then Katrina did various modeling assignment in London. She got her break in the
Bollywood movie "Boom" offered by the famous film maker Kaizad Gustad. The film
was not successful at the box office but Katrina Kaif was flooded with modeling
assignments because of her innocent expressive face and drop-dead gorgeous
looks.
Katrina has walked the ramp for several top designers. Besides walking the ramp
she has also been the stunning face of Estelle jewelry, Lakme, Pantene, Veet,
Kodak cameras, L'Oreal, Samsung, LG etc. Katreena is not fluent in Hindi so her

the movie "Namastay London" she dubbed her lines on her own. Her recent films
"Partner" with Salman Khan and Govinda and "Apne" with Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol
