Katrina Kaif (pronounced [k@'tri:na: 'ke:f], born Katrina Turquotte, 16 July 1983) is an English actress who works in Hindi films. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics for her acting prowess, she has established herself in Bollywood, and is considered among the country's most attractive and highest-paid actresses. Born in Hong Kong, Kaif and her family lived in several countries before she moved to London. She received her first modelling assignment as a teenager and later pursued a career as a fashion model.

In 2012, Kaif appeared in "Chikni Chameli", an item number in Agneepath that incorporated dance steps from the Lavani genre (a Maharashtrian folk dance). The song was filmed over a ten-day period and, according to the actress, "It was hard work. It was very fast and it was not a style I was used to, but I took it as a challenge". Kaif appeared next in Kabir Khan's espionage thriller Ek Tha Tiger as a Pakistani ISI agent who falls in love with an Indian RAW agent. Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express wrote about her performance: "Katrina is an able, animated foil to Salman, her long legs making her leaps and kicks credible". The film received predominantly positive reviews, with Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis calling it "smart and stylish". With worldwide earnings of Rs3.1 billion (US$47 million), Ek Tha Tiger was the highest-grossing Bollywood film of the year.  That year Kaif also appeared with Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in Yash Chopra's swan song, the romance Jab Tak Hai Jaan. About working with Chopra, she remarked that he "undoubtedly is the king of romance and I have always admired the way he presents his heroines. It was always a dream to work with him and the reality is even better". She played Meera, a woman who promises God to end her affair with her comatose lover if he survives. Although the film received mostly positive reviews, Kaif's performance had a mixed reception. CNN-IBN wrote: "Meera's role was a difficult one and Katrina falls short in emotional scenes. It seems Katrina still doesn't feel very easy in front of the camera and has difficulty with complex expressions". Commercially, the film proved a box-office hit with revenues of Rs2.11 billion (US$32 million) worldwide.  In 2013, she appeared briefly with Aamir Khan in Vijay Krishna Acharya's action thriller Dhoom 3. To prepare for her role as a circus performer, she undertook a year-long regimen of Pilates, functional training and aerial straps. The film received ambivalent reviews and Kaif was criticised for taking on an insubstantial part. Earning Rs5.42 billion (US$83 million) in box-office receipts, Dhoom 3 went on to become the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time until it was surpassed by PK in 2014.  Kaif's next appearance was in Siddharth Anand's Bang Bang! (2014), a remake of the 2010 action comedy Knight and Day. She played a bank receptionist who unwittingly gets caught up with a secret agent (Hrithik Roshan). Raja Sen of Rediff.com was disappointed with her performance, describing it as "insufferable". Although the film was commercially successful, financial analysts observed that it failed to meet box-office expectations. Ek Tha Tiger, Dhoom 3 and Bang Bang! still rank in the list of highest-grossing Indian films, while Jab Tak Hai Jaan still rank in the list of highest-grossing Indian films in overseas markets CANNOTANSWER

Katrina Kaif (uttalas [k@'tri:na: 'ke:f], född Katrina Turquote, 16 juli 1983) är en engelsk skådespelerska som arbetar i hindifilmer. Trots att hon fått blandade recensioner från kritiker för sin skådespelarglädje har hon etablerat sig i Bollywood, och anses vara bland landets mest attraktiva och högst betalda skådespelerskor. Kaif och hennes familj var födda i Hongkong och bodde i flera länder innan hon flyttade till London. Hon fick sitt första modelluppdrag som tonåring och bedrev senare en karriär som modemodell. 2012 medverkade Kaif i "Chikni Chameli", ett objektnummer i Agneepath som införlivade danssteg från Lavani-genren (en maharashtriansk folkdans). Låten spelades in under en tio dagar lång period och enligt skådespelerskan var "Det var hårt arbete. Det gick väldigt fort och det var inte en stil jag var van vid, men jag tog det som en utmaning". Kaif framträdde nästa i Kabir Khans spionagethriller Ek Tha Tiger som en pakistansk ISI-agent som förälskar sig i en indisk RAW-agent. Shubhra Gupta på The Indian Express skrev om sin föreställning: "Katrina är en duglig, animerad folie till Salman, hennes långa ben gör att hon hoppar och sparkar trovärdigt". Filmen fick övervägande positiva recensioner, med Aniruddha Guha of Daily News and Analysis som kallar den "smart och stilren". Med världsomspännande intäkter på Rs3,1 miljarder (US$47 miljoner), var Ek Tha Tiger årets högst grosserande Bollywoodfilm. Det året medverkade Kaif även med Shah Rukh Khan och Anushka Sharma i Yash Chopras svansång, romansen Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Om att arbeta med Chopra anmärkte hon att han "tveklöst är romantikens kung och jag har alltid beundrat hur han presenterar sina hjältinnor. Det var alltid en dröm att arbeta med honom och verkligheten är ännu bättre". Hon spelade Meera, en kvinna som lovar Gud att avsluta sin affär med sin komaälskare om han överlever. Trots att filmen fick mestadels positiva recensioner hade Kaifs uppträdande ett blandat mottagande. CNN-IBN skrev: "Meeras roll var en svår sådan och Katrina kommer till korta i känsloscener. Katrina verkar fortfarande inte känna sig särskilt lätt framför kameran och har svårt med komplexa uttryck". Kommersiellt visade filmen en lådoffice-träff med intäkter på Rs2.11 miljarder (US$32 miljoner) världen över. 2013 framträdde hon kort tillsammans med Aamir Khan i Vijay Krishna Acharyas actionthriller Dhom 3. För att förbereda sig för sin roll som cirkusartist genomförde hon en årslång regim av pilates, funktionell träning och flygband. Filmen fick ambivalenta recensioner och Kaif kritiserades för att ha tagit på sig en inbetydande del. Tjäna Rs5.42 miljarder (US$83 miljoner) i lådkontor kvitton, Dhoom 3 gick vidare till att bli den högst grosserande Bollywood film genom tiderna tills den överträffades av PK 2014. Kaifs nästa framträdande var i Siddharth Anands Bang Bang! (2014), en nyinspelning av 2010 års actionkomedi Knight and Day. Hon spelade en bankreceptionist som omedvetet fastnar hos en hemlig agent (Hrithik Roshan). Raja Sen från Rediff.com blev besviken på sin prestation, och beskrev den som "olidlig". Trots att filmen var kommersiellt framgångsrik, konstaterade finansanalytiker att den inte uppfyllde båsoffice-förväntningarna. Ek Tha Tiger, Dhom 3 och Bang Bang! fortfarande rankas i listan över högst grosserande indiska filmer, medan Jab Tak Hai Jaan fortfarande rankas i listan över högst grosserande indiska filmer på utomeuropeiska marknader CANNOTANSWER Ställ en fråga om denna artikel.
