Katrina Kaif


kaif (born July 16, 1984) is a model and Bollywood actress.

One of 8 siblings, Katrina was born on July 16, 1984, in Hong Kong to British parents, her father being of Kashmiri origin. She grew up in Hawaii and then moved to London.

This changed with the film, Namastey London,along side Akshay Kumar & later Apne, in which she dubbed her own lines
