhaustively in both language and dance lessons to expand her repertoire as an Indian actress.
